LOOP FAIR, 2021

La Pedrera – Casa Milà, Passeig de Cràcia, 92 Barcelona
We are proud to present The Crown, by the young talented film-maker Kymani Ceder at LOOP 2021. Kymani Ceder made The Crown in collaboration with Robin Ramos in 2019. What started as a project about ‘natural black hair’ has grown into a poetic ode to Afro-Dutch people who are proud of their frizzy hair and their roots. The film is a re-enactment of a historical narrative played by Afro-Dutch people of today and mixes traditional African images and clichés in a paradoxical but above all liberating way with recordings of contemporary Dutch people with African roots. In this de-colonial time machine Ceder takes you on a journey through the legacy of a special hair tradition and she intertwines past and present. About 80 people contributed to this short film, including several well-known Dutch people such as Veronica van Hoogdalem, Digitzz, Sylvana Simons, Clarice Gargard and Guillermo Babel.
