What do you know about your Ancestral mothers?

Join us for an afternoon of creativity and reflection around the diversity of stories around our Ancestral Women, focusing on the Women also known as ‘Nyais’ - The Ancestral Mothers and an important anchor between Indonesia and The Netherlands.

Under guidance of professional artists we invite you to participate in a variety of workshops to transform your own stories and emotions into art in the context of your ancestors. Through various creative expressions such as spoken word, music, dance, literature, visual art and videography, we will honor, commemorate and continue the legacies of our ancestral women.

Please note that we can not guarantee that you will get your first pick as every workshop can take on a limited number of participants.
