The future of the Dutch colonial past: curating heritage, art and activism

Uittreksel

"Institutions across the globe are increasingly questioned on how their foundations are rooted in colonialism and how they aim to 'decolonize'. The Future of the Dutch Colonial Past provides an overview of critical scholarly reflections on the history of Dutch slavery and colonization, as well as how this translates into critical cultural practices. It also explores possible futures: What can heritage institutions learn from (international) best practices regarding the 'decolonization' of museums? And what role can contemporary artistic practices take in these processes? Through a variety of essays, interventions, interviews, and a roundtable conversation, scholars and cultural practitioners address these complex questions."-- Provided by publisher.

    "The project The Future of the Dutch Colonial Past started in 2021 with a two-day conference organized in conjunction with the exhibition The Golden Coach at the Amsterdam Museum. The conference was a collaboration between the Amsterdam Museum, Institute of War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies (NIOD), the Rijksmuseum, The Black Archives, the University of Amsterdam (including research groups such as the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA)), the National Museum of World Cultures, and the Amsterdam City Archives, who are also co-publishers of this book. [...] Some of the contributions to the symposium have been rewritten and included as essays in this book. In the months following the conference we also sent out a call for papers, asking for contributions from international artists and academics on a range of related topics, some of which you will find in this reader."--Introduction (page 12).
