Book club alert 🚨 ⭐ 📚
Join us on Saturday April 20th at MaMA in Rotterdam for an afternoon of discussion and discovery. Together, we will be discussing “Dawn” by Octavia Butler and exploring the WHOSE LAND IS IT ANYWAY? / Y TA KEN SU TERA E TA? exhibition. The book club includes a tour guide through the exhibition.

"Dawn" by Octavia Butler is a science fiction novel following the journey of Lilith Iyapo. Lilith is a human survivor awakened by an alien species known as the Oankali, who offer her a chance for humanity's survival through genetic merging. It is the first book in the Xenogenesis / Lilith's Brood trilogy.

The WHOSE LAND IS IT ANYWAY? / Y TA KEN SU TERA E TA? exhibition – curated by Caithlin Courtney Chong – explores self-sufficiency, sustainability, de-colonialism, and tourism in relation to the future of the ABC-SSS islands. The exhibition features work by Quiana Cronie, Nigel Maduro, Glodiie, and Natisha Engel.
