Webinar Collections from Colonial Context in the Netherlands
The colonial past has left traces in many places, also in the collections of Dutch museums and other institutions. Communities lost their objects because they were taken and brought to the Netherlands. Sometimes as loot but many cases due the imbalance of power. The current Dutch policy on colonial collections aims to help rectify this historic injustice by facilitating requests for restitution of cultural heritage objects from countries of origin, by working towards openness and transparency about collections in the Netherlands, and by strengthening international collaboration on these collections. This webinar is specifically curated for participants based in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
