A Colonial Presence
The first subject under Revisit History — Antwerp and the colonial century, read through the visible and invisible traces the era pressed into the city's everyday surfaces.
The approach doesn't lean on traditional historical narrative; it starts from connectedness, reflection, and structural insight — making complex themes accessible without simplifying them, and inviting active engagement, dialogue, and reinterpretation.
