The dish heri heri is a dish with a backstory. Nowadays it is known as a delicacy, but heri heri was originally made and eaten by enslaved people on plantations during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The one-pan dish means 'healing' and uses cassava, sweet potato, bakkeljauw and banana as its base. At the Nieuwe Instituut the heri heri is prepared by chef Manuela Goncalves Tavares and her team of Het Nieuwe Café.

You can pick up a plate with heri heri at the terrace next to Het Nieuwe Café between 3-5.30 pm. During this afternoon, DJ Cutnice will also be present on the terrace to play a set.

In the mini documentary Dancing on the Shoulders of Giants, Hiphophuis searches for and discovers the sacred grounds that were vital to the hip-hop scene in the 1980s and 1990s. Curator and choreographer Sheree Lenting embarks on this journey with individuals such as Paulo Nunes, Alida Dors, and Winston Bergwijn. Although many of these places no longer exist, the stories bring their spirit back to life.

The mini documentary will premiere during this event at the Nieuwe Instituut. The first screening will take place at 3 pm. The second screening is scheduled at 5 pm.

Dive deep into the rich history of the Afro-Brazilian martial arts Capoeira during this workshop by Juggling Percussion. We delve deep into the historic meaning of this art form. The roots of Capoeira go back to the battle of enslaved Africans in Brazil, who in an ingenious way disguised their combat training as a fascinating dance.

This workshop takes place at 3.45-4.15 pm and 4.45-5.15 pm.

The angisa, a traditional Surinamese headgear, is more than an accessory. The headgear functioned as a communication tool: depending on the structure of the folds and the wear you could display a message. Angisa-expert Carlien Macnack will give a workshop folding angisa and share more about the art and the ways of wearing this headscarf. During the workshop families and children can learn the different folding and binding methods of the anyisa. Make one out of paper or starched cardboard and wear it during Keti Koti!

This workshop takes place at 3-4 pm and 4.15-5.15 pm.

During this rhythmic workshop Kenneth Olbina takes you on a journey through the orgin of Tambú. Tambú is a dance, an instrument and a music genre from Curaçao, which was used by enslaved people as a secret languague through which they could communicate. Join this workshop to learn more about its history and this form of language spoken with the body.

This workshop will take place at 4.15-4.45 pm and at 5.15-5.45 pm.

Cultural entrepreneurs Ira and Ayra Kip decided in 2020 to serve the symbolic dish heri heri at special gatherings they wanted to organise, inspired in part by the global Black Lives Matter movement, in memory of their ancestors and to commemorate the abolition of slavery by the Kingdom of the Netherlands on 1 July 1863. 1 July is the day known as Keti Koti, Emancipation Day or Dia di Lucha pa Libertat in different parts of the former kingdom of the Netherlands.

The Kip sisters see cooking and eating together as a way to engage in conversation, make connections and raise awareness and understanding. Since the first edition, more and more chefs (well-known and less well-known) have become involved in the initiative, resulting in the 'table' of Amsterdam to expand to several cities in the Netherlands.

The afternoon is organised in collaboration with Hiphophuis and Het Nieuwe Café.
