An Afternoon with the Extended Family

Extended Family Wereldmuseum is an arts and creativity based, collaborative, co-production project whose goal is to reimagine more equitable worlds through arts/culture based practices in relation to the museum’s collections and history. The project brings the museum, its history and its collection, together with diverse creative practitioners from the city along common grounds, working with shared themes. Together we explore the multiple ways in which people find meaning in the city, deliberating on notions of identity and belonging, creativity and community.

On Sunday the 15^th of December, we celebrate the start of this collaboration with a group of innovative, entrepreneurial and creative people. The Wereldmuseum and the Research Center for Material Culture share their visions for more equitable futures and together we join forces to develop programs. As such, we strengthen each other and bring an important added value to the World City that is Rotterdam.

If we’ve made you curious, come join us this Sunday at the Wereldmuseum and be inspired by the creative force of the Extended Family!
