Keti Koti in the Stedelijk
Events — Jul 1, 2024
Keti Koti means 'Broken Chains'. It symbolizes the abolition of slavery in the former colonies of Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles. The Stedelijk wants to contribute to an equal society. During Keti Koti, we reflect on the past and look forward to the future, celebrating freedom, equality and connectedness. We do this through additional programming in our Entrance Area and in the collection.

Workshop ‘1873-Button’
11.00 am — 5.00 pm, walk-in
Many people wear a '1873' button during Keti Koti. Although slavery was formally abolished in 1863, formerly enslaved people were still forced to work for ten years. Come into the Stedelijk and make your own 1873 button.
