Webinar | Indonesia and the Amsterdam School #1: architecture and colonisation

In this webinar series, Museum het Schip cooperates with Heritage hands-on, Pusat Dokumentasi Arsitektur and Yayasan Museum Arsitektur Indonesia to explore relationships between the Amsterdam School and Indonesia by inviting heritage experts, historians, architects, curators and artists.

This first webinar serves as an introduction to the series. It discusses the origins of the Amsterdam School architectural style within the context of the rise of public housing and Dutch colonialism in Indonesia. Melle van Maanen, curator of the exhibition Indonesia and the Amsterdam School, now on view at Amsterdam School Museum Het Schip, discusses the topic with moderator Hasti Tarekat. Part of the webinar is the screening of a short introductory film. There will be room for conversation afterwards.
