Last May, the Regiegroep Nationaal Trans-Atlantisch Slavernijmuseum (NTASM) presented the exploration 'With the power of ancestors' commissioned by the City of Amsterdam. This outlines what the museum facility should meet. The joint committee has been asked to advise on this exploration based on expertise and knowledge from the museum and cultural field.
In addition to Franc Weerwind, Marieke van Bommel, Nancy Jouwe, Imara Limon, Leroy Niemel, John Olivieira (also a member of the Council for Culture), Matthias van Rossum and Katja Weitering (also a board member of the Amsterdam Arts Council) sit on the committee.
