International Heritage Cooperation: Matching Fund - open call Slavery Memorial Year

Internationale Erfgoedsamenwerking: Matchingfonds - open oproep Herdenkingsjaar Slavernijverleden

Funding for projects that highlight the history of slavery and indentured labour in former Dutch colonies and trading posts

DutchCulture | International Heritage Cooperation launches an additional open call for the Matching Fund to support projects that highlight the history of slavery and indentured labour in former Dutch colonies and trading posts, and bring these stories to the attention of a broad audience.

During the Slavery Memorial Year (2023-2024), the Kingdom of the Netherlands reflected on its painful history of slavery in former Dutch colonies and the lasting impact it has today. Although the Slavery Memorial Year officially ended on July 1st, the recognition and consequences of this history remain important in the international heritage field. Therefore this additional funding round is launched.

Projects from all cultural expressions are eligible, such as exhibitions, international events, theatre performances, podcasts, etc. Book publications and public programming connected to documentary films are also eligible, but restricted funding is available for these projects
