Program topics

PPI Delft ( Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia) is an Indonesian student association in Delft, that organizes a yearly Indonesian art and culture event named InDelftnesia. Four representatives of the PPI Delft will highlight the theater performances of InDelftnesia 2018 and 2019.

Mr. Theo Stucken, alum. architect TU Delft and initiator of the event, will share his views and dream regarding a shared future of Indonesian and Dutch/Indo and Moluccan communities, specially in The Netherlands.

Marjolein van Pagee will share her views regarding the difference between the dates 15 and 17 August, including the difference between the years 1945 and 1949. She asks attention for the impact of the language barrier between Indonesia and the Netherlands. The latter may explain why the aforementioned differences exist, as Indonesian critical voices are not represented in the country of the former colonizer. She will further elaborate on the question how to bridge the differences between Dutch and Indonesian perspectives on colonial history. 

Muhammad Ulil Ahsan will deliver a perspective on food and colonialism as he found interesting during his fieldwork in South Sulawesi. The natural resource management and decolonisation nexus, especially in food issue is still underexplored. He believes, it might be an interesting topic to explore further in Indonesia. 

Dr. Reza Kartosen-Wong is a lecturer Media and Culture at the Faculty of Humanities | University of Amsterdam. He also writes columns about the heritage of colonialism and stereotyping in present day media. He will read a column about stereotyping of (Eur)Asians in Dutch media and culture as a form of legacy of colonialism.
