During the young Makers Festival, Collectif Faire-Part shares its view of our surroundings. In the corridors of DE SINGEL we encounter Speech for a melting statue, a film about how present, past and future are inextricably intertwined. In June 2020 thousands of people took to the streets in Brussels to protest against police violence and institutional racism. They were showing their solidarity with Black Lives Matter. For a while it looked as if the demonstrators would topple the statue of King Leopold II. The statue is still standing today, but an optimistic poet is already starting to prepare her speech for the day that it is removed. Archive images of colonial monuments arriving at a museum in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) are accompanied by a ceremonial text from the poet Marie Paule Mugeni. The voice-over presents the official removal of a colonial statue from Brussels as if this will be taking place the following day. Unlike in Kinshasa, there are today still no concrete plans for the statues that have been under discussion in recent years.
