As part of this Culture and Politics specialisation event, Leiden staff member Dr. Diana Natermann will speak about colonial heritage and the politics of museums in the 21st century. A very current and hot topic, no doubt, so students are encouraged to come with questions for the Q&A session to follow the talk. This event follows nicely from a recent discussion with the Dutch Ambassador for International Cultural Cooperation who, among other issues, spoke about the Dutch government’s recent return to the Indonesian government of a dagger that belonged to the leader of the rebellion against Dutch colonial rule, Prince Diponegoro.
