About Un|Earthed – Of Mothers, Grandmothers and Freedom
Colonial history has wiped many stories off the map.
In this magical realist weaving of Surinamese folktale and biography, Inez Aponte follows a fragile thread back in time to meet the mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers that carried her family to safety and freedom.
Meet an old crone, shape-shifting animals, and magical babies who speak from their mother’s womb, as she explores themes of home, rootedness, and belonging.
