Work

Read the Masks. Tradition is Not Given

A collaboration between Annette Krauss, Swedish artist Petra Bauer, and the two Dutch cultural and activist groups Untold and Doorbraak [5] investigating and protesting against the Dutch phenomenon of the racist black-face tradition, called Zwarte Piet (Black Pete). Read the Masks looks at the underlying institutional structures in Dutch society in upholding this tradition, its involvement in broader racist structures of which Zwarte Piet is but a symptom. [6]

The project has been first realized in the context of the exhibition Be(com)ing Dutch at Van Abbemuseum 2008–2011. [7] It consists of three parts: an installation and announcements for a performance and protest march that never happened (2008), [8] debates (2008) and a film [9] by Annette Krauss and Petra Bauer (2009).

Read the Masks. Tradition is Not Given is discussed in White Innocence: Paradoxes of Colonialism and Race by Gloria Wekker (2016), [10] The Emancipated Museum by Steven ten Thije (2017), [11] and "A Heteronomous Hobby: Report from the Netherlands" by Sven Lütticken (2011). [12]

Hidden Curriculum

The art project Hidden Curriculum is a collaboration with high school students. It revolves around the question of how high school students investigate a so-called hidden curriculum in their specific everyday school environment. Krauss' understanding of the term 'hidden curriculum' is everything that is learned in school next to the official curriculum. [13]

Long-term collaborations, and exhibitions for Hidden Curriculum were realized with the help of Casco Art Institute in 2007 (with Gerrit Rietveld College, and Amadeus Lyceum Utrecht), at The Showroom 2012, [14] and Whitechapel Gallery 2012–2013. [15]

Hidden Curriculum is discussed in Documenting Secrets by Hannah Jickling and Helen Reed; [16] "Annette Krauss e.a. – Hidden Curriculum" in onderwijs filosofie (2017); [17] I think the artistic is like a double-edged sword. by Laila Huber (2014); [18] and "… To be hidden does not mean to be merely revealed – Part 2: Artistic research on hidden curriculum" [19] in Medienimpulse 2015.

[20]

After the collapse of the empire, these and other sites were abandoned and overgrown, allowing much of the era's stone carving and architecture to survive to the present day. Traditional Cambodian arts and crafts include textiles, non-textile weaving, silversmithing, stone carving, lacquerware, ceramics, wat murals, and kite-making.

<i>Portrait of an African Man</i> Painting by Jan Mostaert

The Portrait of an African Man also known as Portrait of a Moor is a painting by the Dutch Renaissance painter Jan Mostaert. Mostaert probably made the painting between c. 1525 and 1530, or slightly earlier. The exact subject of the painting has long been unclear, although numerous ideas have been put forward, including that the depicted figure is a soldier, a nobleman or Saint Maurice. The portrait is significant in that it may portray the earliest surviving portrait of a specific black man in European painting, though Saint Maurice, and Balthazar of the Three Kings or Biblical Magi, had long been usually portrayed as Africans.
