came across this photo in the KITLV collection while looking for images of opera houses for my upcoming talk. although it looks harmless, it's actually a manifestation of Dutch cruelty and racism. This was the set for the opera put on by prisoners in the Dutch concentration camp for Indonesian communists and nationalists circa 1928, in Boven-Digoel in #Papua.
