Sambo

Sambo is a black kid and his parents are called Mambo and Jambo. While out walking, Sambo encounters hungry tigers, and he gives his belongings so that they will not eat him. The tigers get into a fight and turn into ghee. Sambo recovers his clothes, goes home, and his father later collects the ghee, which his mother uses to make pancakes.

Note: This edition was part of the famous Dutch children's books collection called "Gouden Boekjes". It was first released in Dutch in 1953 by famous Dutch children's book author Annie M. G. Schmidt.

Rubinstein

Facing Blackness is a multimedia exhibition that takes the public through the obscure history of portraying Black people from the colonial period to contemporary society. Using unique archive material and visual art, we show how anti-black racism became part of the Dutch 'cultural archive' and our everyday ideas, customs and utensils. On the other hand, the exhibition shows how there has always been 'everyday resistance' to various forms of racism and how Black people themselves have given and continue to give meaning to their culture and identity.
