🇳🇱 EPISODE 4: Emile Leushuis |

Описание: In the podcast 'Berlage di Nusantara - Mijn Indische Reis' we revisit Dutch architect Berlage's 1923 adventure in the then-Dutch East Indies. Across four 100% (ad-)free episodes, we touch on a wide range of topics, from architecture and colonialism to tourism and cultural identity, with a group of remarkable individuals.

💬 “[Berlage] was really taken by the old, local neighbourhoods where different ethnic groups lived together; the Arabic Quarter, the Chinese Quarter… very romantic, he was truly a man of the nineteenth century. He seems to be a bit of a romantic and an orientalist. He’s very much a tourist in that moment. He was harmed by small things [he saw]; a gate, a courtyard, a laneway… when you look at his drawings, you see a romantic view of these cities, they touched him deeply.”

👤Emile Leushuis wasted no time after receiving his degree in social geography in 1991; he took up a job as a tour guide in Indonesia. It wasn’t long before the archipelago had him hooked: through his many long journeys, he got to know the country intimately and wanted to learn more about what he saw. He learned the language and spent about half of the year in Indonesia. His personal interest in (colonial) heritage got him to special places. Always on the lookout for the stories behind those places, he published a guide with historic city walks in 2011. Two years later he founded Indotracks, a travel agency specialising in trips to Bali, Sumatra and Java but also lesser-visited destinations like Flores and Sulawesi. As a proponent of sustainable and responsible travel, Indotracks relies on family businesses and small-scale hotels in its programming.

🗺️ In 1923, famous Dutch architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage made the journey of his lifetime; he boarded a steamer to the Dutch East Indies, where he spent three months traversing Java, Bali and Sumatra by train, car and boat.

🎙️One hundred years later, we relive Berlage's epic trip. Taking entries from his travel journal ‘Mijn Indische Reis’ as conversation starters, director Raymon Hilkman (@raygisseur_hilkman) talks to renowned and lesser-known creatives, experts and enthusiasts about how Berlage wonders and wanders and what we can learn from his observations and bewilderment in 2023.
