In 1972 verlieten de grootouders van Tyler &#38;amp; Sebastian hun geboorteland Suriname. Ruim 50 jaar later namen de broers opa &#38;amp; oma mee terug naar de geboortegrond, opzoek naar de plekken van herinnering. 
In 1972, Tyler &#38;amp; Sebastian's grandparents left their birth country of Suriname. Over 50 years later, the brothers took Grandpa &#38;amp; Grandma back to the natal soil in search of the places of memory

	Contractarbeiders uit Java. 
Omringt door stemmen van lotgenoten, Jaji. Doorstonden donkere wolken, golven, stromen. Doorstonden de drang om te springen. Doorstonden de vaart Doorstonden lokken met terug komen en wortelde in haar.&#38;nbsp;---
Indentured workers from Java.
Surrounded by the whispers of kindred souls, Jaji. Faced stormy clouds, unyielding waves, and relentless currents. Resisted the call to leap. Persisted through the journey. Resisted the alluring pull to retreat and took root within her .

In de velden, in het geloven en het vergeten van daar. In de tanden van Amsterdam. Wanneer ik wandel langs het pad. &#38;nbsp;Door glimpsen van wat er was. Ben ik even met mijn opa uit de foto’s.
Zou hij dit met dezelfde kleuren zien?

In the fields, in the believing and the forgetting of thereIn Amsterdam’s teeth as I walk along the way. Through glimpses of what once was. I am briefly with my grandpa from the photos.
Would he see it in the same hues?

Zwemmen zijn kinderen nog in donker water? Voelt hij nog dezelfde sporen onder treinen. Ziet hij de emmers weer wanneer oompie vraagt hoe hij komt aan water? 

Of is hij dit los gaan laten?
---
Are his children still swimming in waters so dark? Does he still feel the tracks beneath trains? Does he see the buckets once more, when oompie asks how he gets water?

	Verdronken in woorden met een zoete rand. 


Soft boven water, hier geen borden met Berkat. Want voor de monden ligt een blad en de woorden op het hart. Zwijgen in uitgesproken smaken 


Dus neem een hap, adem. 


Even terug naar de kalmte voor ik luister. Verhalen als tranen met de regen terug naar de grond. 


Maar wij, wij niet van suiker.&#38;nbsp;
---
Drowned in words, in dark water’s sheen,


With a sweet edge, where past and present convene. Soft above water, no plates for Berkat, no relief, as before their mouths lies a leaf. The words on the heart are silent in distinct flavours 


So take a bite, and catch your breath. 


Back to the calm before I listen. Stories, like tears, return with the rain to the ground.


But we, we are not made of sugar

De Gesuikerde Onderneming
2023 – lopend
In 1972 verlieten de Javaanse grootouders van Sebastian en Tyler Koudijzer hun geboorteland Suriname. Meer dan vijftig jaar later namen de broers Koudijzer hun grootouders mee terug om belangrijke locaties uit de familiegeschiedenis op te zoeken, zoals de plek waar oma Watinie opgroeide, of de kerk waar zij en opa Iksan tot christen werden gedoopt. Samen reisden ze terug naar Colakreek, waar in de jaren zestig het eerste afspraakje van de grootouders plaatsvond en waar ze jaren later ook trouwden. Ook bezocht de familie de verlaten raffinaderij van suikeronderneming Mariënburg, waar Iksan ooit werkte als opzichter. Het bedrijf werd kort na de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname in 1975 gesloten; de plek is nu overwoekerd door bomen en planten. 

De Gesuikerde Onderneming zoomt in op plekken waar particuliere verhalen zich verstrengelen met narratieven over een koloniaal verleden. De grootouders van de kunstenaars zijn zelf directe nakomelingen van contractarbeiders, en de reizen van de familie over de wereld – in dit geval van Java naar Suriname naar Nederland – kregen vorm door bredere koloniale contexten. Onder koloniaal bestuur werd het dagelijks leven voor veel burgers – of ze naar school, werk of de kerk gingen – gekarakteriseerd door een geërfde disbalans in macht. 
Naast het opnieuw bezoeken van fysieke ruimtes en locaties, onderzoekt het project ook fotografisch territorium zoals private familiearchieven of officiële documenten in de kast van het Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde. De beelden die samen De Gesuikerde Onderneming vormen, representeren een archief-onder-constructie en een poging om elementen van een ontwrichte geschiedenis bij elkaar te puzzelen.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;
	The Sugarcoated Venture

2023 – ongoing

In 1972, Sebastian and Tyler Koudijzer’s Javanese grandparents left their country of birth: Suriname. More than 50 years on, the Koudijzer brothers took their grandparents back, seeking out important sites of memory – like the place where Grandma Watinie grew up, or the church where she and Grandpa Iksan were baptised into Christianity. Together, they journeyed to Cola Creek, where the grandparents’ first date took place in the 1960s, and where they got married years later. The family also visited the abandoned refinery of the Mariënburg Sugar Company, where Iksan once came to work as an overseer. Now overgrown by trees and plants, the site was closed shortly after Suriname gained independence in 1975.

The Sugarcoated Venture hones in on spaces where private stories intertwine with narratives of a colonial past. The artists’ grandparents are themselves the direct descendants of indentured labourers, whilst their familial movements across the world – in this case, from Java to Suriname to the Netherlands – were shaped by broader colonial contexts. Under colonial rule, daily life for many citizens – whether going to school, work or church – was characterised by innate imbalances of power.

As well as revisiting physical spaces and locations, the project also examines photographic territory – be it private family archives, or the official records that sit on the shelves of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies. The images that make up The Sugarcoated Venture represent an archive under construction, and an attempt to puzzle together elements of a dislocated history.

As a child I was always fascinated about the dagger on the wall at my grandparents’ place. There was something mysterious about it, something dark. If I would look at it long enough, the snake on the handle would stare back at me all evening. It was said that the dagger could be alive. 


When I visited my grandparents a few years ago, we spoke about the past in relation to the Javanese culture. When talking about batik fabrics, my grandfather jumped out of his chair and started changing upstairs. In his Javanese outfit he came down and asked me to take a picture. “Wait!” Grandpa, said suddenly. He quickly went back upstairs and came back with the blade. I asked him, “What is that thing?” To which he responded, “the Keris”.


The Keris started to interest me more and more. A year later I asked my grandfather if I could photograph the object again. To my surprise, my grandfather said he threw it away. “Why?!” I wondered. He told me that the church leader had said that the keris is not compatible with the Christian faith. Not even as a decoration, it could possibly have dark powers. In disbelief I asked him, “But where did you throw it away?” “Roteb!*” He answered quickly. 


*Roteb is a waste processing company.

The Strange Familiar (2021)

Two years ago my grandfather renounced his keris on the advice of the church leader, because he was told that Christianity could not go together with this Javanese mystic blade. Therefore I decided to find a keris myself.

During my search, I meet a dukun, a traditional Javanese healer. From the very first moment, this feels like home. Many objects and symbolism that I come across in this place gives me a feeling of nostalgia, originating from my childhood. As a child, I spent half of my time with my Javanese grandparents. They took me along to all kinds of celebrations of family and friends. In this way, the Javanese culture was always a reality for me, something that is slowly disappearing around me in last few years. When I ask my mother why her generation is not that interested in their Javanese roots, I got the answer:


Probably because that history is not so beautiful.


Therefore I choose to tell a story which focuses on my search for community and belonging. I want to rediscover an abandoned heritage in hopes to connect with my sacred past. It is a story I actually want to tell the next generation, without all the tragedy and suffering. By performing rituals according to Kejawen, such as a spiritual cleansing, I find peace and acceptance in where I come from and who we are.

	Kampong Tori&#38;nbsp;[research]




	
Kampong Tori (ongoing)

De broers Tyler en Sebastian genieten wekelijks van de heerlijke Javaans-Surinaamse gerechten van oma waarmee ze zijn opgegroeid. In de zomer brengen ze een groot gedeelte van hun vrije tijd door met hun gepensioneerde grootouders in de tuingemeenschap de Beukhoeve in Rotterdam. De laatste jaren heeft hier als het ware een nieuwe kampong gevormd. Zoals opa het beschrijft is dat een wijk maar dan op zijn Javaans met hutjes en tuintjes, waar iedereen elkaar bezoekt, zonder afspraak, met lekker eten, met een deel van oogst en zaadjes om te planten.

Om oma’s kookkunsten in ere te houden, gaan de broers samen met haar koken. Met een liefdevolle nieuwsgierigheid vragen zij naar het ontstaan van de gerechten die zij maakt. De nostalgische werking van geur en smaak roept vele herinneringen op en stukje voor stukje onthullen deze gerechten een geschiedenis waar eerder nauwelijks over werd gepraat. Tijdens het koken wordt de geschiedenis behapbaar. Tijdens het eten, zijn we trots. 

Dit is het onderste uit de pan herboren.

On the Other Side (2019)
4G connected

‘There is hope on the other side of the sea’ is what my great-grandfather was promised when he migrated from Java to Surinam. There is hope on the other side of sea is what my grandfather must have thought when he migrated from Surinam to the Netherlands. My grandfather obtained his agricultural degree at an early age. Therefore he quickly found a job in vibrant Mariënburg, Surinam. After the Nederlandsche Handel Maatschappij sold the plantations and refineries in 1964, the economy of this town started to drop rapidly. There was a scarcity in labor, whereupon many people tried to find their luck in the Netherlands. 

My grandparents are now enjoying their retirement together. In summer they prefer to be in their garden in Slinge, Rotterdam. In winter they like to travel to the sun. This year they had to stay in the Netherlands. Yet, the smartphone makes them able to be connected with their family from all over the globe. It’s strange to realize that technology actually does make us closer.

Het is een reflectie op de processen van identiteitsvorming en het creëren van een thuis voor jezelf in de diaspora.With Grounding – Stories of Migration, FOTODOK ✕ BredaPhoto Festival present works by seven artists that tell stories of first generation migration – those who came to the Netherlands by choice or by circumstance. These works reflect processes of diasporic homemaking and identity formation: both ever-evolving pursuits for the uprooted.

	Gastcollectioneurs: Verhalen van de stad - Bibliotheek Rotterdam
02.09.2024 - november 2024Hoe komt het dat Javanen in Suriname zijn beland? Voor het antwoord op deze vraag doken kunstenaars Sebastian en Tyler Koudijzer in hun familiegeschiedenis. De broers reisden voor hun project De Gesuikerde Onderneming naar Suriname. Daar bezochten ze de plek waar hun overgrootouders vanuit Java heen trokken om als contractarbeider te werken en later ook een gezin stichtten. Als gastcollectioneurs voor Verhalen van de Stad willen Sebastian en Tyler een licht schijnen op de verhalen van Javaans-Surinaamse contractarbeiders en hun nazaten. De kunstenaars leggen in hun collectie de nadruk niet op informatieve boeken, maar juist op romans, verhalenboeken en poëziebundels. Zo laten ze zien hoe veel kennis en informatie er besloten ligt in persoonlijke verhalen en -geschiedenissen.Check het interview -&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp;bibliotheek.rotterdam.nl/

	Expositie: Hitching A Ride With Foreigners Everywhere - ExpoCafé Zamen, Amsterdam

09.08.2024 - 22.09.2024

This exhibition is linked to the theme of the 2024 Venice Biennale, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, "Foreigners Everywhere.": It explores the idea that everyone, regardless of location, is both surrounded by and is intrinsically a foreigner, highlighting the universality of the outsider experience.

The Strange Familiar in Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam
26.11.2022 - 10.04.2023

The group exhibition When Things Are Beings reveals the power of objects and sculptures in a range of visual languages. Bridging the material and immaterial realms, the projects forge connections between ideas and objects, spirituality and materiality, and link social issues to tangible phenomenon.

	A day out of 1000 dreams in Concordia, Enschede
13.05.2022 - 15.07.2022

It has been 50 years since my Javanese family migrated from Suriname to the Netherlands. In the archives of my grandfather &#38;amp; grandmother, I found material from the first year in the Netherlands on damaged DVDs. The film 'A day out of 1000 dreams' is set in 1972/'73 and shows the migration and several 'first times' ; such as the first time to the zoo, to school, to the fair and the vacation to Paris. When I first saw the material, I was astonished at the joy and zest for life I saw my family experiencing. This is in fact in stark contrast to Dutch public archives, which are full of Javanese people but rarely depicted in their strength. With that, I want to emphasize the importance of proper representation and having role models.

The short film without audio (18 mins) can be seen 24/7 through the window of Concordia

	The Strange Familiar at TR Citizens: Dewi in Theater Rotterdam13.11.2021
During Dewi's Citizens evening, the program makers delve into her heritage. Her parents did not tell much about their arrival in the Netherlands. In a video in which they make saoto soup together, Dewi discusses this with her mother for the first time. 
The Strange Familiar is programmed in the foyer.

As a child, I was surrounded by 2 great-grandmothers, 2 grandfathers, 3 grandmothers and countless uncles and aunts from my Javanese-Surinamese side of the family alone. My work is an attempt to bring the disappearing traditions, values and spirituality back into my own reality. By bringing together different materials and media, I interweave pieces of dislocated history, characterized by an imbalance of power, with the present. The camera functions as an exploration tool, looking for the nostalgic feelings like Gotong Royong*.

* Gotong = carrying a burden using one’s shoulder, Royong = together or communally.


Together with my brother, I form the artistic duo: Tyler &#38;amp; Sebastian Koudijzer. Where my brother specialises in the written and spoken word. Our most recent project is De Gesuikerde Onderneming. This multimedia has been exhibited in various places as BredaPhoto x FOTODOK and will go in premiere as a theatreplay from September 2025.&#38;nbsp;
