I adore, admire and will forever champion Charl Landvreugd’s loving efforts to theorize and contribute to the visual language of Afro-Dutch artists. Dutch Afro Becomings: Hybrid Being in Black Art and Culture is a publication to sit with, to closely read. And reread. It’s an art-historical love note about and towards future understandings and redefinings that no longer feel borrowed but are unmistakably ours.

Love.
