Zeeuws Museum

Heden van het slavernijverleden

Until 18 May 2025 from 11:00 to 17:00

Exhibition

In deze tentoonstelling stelt het museum de vragen: Wat is ons gedeelde slavernijverleden? Hoe gaan we er tegenwoordig mee om? En hoe kunnen we een gemeenschappelijke toekomst maken? Dit doen we aan de hand van historische objecten, kunstwerken en interviews met wetenschappers en andere deskundigen.

Ongelijkheid

Het is ruim 160 jaar geleden dat slavernij is afgeschaft maar de ongelijke raciale verhoudingen die in honderden jaren zijn opgebouwd, zijn niet vanzelf verdwenen. Is de relatie tussen het slavernijverleden en het heden voor veel witte Nederlanders niet helder, voor de meeste zwarte Nederlanders is de link met ongelijkheid, racisme en discriminatie pijnlijk duidelijk.

Heden van het slavernijverleden

Het Zeeuws Museum neemt Heden van het slavernijverleden over van het Wereldmuseum. Het gebruikt de presentatie om met experts en publiek te onderzoeken hoe verhalen over de Zeeuwse rol in de slavernij en koloniale geschiedenis in de toekomst kunnen worden toegevoegd aan de tentoonstelling Dit is Zeeland. De versie van het Wereldmuseum is uitgebreid met een aantal Zeeuwse stukken zoals de documentaire Kom (2023) van Zeus Hoenderop. Deze film laat het proces rondom het plaatsen van het slavernijmonument in Vlissingen zien. Ook keren de originele protestborden van de Black Lives Matter-demonstratie in 2020 in Middelburg terug naar het Abdijplein. Het is een bruikleen van het Rijksmuseum die de hele reeks heeft opgenomen in de collectie. De installatie White Hand (2008) van Remy Jungerman komt uit de eigen collectie. Het werk is aangekocht door het Zeeuws Museum naar aanleiding van zijn tentoonstelling Heimwee in 2008.

In Heden van het slavernijverleden is ook spoken word van Onias Landveld en Dorothy Blokland; zijn er interviews met Karwan Fatah-Black, Marian Markelo, Amade M'charek en Gloria Wekker en films van Elizeth Labega, Jean Hellweg en Wijnand Stomp.
