Today, July 1, is Keti Koti. Keti Koti means 'Broken Chains'. We commemorate and celebrate the legal abolition of slavery in the former colonies of Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles (July 1, 1863).
This year's Keti Koti Festival will take place on the Museum square. On this day, you’re also welcome to join Charl Landvreugd, Head of Research and Curatorial Practice at the Stedelijk Museum. He takes you on a tour to see a selection of works in the collection that were created by artists from the African diaspora. Final tickets via link in bio.
On July 1, we also offer a free workshop 'make your 1873 button' and speedtours by the
@blikopeners . See you soon!
