This program is dedicated to the collaborative residency faciliated by Framer Framed and KITLV.

For this residency, we invite artists to delve into the archive of the KITLV, and integrate artistic methods with questions of colonial heritage and repair. In this presentation we present glimpses of previous residents' work through a mini-exhibition, a discursive program, and screenings of two films made possible by the Atelier KITLV program.
