2025-10-29 | Richard Kofi: Museum of Black Futures at at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam | Museumnacht

During Amsterdam Museum Night (November 1, 2025), The Museum of Black Futures, curated by our fellow Richard Kofi, will take over The Bookshop at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam.

The Museum of Black Futures is a traveling art and heritage laboratory that uses performance, rituals, music, and podcasts to imagine new ways of being together. This museum is not a building, does not yet have a collection, but is a space to think, feel, and connect freely.

ITA is housed in the Amsterdamse Schouwburg, a building where the history of power, culture, and trade is still palpable. Tonight, we turn that perspective around. We center Afrofuturism, the imagination of Black Futures, and search for a state of zero colonial gravity. Together, we create a space in which art, podcasts, rhythms, dance, and new symbolism are sent out into the world. Can we imagine a new state of being? One in which gathering, imagination, and healing move freely.

Together, we create a night in which rituals turn into rhythms, memories move, and imagination takes flight. See the full program below.
