- Research Center for Material Culture
Amal Alhaag is an Amsterdam based independent curator, cultural producer and researcher who develops ongoing experimental research practice, public programs and projects on current (global) social affairs, decoloniality, archives, counter-culture, oral histories and popular culture. Since 2004 her projects have infused music and art with current affairs, dialogic and everyday anecdotes to invite, stage or examine ‘uncomfortable’ issues, unknown stories and unwelcome audiences to write, share or compose narratives in impermanent settings. Her research project Technologies of Certain Bodies was exhibited as part of the Dutch Pavilion Work, Body & Leisure at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018. Currently the sonic and visual culture project Diasporic Self: Black Togetherness as Lingua Franca initiated in collaboration with artist and curator Barby Asante is on show at 198 Contemporary Art & Learning in London and at Framer Framed in Amsterdam.
