Lend me your ears - Tent Rotterdam

Opening Thursday March 5th, 18.00pm.
March 6 - June 7, 2026 from Thursday to Sunday
Tent, Coolhaven 32, Rotterdam

Lend Me Your Ears is an exhibition about how memories and stories connect people, across generations and through time. Six artists reflect on the transience of our existence and the fragile yet powerful role of memory. What do we pass on? And what continuity do we want to be a part of?

Six memorable projects, several of which are premiering, utilize ancient symbols, science fiction, film, mark-making, dance, and live storytelling to create meaningful connections between the past, present, and future. The central theme is transmission: from person to person, from voice to voice, from generation to generation.

With new work by Iratxe Jaio (Lexicon of vanishing words), Dorota Detlaf, Kwinnie Lê and Müge Yilmaz, among others, a layered journey unfolds along personal memories, ancestral lines and future stories.

Lend Me Your Ears is the last exhibition that Anke Bangma will realise as curator and artistic director for TENT, before she hands over her role later this year.

With: Dorota Detlaf, Iratxe Jaio, Kwinnie Lê, David Maroto, Müge Yilmaz, dancer Amparo González Sola and live storytellers.
