Het Hem-The Black Archives

Lawine Mixtape

Dive into the immersive world of Lawine's latest mixtape, unveiled in a video introduction presented by The Black Archives at Het Hem. This mixtape isn't just a musical journey – it's a daring reinterpretation of audio archives chronicling the colonial history of Surinam and The Netherlands.

In the creation of this video, I delved deep into Lawine's behind-the-scenes treasures, using a medley of exclusive footage and striking artwork by Brian Elstak, a creative force within Lawine. Fusing this existing material with fresh footage captured at Het Hem, the result is a vibran collage-style video that breathes new life into historical narratives and artistic expression.
