the work revolves around the key concepts of collaboration and ‘community’. Ceder’s concern is to find new ways of telling stories by means of metaphors and symbols. Her film The Crown, 2019, began as a project about ‘naturally Black hair’ and developed into a poetic ode to African-Dutch people who are proud of their Afro-textured hair and their origins. In this decolonialized time machine Ceder takes us on a journey through the legacy of a remarkable hairstyling tradition while intertwining past and present. About eighty people participated in this short film, including a number of well-known Dutch personalities such as Veronica van Hoogdalem, Digitzz, Sylvana Simons, Clarice Gargard and Guillermo Babel. Ceder also collaborated intensively with Robin Ramos in order to realize the work. (Text from the gallery website)
