Welcome to our Wasjikwa Foundation!

the house for indigenous heritage from Suriname!

WORKSHOPS

We invite you to participate in our indigenous workshops including bead weaving, traditional costume and hammock making. In addition to knowledge transfer, we also find being together and sharing stories important.

PUBLICATIONS

We publish a quarterly magazine with themes about indigenous culture from Suriname. We are also committed to publications for and by Surinamese indigenous people. With this we want to raise awareness of the original inhabitants and share their history, culture and knowledge in the Netherlands.

COOPERATION

Wasjikwa means "Our House" in the Lokono Djang. This means that everyone is welcome with us. We are open to bundling and knowledge exchange. Contact us for an introduction and further information!
