Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Hope this finds you well.

We are very pleased to invite you to the 2-day Public Program 'Landings: ' at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam on
11th -12th January 2014.

The program spans two days of lectures, artist talks, film screenings, a temporary display, and a performance with several contributors including Angela Melitopoulos and Angela Anderson, Otobong Nkanga, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Willem de Rooij, Daniel C. Baber, Yasmina Dekkar, Adrian Martin, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Camille Henrot, Waswo X. Waswo, among others.

'Landings: Confrontation and Confession' will explore the role of land as a concrete and narrative element — engaging its terrain, resources, (de)colonization, and cultural circulation, while also outlining the geographic imperative of capital.

Warmest Seasonal Greetings and we look forward to seeing you in 2014!

our best,
Natasha and Vivian
