The result of a two-year programme of exhibitions, commissioned essays, events and research at the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam (SMBA), Project 1975 is a study of the effects of multicultural society on the visual arts. Taking its name from the year that Suriname officially became independent from The Netherlands, the book offers answers to current social and political questions affecting the visual arts: Is the power position of the stereotypical European white male coloniser less strong these days? How has post-colonial theory contributed to a better understanding of artists from areas such as Suriname?
