Printed fabric

The Saamaka already signed treaties with the Dutch colonial power acknowledging their freedom in 1762. Nevertheless, slavery was not abolished in the entire colony before 1 July 1863. Printed fabrics designed in memory of this event are among the few objects of the collection directly related to the traumatic past of the Saamaka.
