Dutch Exhibit Explores New Muslims’ Life

Offering a deep insight into the lives of Dutch reverts to Islam, a new exhibition is held in the Amsterdam Museum which puts a spotlight on increasing number of reversions and elaborates upon the spiritual process as well as the practical aspects of this change.

“From the start of my research, I was interested in finding ways to communicate my results to a broader audience than solely other academics,” anthropologist Vanessa Vroon-Najem, who planned the exhibition, told OnIslam.net.

“I have been employed at the Amsterdam Museum since 1999 and the timing for an exhibition on conversion to Islam was perfect,” she added.

The idea of the exhibition, held in the Amsterdam Museum from April 11 to June 29, is based on the Ph.D. research of Vroon-Najem who reverted to Islam in 1996.

The exhibition ‘Converted. Becoming Muslim – being Muslim’ was also suggested to offer people better information about the rising religion in the Netherlands, where the number of reverts has exceeded 15,000.

Along with Vroon-Najem research, the exhibit could not see light without the work of Photographer Saskia Aukema.

“My proposal was well received, also because of the beautiful photographs made by Saskia Aukema of reverts to Islam,” Vroon-Najem said.

Alongside the exhibition, a book entitled ‘Converted’, a collaboration with photographer Saskia Aukema, will also be published.

“Aukema convinced me that we should also try to make a book for a broad audience at the same time,” she said.

“To write an accessible book about the subject of conversion to Islam had been my goal for some time, but she pushed me to have it published at the same time that I would defend my dissertation, coinciding with the opening of the exhibition.”
