It does this through Southeast Asian PhD and stakeholder research in the above Netherlands-based sound collections, and by fostering a transcontinental and inter-Asian curatorial network of academics and source community stakeholders through workshops and summer schools.
With these activities, Re:Sound aims to improve access to Netherlands-based sound collections for Southeast Asian source community researchers and stakeholders.
This improvement emphatically includes options for physical and digital restitution.
Through the research of the next generation of Southeast Asian scholars and stakeholders, Re:Sound moreover employs colonial sound recordings as historical sources, attending to those recorded voices that are not represented in written historical sources and hence run the risk of being “written out” of history.
