@SamoraMakonnan Thanks!

This project wasn't initiated by the museum but we agree 1000% with your suggestions! https://t.co/9dcxl42keb

[Samora Makonnan @SamoraMakonnan]

@Tropenmuseum nice initiative #DecolonizeTheMuseum but you need structural change: hiring policy? Critical curators? Critical focus groups?

"The triangular trade between Suriname, the Antilles and NL." No mention of exploitation. #DecolonizeTheMuseum https://t.co/VYc7QIJKuE
