The Need for Legacy

The Need for Legacy has an impressive list of collaborations in spite of a very young history. It also tackles an artistic domain (theatre) that is not generally used for underrepresented communities and social change. The Need for Legacy Foundation (NFL) is working on raising awareness about BIPOC makers by making a history visible that is in danger of disappearing from the archives. BIPOC makers are underrepresented and have to be made visible permanently. By writing an inclusive history, NFL designs a diverse and inclusive future for the Dutch theatre scene. The gain of the activities will circulate directly into the community to enhance the artistic development of their members on the one hand and to do justice to the past by rehabilitating forgotten BIPOC makers and actors. To account for our shared future, there is a community-driven need to include the now-forgotten stories of our past.
