Rotterdam’s Dia di Tula opens with the film Furcy on 14 August and leads to storytelling, youth spoken word, children’s making, music and dance at De Hillevliet on 17 August.
What you need to know
Furcy follows an enslaved man using the law to claim freedom, turning commemoration into a human argument rather than a date. The community day then lets children, young performers and families retell Tula’s legacy: how different generations understand resistance, identity and responsibility to one another. The agenda spans 14–17 August, but not every day has the same venue or programme. The film belongs at LantarenVenster; the principal community gathering is at Hillevliet. A free label also does not prove that every screening needs no reservation. Hokimi would choose an entry point—film, youth voices or creative family work—instead of treating the whole programme as one vague cultural stop.
- The programme runs across 14–17 August.
- Furcy opens the sequence on 14 August.
- The 17 August community programme is at De Hillevliet.
- Storytelling, spoken word, children’s activities, music and dance are included.
