Grada Kilomba's first large-scale installation travels to London, at Somerset House. Consisting of 140 burnt wood blocks, it invites the audience to enter a garden of memory, in which poems rest on burnt wood blocks, recalling forgotten stories and identities. What stories are told? Where are they counted? How are they counted? And told by whom? These are questions that arise when entering this installation.

O Barco/The Boat
GRADA KILOMBA
“O Barco/The Boat” is an installation by the artist Grada Kilomba, comprised of 140 blocks forming the shape of the bottom of a ship, a detailed drawing of the space that was created to accommodate the bodies of millions of Africans enslaved by European empires. Extended along 32 meters of the river, it invites the audience to enter a garden of memories, where poems rest over blocks of burnt wood. Three performance acts are expected during the biennial.
