Foam 3h: Finn Maätita and Jerrold Saija
Tones of the Ecotone
21 March – 11 June 2025

Foam 3h presents Tones of the Ecotone, a collaborative exhibition by Finn Maätita (NL, 1998) and Jerrold Saija (NL, 1996). The exhibition honors the ‘ecotone’ – the transition zone between two ecosystems, such as between land and water – and connects this with the artists' Moluccan roots and the diaspora. The central focus is on the sago palm, the basis of the staple diet on the Moluccas, as a symbol of Moluccan ecological and physical omnipresence. 

Join us for the opening
The exhibition will be opened on Thursday 20 March from 17:30 with a live performance by tifa group Keku Tiha and a Q&A between guest curator Zippora Elders Tahalele and the artists. To schedule an interview with the artists or curator, please email press...@foam.org

Augusta Curiel
Yere Mi Sten
23 May – 6 November 2025

Augusta Curiel (1873-1937) was one of Suriname's first women photographers, running a highly successful photography studio together with her sister Anna. The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of Curiel’s work, featuring over 100 images that offer a rich glimpse into Surinamese society in the early twentieth century. Augusta Curiel - Yere Mi Sten (translated from Sranan Tongo as Hear My Voice) highlights the multifaceted practice and distinctive role of Anna and Augusta Curiel in Surinamese society during the Dutch colonial period. The exhibition coincides with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Suriname’s independence.
