Beyond Walls

About Beyond Walls

What does (pre)colonial heritage mean in today’s world? Beyond Walls explores this question through research, art and storytelling.

Beyond Walls is an Amsterdam-based and globally active platform of independent (cultural) professionals, artists and visual storytellers.

The afterlives of colonialism still shape everyday life. What does (pre)colonial heritage mean in today’s world? Beyond Walls explores this question through research, art and storytelling.

Beyond Walls is an Amsterdam-based and globally active collective of independent researchers, curators and visual storytellers. We initiate and collaborate on projects that structurally embed diaspora and community-centered voices. Within and beyond the walls of institutions.

In our work we highlight the entanglement of personal stories, colonial history and today’s world we live in. Involving the impact and afterlives of colonialism/coloniality and related unequal power structures, racism and questions on identity and belonging.

We operate with a diverse team of independent professionals. Core team and founders: Suzanne Rastovac (historian, curator) Jeremy Flohr (visual storyteller, audio engineer), Armando Ello (photographer, filmmaker, publisher), Glenda Pattipeilohy (event producer, educator, co-curator).
