OFFoff + Grace Ndiritu:
Contested land and indigenous land rights

Monday 25th October, 20.00 - 22.30
Contested land and Indigenous land rights (NL & ENG)

OFFoff screening curated by Grace Ndiritu and Jubilee
Location: cinema

Programme:

  • Short introduction by Grace Ndiritu and Jubilee
  • In ‘t Patershol (Godelieve Van Geertruyen, 1973, 11 mins) about a group of hippies in the 1970s, living in the Patershol area where Kunsthal Gent is based. (NL)

  • The Last Movie (Dennis Hopper, 1971, 108 mins)
    Kansas (Hopper) is a stunt coordinator in this arthouse fiction cult classic. He is in charge of horses on a western being shot in a small Peruvian village. He thinks he has found paradise, but is soon called in to help in a bizarre incident: the Peruvian natives are "filming" their own movie with "cameras" made of sticks, and acting out real western movie violence, as they don't understand movie fakery. (ENG)
GHENT: HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER

This event is part of GHENT: HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER (A Season of Truth and Reconciliation), a project by artist Grace Ndiritu in the framework of Kunsthal Gent's Development Programme.

Grace Ndiritu examines how the site of the former Caermersklooster, where the interests of the different people and institutions who use or own the site are in conflict, can serve as a model for the practice of commoning. In collaboration with Jubilee/Caveat.
