Kunstinstituut Melly

The third edition of Tools for Conviviality continues our ongoing work to reimagine our ground-floor bookstore, café, and event space as an active, responsive environment for public life.

Across the second floor, we are proud to present donna Kukama: I Breathe, You Breathe, her first solo exhibition in the Netherlands, bringing together two decades of her radical practice. The exhibition features a newly commissioned mural and performances. In her work, history is approached as a living, breathing body, navigated in all its complexity and reclaimed through multiple narratives.

Spirit Faith Grace Rage presents a selection of photographs, sounds, and printed matter that Marilyn Nance meticulously gathers to open up connections between the United States, the African continent, and African diasporas. From churches and concert halls to the streets, she links New York to cities across the world, amplifying the past century into the one we are living in.

Spirit Faith Grace Rage is Marilyn’s first solo exhibition in Europe.
