Books, Art & Photography

In collaboration with several publisher’s and artists we have put together three exhibitions and one illustration made specifically for our conference. On this page we would like to highlight them.

EuroSEAS 2024 illustration

We worked together with UvA alumni Floortje van Osch, who is a graphic designer, illustrator and web designer. We asked her to design an illustration for us that represented the 13th edition of the EuroSEAS conference, held in Amsterdam. We are amazed at how Floortje managed to incorporate so many different elements into one beautiful cohesive illustration, and are proud to be able to showcase this on our website and during our conference! Check out Floortje’s website.

Publishers

This year we have another wonderful lineup of publishers from all around the world. They will be situated on the first floor, visible from the A-hall entrance, together with the other two exhibitions.

Curious about which publishers will be at the conference? Please refer to the publishers page.

Beyond Walls art exhibition

Art collective Beyond Walls will host an exhibition during the conference on the round “island” overlooking the Roeterseiland Campus A-hall, the entrance of the EuroSEAS conference. The afterlives of colonialism still shape everyday life. What does (pre)colonial heritage mean in today’s world? Beyond Walls explores this question through research, storytelling and art.

Beyond Walls is a collective of independent researchers, curators and visual storytellers. They initiate and participate in collaborative projects that structurally embed community-centered voices: from exhibitions, community-based projects, international collaborations and documentaries, to research, artistic interventions, and advice.

Two members of the collective and co-founders Suzanne Rastovac and Jeremy Flohr will be present during the conference.

Photo exhibition Mia Tengco

We are proud to showcase 10 photos from our own UvA applied anthropology student Mia Tengco. This selection of photographs is part of her applied anthropology master’s thesis, entitled “But what about us fishers?”: Coastal Development, Conflict, and Contestation in Manila Bay. This thesis centers on the lives of small-scale fishers from a coastal village in Bacoor City, Philippines, who face the permanent loss of access to the waters of Manila Bay due to massive coastal development and land reclamation projects.

Mia was born and raised in Manila, Philippines, and now resides in The Hague, Netherlands. Driven by a genuine interest in people, she views photography as a powerful means to connect, find common ground, and tell compelling stories.
