Rotterdammers Reflect

Rotterdammers Reflect

What happened in the past cannot be changed. But we can sometimes control how histories are passed on and recounted. Each of the thematic elements of Colonialism and Rotterdam features a Rotterdammer reflecting on what they will be passing on.

Colonialism and Rotterdam includes reflections from Peggy Wijntuin, Joan Mertodirjo, Tamara Nivillac, Simaõ Miguel, plus Sabrina Starke and Irene Agyeman Hin of Diaspora Wellhouse, who give their own answers to the unique questions. Their input invites visitors to seek out the five audio points in the exhibition, listen and to look at the exhibition – and Rotterdam – through different eyes.

Colonialism and Rotterdam is showing at Wereldmuseum Rotterdam from 1 December 2023 to 3 November 2024.
