INVISIBLE WOMAN | Ado Ato Interactive

In the VR experience INVISIBLE WOMAN by Ado Ato Interactive, visitors are taken back to 1632 to meet Francesca, a free Black woman who played a central role in Amsterdam’s Black community. Using dynamic re-enactments, archival material and modern animations, the project explores historical gaps and their impact on our understanding of Black women in Dutch society. In collaboration with historian Mark Ponte and journalist Ayaan Abukar, the story is being developed for presentation at Felix Meritis to coincide with the celebration of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary.
