Recently I had a good conversation with Malou Holshuijsen en Neal Petersen for their great podcast series Radio Pedis. We talked about my work Noken yas and the exhibition in the Fotomuseum Den Haag.

“In this episode, we speak with documentary filmmaker and photographer Maarten Tromp (1980). For Noken yas, he follows the residents of the village of Nakias in Papua, a community whose way of life is threatened by large-scale deforestation. But Maarten also looks at himself: his great-grandfather led a colonial expedition in New Guinea in 1936. We talk about the colonial legacy and what it means to face your own family history.”
