During changeMakers, a community panel consisting of representatives from the Indonesian and/or Indische communities with ties to the Dutch dance field will be present to support the makers’ processes where necessary.
During changeMakers, two context researchers work in parallel with the makers to give the exhibition a socio-cultural and dance-historical perspective.
