Hompie Smeergraag

Hompie Smeergraag and Koning (King) Eru, travel to America. Again, they want everyone to taste the Eru spreadable cheese from the Netherlands. They end up in New York. Before they leave, the local government invites them and is impressed with the cheese. They also mention New York wouldn't exist without their Dutch ancestors and settlers (page 4). After this, they go to the ''prairies" and meet Native Americans who are not easily impressed.

Facing Blackness is a multimedia exhibition that takes the public through the obscure history of portraying Black people from the colonial period to contemporary society. Using unique archive material and visual art, we show how anti-black racism became part of the Dutch 'cultural archive' and our everyday ideas, customs and utensils. On the other hand, the exhibition shows how there has always been 'everyday resistance' to various forms of racism and how Black people themselves have given and continue to give meaning to their culture and identity.
