Off-Shore

Lavinia Xausa

“Off-Shore is an album project emerged as a spinoff of the film Further than Hip Hop. Xausa’s work draws a parallel between the word of colonial missionaries of the past and the words of nowadays rappers and spoken-word-artists in The Netherlands. In the album, the spoken word artists and musicians, Neusa Gomes, Kevin Josias, Adeiye Tjon, Rik Zutphen, Kiki Luitwieler, Shiva Willem, Jephan Esseboom, and Kenny Gomes, perform the contributions they wrote in response to a series of conversations Xausa initiated about the effects of Dutch colonial history in The Netherlands.”
