The Tapestry of Indonesian-Dutch heritage
Bradwolff Projects presents “Woven Stories”, an exhibition exploring Indonesian-Dutch heritage through contemporary art.
At its core lies the rich and complex history of the Indonesian-Dutch community—shaped by colonial entanglements, cultural exchange, and generational memory. “Woven Stories” unites visual artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners whose work engages with themes of identity, migration, belonging, and tradition. Through film, photography, batik, installation, and language-based art, the participating artists reflect on layered personal and historical narratives. Their works question what it means to inherit a hybrid identity and how past and present intersect in intimate and political ways.
The exhibition also marks the 10th anniversary of Bradwolff Projects, an art space rooted in Amsterdam Oost. For a decade, it has been a platform for artists exploring cultural memory, intangible heritage, and underrepresented perspectives in contemporary art.
Sunday 20 July, 16:00–20:00
GOJANG LIDAH: The Sway of the Tongue
An art dinner with Gracia Khouw centred on her “Atjar Table Cloth” and “Glossary Booklet”—a tablecloth printed with 213 Dutch words from Indo-Indonesian cuisine. Guests from art, language, food, and history gather around the table for a sensory reflection on cultural memory. Between courses, stories are shared and words exchanged.
