‘Swartin’ Anna in Arnhem
De voorstelling ANNA gaat over de geschiedenis van een zwarte vrouw, ‘swartin’ Anna vanVossenburg, genoemd naar de plantage in Suriname waar ze geboren is. Er is weinig over haar bekend behalve dat ze in de vroege 18e eeuw met twee verweesde dochters van de overleden plantage-eigenaar naar Nederland, naar Arnhem komt. Ze blijft er haar hele leven wonen. Maar, wie was ze? Hoe werd ze behandeld en hoe voelde ze zich? Ze komt tot leven in de tweede voorstelling van de Schitterende Schaduw reeks: ANNA.
Reframing HERstory Art Foundation
De voorstelling wordt geproduceerd door Reframing HERstory Art Foundation uit Arnhem. De stichting draagt bij aan bewustwording en educatie van het koloniaal en slavernijverleden van Gelderland met het uiteindelijke doel te helen. In de actualiteit van het herdenkingsjaar, 150 jaar afschaffing van de slavernij, voelt zij meer dan ooit de noodzaak voor meerstemmigheid, om andere verhalen uit de geschiedenis zichtbaar te maken.
Na de voorstelling is er een workshop met de focus op helen. Deze zal worden geleid door Farida Nabibaks en drama- & movement therapeut, mede-oprichter van Ancestral Connections en oprichter van Expressive movement of South Africa, Sian Palmer (ZA). Voor meer info over Sian, zie onderaan. De workshop zal in het Nederlands en Engels gepresenteerd worden.
Inloop vanaf 19:00 uur, de zaal gaat open vanaf 19:30 uur.
Aanvang van de voorstelling om 20.00 uur.
Het programma eindigt ca. 22:00

ANNA is the second Radiant Shadow production, about a Black woman who lived in Arnhem in the 18thCentury. Little is known about her. What we do know is that she was born in slavery on the Vossenburg plantation in Suriname. The owner was a Dutchman from Arnhem. When he died, Anna accompanied his two daughters, almost her own age, from Suriname to their new home in Arnhem. Her life was spent in obscurity, buut she must have been a spectacle being a Black woman. Who was she? How was she treated, and how did she feel? She comes to life in our performance: ANNA.
