Join curator Samuel Saelemakers for a guided tour of Copper thread, Rubber thread, Sugar thread, Sammy Baloji’s exhibition at Kunsthal Extra City.

During the tour, Saelemakers will share insights into the making of the exhibition and the connections between the different works on display. Together, we will explore how Baloji intertwines colonial histories with contemporary questions of memory, power and representation through tapestry, sound and archival material.

A unique opportunity to experience the exhibition from a curatorial perspective.
