“Een tentoonstelling over slavernij. Niet als abstract begrip, maar in de vorm van persoonlijke en waargebeurde verhalen. Verhalen uit zowel Brazilië, Suriname en het Caribisch gebied, als uit Zuid-Afrika en Azië”. Dit is hoe het Rijksmuseum zelf de tentoonstelling beschrijft waar wij de afgelopen maanden aan hebben meegewerkt.

Een gevoelig onderwerp. Een periode van 250 jaar die onlosmakelijk onderdeel uitmaakt van onze . Een belangrijk onderwerp. Een onderwerp wat nu zijn eigen krijgt, waar wij de afgelopen maanden aan hebben meegewerkt. Voor ons een fantastische uitdaging om deze tentoonstelling te voorzien van twee .

Tien indrukwekkende verhalen over tien personen uit deze periode. Verteld door onder andere Joy Delima, Remy Bonjasky en Glenn Helberg, die vanuit hun eigen achtergrond, elk een band hebben met één van de tien personen.

We get a lot of questions about 3D audio (or 9D, which is a different name for the same thing 😀). A couple of years ago we created this short movie in which our Ad van Dongen explains the complete thing in a nutshell. Check it out, all you 3D, 8D, 9D, binaural lovers! And don't forget to put on your headphones.

To give the the followers of I amsterdam a little taste of our city, we made a 3D audio tour that sonically teleports you to different spots. Showcasing what the different neighbourhoods of Amsterdam have to offer.

Right now we're waiting for better days. Until then, put on your and immerse yourself in the typically sounds from the comfort of your home.

Aflevering 7 van Verborgen Verhalen is af, en hij staat voor je klaar in je favoriete podcast app!

Wat klopt er van de talloze verhalen over de hellehond? Het dier met vuurspuwende ogen zou ronddwalen in de Achterhoek, in de buurt van het dorp De Lutte. Als je het beest ontmoet, zullen mensen in je omgeving worden getroffen door onheil. En dat is meer dan alleen een sterk verhaal, zo ontdekt onze Pascal tijdens zijn zoektocht naar dit mythische dier.
