November 19 Grand Celebration
Reclaiming Our Stories: Restoring Our Ties
In the same spirit as our community gathering on November 11 in the Lions Den, we’ll continue our interactive journey this week. On Tuesday, November 19, we have a Community Gathering with a Fireside Chat in the Heritage House, Paramiraweg.
Program:
- 18.00 Walk in | Food and Drinks are available
- 18.30 Screening of the award winning documentary ‘A Story of Bones’
- 20.00 Showcase of Ancestral Artifacts
- 20.30 Libation for Our Ancestors
Target group: Descendant Community St. Eustatius
Organized in collaboration with the Heritage Inspector, the Statia Cultural Heritage Implementation Committee (SCHIC), and collaborative partners.
The documentary ‘A Story of Bones‘ shows striking similarities with the fight to preserve the Afrikan Burial Grounds on St. Eustatius. We have the privilege of having the protagonist of the documentary, Annina Van Neel here on the island with us. She will be present on November 19 as well and share her experiences of her struggle and her stay here on the island with you.
