Exhibition: Our Colonial Realities
In Our Colonial Realities, descendants of enslaved people and contract laborers from Arnhem have been photographed by photographer Milan Schellingerhout at historical sites in Arnhem that have a direct connection to the colonial past. The stories have been recorded by researcher and writer Sahar Noor. The stories focus on how they give meaning to the colonial past, how it still lives on in the present, and how it will continue to resonate in the future. The exhibition invites you to reflect on our colonial legacies (all days: main hall, K33)
