Uncover untold stories of the Dutch East India Company through art and archives.
They are delighted to be hosting this powerful new exhibition that brings history to life through art. For the first time, Australian and international artists have created original works inspired by rare archives and objects from the Dutch East India Company (VOC), dating back to the 17th century.
This exhibition is inspired by a global research project called Mobilising Dutch East India Company Collections for New Global Stories. It connects Australian collections to the VOC's worldwide network and partners with top museums including Rijksmuseum (Netherlands), British Museum (UK), Vasa Museum (Sweden) and Iziko Museums (South Africa).
Through art, this exhibition gives voice to untold stories from a complex colonial past. It's a chance to see history in a new light—and reflect on how these stories still matter today.
Curated by Corioli Souter and Arvi Wattel
Artists: Katie West (Aus), Diyan Achjadi (Can), Beatrice Glow (USA) and Paul Uhlmann (Aus)
