October 8, 2020
Botanische tuinen zijn lang enkel bestudeerd vanwege hun natuurwetenschappelijke belang voor het Westen. Westerse wetenschappers en hun kennis vormden het middelpunt van deze studies. In dit webinar proberen we met een ander, en minder eurocentrisch, perspectief naar dergelijke tuinen in Indonesië, Zuid-Afrika en Suriname te kijken.

’s Lands Plantentuin

Een van de eerste haltes op de route van het koninklijk staatsbezoek aan Indonesië was het presidentieel paleis in Bogor, hier beter bekend als Paleis Buitenzorg, naar de naam van de plek onder Nederlands bewind. Op het landgoed bevindt zich tevens een beroemde botanische tuin, aangelegd door de Duitse botanicus Reinwardt, die voor Nederland planten en zaden uit de hele archipel verzamelde, met als doel de teelt. ’s Lands Plantentuin heet nu Kebun Raya Bogor.
