A docuportrait by documentary photographer and filmmaker Stacii Samidin will be on display on the ground floor of the Nederlands Fotomuseum from 6 October to 1 November 2026. For '75 years of Moluccans in the Netherlands' Samidin portrays 112 Moluccans from different generations, each with their own story, memory and relationship to Maluku.
During the shoot, Samidin asks the question: “What comes to mind when you think of Maluku?” The personal answers together form the story of the film. In this way, the documentary portrait brings different Moluccan identities and experiences into view, ruminating on what Maluku means today.
For the project, Samidin works together with Wereldmuseum Rotterdam, Molukkers aan de Maas and Wereldlab Nijmegen. The film duration is 11 minutes and can be viewed free of charge in the entrance area of the Nederlands Fotomuseum.
