The executions at De Punt

Graduation project

As part of my graduation project at WdKA in Rotterdam, I designed a poster series highlighting a tragic moment in Dutch history that was silenced for many years. The posters tell the story of the arrival of thousands of Moluccans in the Netherlands in 1951 as a temporary solution to the political issues in Indonesia. Despite the plan for a quick return to the Moluccas, the Moluccans ended up staying in separate accommodations in the Netherlands, with most still residing there today, spanning four generations.
