Description

This week’s episode of Many Lenses is entitles ‘Dutch Colonial Slavery: Representations and Impact'. Host Lottie Armett is joined by two experts in Dutch colonial history, Tomas Williams and Maya Pillay. We will explore three artefacts from the recent Slavery Exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam:

Dirk Valkenburg, Ritueel van slaafgemaakten op een suikerplantage in Suriname (1707)

Verslag van het van verhoor van Wally, Sociëteit van Suriname (1707)

Rembrandt van Rijn, Marten en Oopjen (1634)

Each object tells a tale of slavery and its impact, both on the enslaved people and on those who profited from the slave trade.

Lottie Armett, Maya Pillay & Tomas Williams
