Forget to Remember 2025
Who do we remember? And who do we forget?
Forget to Remember brings to life underexposed stories from the history of colonialism and enslavement, told from the perspective of women of color. Through a combination of music, dance, spoken word and performance, past and present come together on a journey through time and space.
Together with Shishani & Sisterhood and DOX, Sites of Memory works to highlight the voices of women role models from history. Their stories, often ignored in the writing of history, are given the space they deserve in Forget to Remember.
The performance is an immersive experience that brings the audience to a world of rhythms, movement, and powerful stories. Through the eyes of contemporary female and non-binary artists, the legacy of colonial histories is re-examined and connected to our current times.
With a collective of talented creators, a layered, artistic creation is brought to life that not only confronts, but also connects and inspires.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to collectively remember stories that should not be forgotten!

About Shishani & Sisterhood
In 2021, multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Shishani founded the collective Sisterhood. Through music, dance and storytelling, this unique group of performers puts the voices of women and queer individuals at the center of their work. Their focus is on creating a space where unheard stories, memories and the legacy of the colonial past are transformed into new, shared narratives.
