Artists Chloë Delanghe and Mattijs Driesen take us through Hexham Heads, presented in the exhibition Becoming Ancestors.

In this short conversation, they reflect on the persistence of unresolved stories and the uneasy relationship between past and present. Drawing from paranormal narratives and collective memory, the film explores how images and objects might retain traces of what once passed through them.

In 'The Porters' (2022) by Sarah Vanagt, Brussels youth gather on park benches, phones in hand, watching the oldest surviving footage of Congo recorded during a colonial expedition between 1911 and 1913. As they play a game based on the 8000+ objects looted for Belgium’s Congo Museum, they listen to the songs of the anonymous porters who carried these treasures on their shoulders.

How can ancestral knowledge of wild plants become a site of resistance against occupation and control?

In We would be freer (2023), Rana Nazzal Hamadeh follows the sumac plant, native to both Palestine and Turtle Island (North America), as a thread connecting two distant lands and Indigenous traditions.

Through the voices of a Palestinian refugee in Ramallah and a woman from the Mohawk community of Kahnawá:ke, the film reflects on land, food, and ancestral knowledge as forms of resistance.

Now on view in our current exhibition.

Six films by contemporary Māori artists explore Indigenous rematriation, a concept that proposes restoring balance, harmony, and connection to the land through a lineage of female knowledge.

Facing urgent political, historical, and environmental questions in Aotearoa / New Zealand and beyond, the works continue conversations around decolonisation, cultural continuity, and the shared responsibility of caring for the land and for one another.

In collaboration with and curated by Tanya Te Miringa Te Rorarangi Ruka.

"The dead are not dead". 📺 In 'La Saison des Funérailles' (2011), documents his stay in Cameroon, where funeral rites gently unsettle Western distinctions between life and death. Moving from village to village, celebrations of the dead reveal ancestrality not as a distant past but as a living continuum.

Part of , a free film from the argos collection available online each month, unfolding alongside the exhibition Becoming Ancestors.

Available for streaming until 2 April 🔗

What happens when an 18th-century warrior meets a time traveler from the future?

In Ladhamba Tayem, Future Continuous (2023), imagines a conversation across time: Kangsore, a Yakthung warrior from Limbuwan (present-day eastern Nepal) who is resisting colonial forces, enters into dialogue with his future descendant.

Blending Indigenous history with science-fiction, the film draws on Yakthung culture, language, songs and symbols to ask: what do we inherit, and what futures are we shaping in return?

Now on view in our current exhibition.
