Freedom and emancipation: Reflections on post-slavery and the search for freedom

Tropenmuseum and KITLV Events Exhibition ‘Black & White’

Lecture: ‘Freedom and emancipation: Reflections on post-slavery and the search for freedom’

Who is black and who is white? Who actually determines this? And what does the slavery past have to do with this? 150 years after the abolition of slavery, the Tropenmuseum will invite visitors to engage in discussion, with each other and with themselves in the exhibition Black & White.

Personal stories, photos, videos, contemporary art and historical documents explore how ‘black’ and ‘white’ people have lived with each other in the Netherlands since 1863.
