Carmody Groarke longlisted for competition to design National Slavery Museum, Amsterdam

Carmody Groarke, together with Steve McQueen, Barend Koolhaas, Studio BLAD, Guillaume Schmidt (Patta & Patta Foundation) and Karin Amatmoekrim, have been longlisted for the competition to design the National Slavery Museum in Amsterdam.

The City of Amsterdam and the National Slavery Museum Foundation are working together to create a museum which will be a meaningful place for reflection, education and connection. A place that does justice to our shared past and offers prospects for future generations.

With the history of transatlantic slavery as its central point of reference, the museum will also address other histories of slavery, such as those of the Indian Ocean region. The National Slavery Museum will tell stories of resistance, resilience and connection.
