Kick-off in the Netherlands

We have locked and secured our first official book presentation in the Netherlands. It will be held at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam during the ‘grote Suriname-tentoonstelling’ on Saturday December 7th at 14.00. 

In the weeks after, we hope to do several more presentations in the Netherlands.

Book presentation in Paramaribo, Suriname

Friday evening June 28th at 20.00, more then 100 people in theater Unique listen to an indigenous welcome song and dance performed by cultural group Wayono. The singers, musicians and dancers are dressed in bright colored indigenous clothing.

After their welcome, Milton enters the floor and takes the audience on a photographic journey through Suriname showing the day to day life of the indigenous peoples. It was a journey with surprises and amazement for the audience. After his talk, cultural group Wayono took the stage again for some more dancing and music.

After the presentation, people had the opportunity to buy a book which Milton happily signed.

We are in Suriname

From May 18th till July 18th we are in Suriname for delivering the books to the indigenous portrayed and to promote our book there.

So far the sales in Suriname are going well, selling more hard covers then expected but also the soft covers are being well appreciated. We are looking into the possibility to sell some of the photographs online, but we first want to inform those portrayed and ask for permission.

On June 28th we will have our book launch at Theater Unique and invite all who are interested in the book and the topic of the book. Milton will share his experience of travelling to the different villages and his approach as photographer.

We do post regular updates on our Nomadic Life – Facebookpage during our stay in Suriname.

Talking on the radio about Points of Recognition

No television interviews during our Kickstarter Campaign, but Milton was asked to do several radio-interviews.

One was with SuriMama, who follows the publication of our photobook on the foot. You can listen to Milton’s interview after 30:00.

A second long interview was with Iwan Leeuwin, who hosts a four our show several times per week. You can listen to his interview with Milton from 02:10:00 onwards.

And a third one with Inge Pierre from Indigenous radio.
