Memory and identity: 75 years of Moluccan history in the Netherlands

What to expect

Podium Hoge Woerd organises a monthly talk on a current topic, linked to a theatre performance.

Charissa Leiwakabessy presents a first impression of the findings from the UvA research project Understandings of Colonialism by Dutch Moluccans and Implications for Colonial Repair, led by dr. Jessica Soedirgo.

The project looks at how Moluccan Dutch people from different generations understand the colonial past and what that means for recognition and repair today.

Visual art is used as a starting point for conversation, and the evening is informal and small-scale with room for questions.

• First findings from a UvA project
• Conversations with the Moluccan community
• Visual art as a starting point
