Maluku Talks

This year we commemorate the fact that 75 years ago the first Moluccan KNIL soldiers arrived in the Netherlands with their families. The community now numbers around 95,000 Dutch people with Moluccan roots.

Guest Curator Maluku The Hague and the Moluccan Heritage Foundation are curating 4 panel talks at the Central Library, evenings discussing multiple identities, religion and spirituality, adat, pela, recognition, and of course, delicious food.
