Maarten Vanden Eynde and Meessen are proud to announce a new solo exhibition focusing on colonial memories, monuments, and magical materials infused with propaganda, glorification, and misrepresentation, as well as with nostalgia, fear, and trauma. Hoaxing Histories examines the lasting influence of white colonial culture and brings together complex, often contradictory stories of shared heritage in shocking new constellations.
