<\/p>\nThe highlight of the exhibition is the world premiere of A Sunken Tale of Losses Delayed (2026). The film was specially commissioned by the World Museum and made in collaboration with Danish writer and director S\u00f8ren Lind, with whom Sansour has worked closely for some time. In addition to this new film, two earlier works will also be on view: In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2016), a film about nation-construction through fictional archaeology, and Familiar Phantoms (2022), an exploration of childhood nostalgia, trauma, love and resilience.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is not called Rogue Agents of History for nothing. Central figures are pirates, ghosts and guerrilla archaeologists who appropriate, disrupt and reload historical narratives. Sansour works from the Palestinian context, but the themes she addresses are broader: identity, memory, loss and the question of where you belong. She does so by deliberately mixing up eras. The Ottoman era, the Israeli occupation and fictional future scenarios flow together in her work. Fact and fiction, documentary and myth: the line blurs.<\/p>\n

Rogue Agents of History can be seen from April 24 to September 27, 2026. Over five months, so there's no reason to delay. The World Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, and also on Mondays during national school vacations. For those who live in East: the museum is a stone's throw away and this is exactly the kind of exhibition you don't have to go downtown for.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
