In collaboration with the Boekman Foundation, DutchCulture presents a series of three podcasts in which researchers and other experts discuss 50 years of Dutch international cultural policy. Not only do we look back on the past, but we also look towards future developments. (All podcasts are Dutch spoken)

In podcast #1: Retrospective Mirthe Frese speaks with researcher Toine Minnaert and writer Henk Pröpper about the beginning of Dutch international cultural policy, changes of the past few decennia and the present-day situation.

In podcast #2: Entangled Heritage historian and senior researcher at the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies Esther Captain and artist and curator Richard Kofi talk about international heritage. How must we deal with the paradox of colonial heritage? Why is the term ‘shared heritage’ problematic? What are the perspectives from various academics, curators and artists on this matter? 

In podcast #3 Culture for Everyone Conrad van Tiggelen, director Strategy and Branding at The Netherlands Board for Tourism & Conventions, and Yassine Boussaid, director of Theatre the Meervaart, speak about the economic advances and intrinsic value of international cultural exchange. An important question is: how do you engage visitor not only internationally, but also within a region or city?
