On 1 July it’s Keti Koti, the day that we commemorate the abolition of Dutch transatlantic slave trade in July 1873. Keti Koti means ‘broken chains’ in Surinamese. In co-creation with SUBEST Delft (Surinamese association), Studium Generale and KIP Republic (founder of Free Heri Heri For All) we are hosting a festive event on the evening prior to the official celebrations. We invite you to learn more about the history and celebrate freedom with a special meal, good conversations and lovely company!
In remembrance of the enslaved and the history we connect with the present day by organizing ‘The Flavour of Freedom: 150 years of Keti Koti with Surinamese Delicacies’. In co-creation with Free Heri Heri For All you can learn to make Heri Heri in our Freetown Kitchen. Together with a fun group of people, we will cook Heri Heri followed by the serving of this significant dish with all those invited to celebrate Keti Koti with us.
We will start off with an introduction and short talk about Keti Koti, the slave trade, Suriname (the Dutch Caribbean) and the Netherlands. After this, you can continue the conversation over dinner with your table companions. We close this special event with some drinks and music.
Will you come celebrate with us?!
