The Cultural Story
The Kora-Kora is the traditional war canoe of the Maluku Islands, a masterclass in indigenous maritime engineering. Historically used for trade, defense, and ceremony, it required dozens of rowers moving in perfect unison to the rhythmic beat of the tifa drum. This emblem captures that spirit of collective strength and resilience. Paired with the year 1951—the year thousands of Moluccan KNIL soldiers and their families were brought to the Netherlands by sea—the Kora-Kora transforms from an ancient vessel into a symbol of the ultimate journey. It stands as a proud testament to a community that navigated unimaginable displacement, yet continued to row forward together, preserving their identity across oceans and generations.
