Janet Bellotto at the art route The Future Has Many Histories (20/12/2024)
Art Route The Future Has Many Histories described in this booklet stems from the program The Future Has Many Histories whose exhibitions were on display at the Bewaerschole from 2021 to 2023. In addition to the exhibitions, all participating artists were also asked to create a work of art in the public space in Burgh-Haamstede.
The Future Has Many Histories addresses important philosophical and artistic themes related to past-present-future. The exhibitions address interpretations of archaeology, social and cultural heritage, and the (non-linear) history of Schouwen-Duiveland. In addition, the possible, but speculative, influence of the Anthropocene is discussed. On Schouwen-Duiveland, the relationship between man and nature is becoming increasingly visible in the landscape. Over the centuries, the island has been shaped by both the elements and people. The Future Has Many Histories, stands for the future has multiple histories. It creates dialogue, collaboration and challenge between artists, the public, the environment and residents.
