As we approach the end of the year, I would like to share some good news with you. In the coming year, The Museum of Black Futures will collaborate with the international platform for contemporary art, Contemporary & (C&).

Multidisciplinary artist Femi Dawkins and versatile composer and pianist Martin Fondse explore the power of the Wild Card: the unpredictable element, the joker that defies rules and moves freely between structures. In card games, the Wild Card is the trump card, the symbol of ultimate freedom. It can take on any role, break through playing patterns and bring unexpected twists.

To be held and erased at the same time... Choreographer Christian Guerematchi, born from both Central-African and Slovene heritage, moves along the delicate thread between tenderness and suffocation.. recognizing our experiences where double consciousness shapes and the proximity to whiteness wounds, and forms.

The Museum of Black Futures is a traveling art and heritage station that works with performance, ritual, music, and podcasts to imagine new futures. And during the Museumnacht Amsterdam, The Museum of Black Futures took over The Bookshop at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam. We center Afrofuturism, the imagination of Black Futures, and seek a state of zero colonial gravity. Together, we've turned the theatre into our own Radical Space Station.

During this evening filled with performance and conversation, we have transformed Theater aan de Rijn into our museum for the night. Our theme? Returning to the Sacred Mother. Together, we explored how we can reverse the Door of No Return — through exhibitions, artworks, and museum practices that help us imagine new futures. A form of reparations that goes beyond financial compensation, one in which we ourselves are in charge.
