Chains and tapes tells about the shared history of Suriname and the Netherlands on the basis of objects from the Rijksmuseum collection: views of sugar and coffee plantations and luxury glasses to drink on the prosperity of owning them. Maps of Suriname showing the conquests on nature or the battle against the Maroons. Photos of the extraction of gold and bauxite that show the later exploitation of the land. Chains and tapes show that these objects - and many others - also tell the story of the slave or contract workers. This is how the Rijksmuseum collection acquires a new meaning. The often personal stories behind the objects are also about the Surinamese who came to the Netherlands in the course of the centuries. Who were they and what brought them here?
