We were pleased to host an online lunch event on 13 May 2020 in collaboration with Mister Motley. A conversation with Ama Josephine Budge, moderated by Yolande Zola Zoli van der Heide, curator at the Van Abbemuseum.

Ama Josephine Budge is a writer, curator, artist and pleasure artist. Her work navigates between intimate explorations of race, art, ecology and feminism, working to activate movements that catalyse human rights, environmental evolutions and troublesomely queered identities. The sience-fictional and resistant practices of the artist can, Budge argues, reimagine the agencial capacity of queer Black bodies in relation to environmentally-changes futures in the face of what has been termed ‘climate colonialism’. Together with Yolande Zola Zoli van der Heide, she will talk about these matters, and her newly written essay Tales from the Abyss.
