EXPERIENCE HISTORY WHERE IT HAPPENED
The Museum of National History seeks to show people history in the places where it happened. The museum’s view is that history is everywhere and that the best way to experience it is “on location”. The Museum of National History seeks to make the historical importance of various locations physically and digitally accessible through ‘Plaatsen innl’. Each year, it chooses 50 places according to a changing theme. The list constitutes a route of historical places around the Netherlands.
The Museum of National History asked Vandejong and Fabrique separately to devise concepts for ‘Plaatsen innl’ that would substantively enhance the project. Vandejong came up with the concept ikwashier (iwashere) and received an assignment to further develop the concept with Fabrique. Vandejong focused on content, communication and education, while Fabrique took responsibility for the online development of the concept.
Project becomes a brand We proposed to develop the ‘Plaatsen innl’ project from an annual campaign into a brand that made history accessible. To make history interesting, you have to give people a way to relate to it. Why should they know about this history? What does this event or place mean to them? Creating a brand has enabled us to build a world where history comes to life once more. The past becomes tangible and takes on new meaning. We want people and organisations to be a part of this world through using history to tell their own stories. We devised a brand concept that links places to history, people to historical places, people to each other, and the past to the present.
Person x time x place = x was hier We further developed Ikwashier into xwashier. Xwashier links big history to personal memories. Historical events are also individuals’ experiences. Xwashier reveals the meaning of a place through personal stories. What have people experienced here? X is a variable that is always replaced by the name of an eyewitness, descendent, expert or journalist. Each tells the history of the place through his or her own eyes. What happened there in the past thus becomes personal and relevant once more. Of course, you are x too. I was here. What have you experienced here? You are invited to add your own experience to history.
Signposting, experiencing, linking Each location gets a marker – a unique symbol representing the relationship between that place and its historical significance. The markers are interactive keys to times gone by. Scanning a marker with your smartphone lets you access information about the place. Personal stories told through film, audio, diary extracts and articles take you on a trip back in time. On location and at home, you can take part in assignments and write your own history. For example, you can make up a new couplet
for an old local folk song or take a picture of yourself dressed as a rebel soldier in the Battle of Ane. Participating allows you to look at the environment through different eyes and take part in the “historiography” of the Netherlands. The heart of the project is the website. It brings together all the content and allows you to see what others have experienced and contributed. Xwashier.nl also features links to partners’ collections and activities and other locations.
The New Collection Crackling audio and film fragments, Old Dutch writings and weathered photographs might not be enough to make history appealing. To seduce people into wanting to know more about places, we conceived the Nieuwe Collectie (New Collection). We’ve invited Dutch celebrities, icons, artists and writers to contribute statements on what particular places mean today. The New Collection cuts across artistic disciplines. Nico Dijkshoorn has written a poem about the 1977 Dutch train hostage crisis, Bløf has recorded a song about the Delta Works, and Viktor & Rolf have designed new traditional dress for the former island of Schokland. The New Collection gives the public an extra reason to visit these places. The New Collection fulfils two functions. It serves
as an authentic, valuable and soon-to-be-inextricable part of the xwashere brand. At the same time, it’s a concept rich in opportunities for cultural entrepreneurship. The New Collection creates publicity and offers opportunities for interesting, substantive new alliances. Imagine a regular history item on the TV chat show De Wereld Draait Door or journeys through the landscape of Dutch history in the travel programme 3 Op Reis. But a partnership with Brand beer is also possible. The Brand brewery is an attractive historical location for xwashere. Brand could use the opportunity to reintroduce a historical beer formula in a special edition. This would yield an item in the New Collection, new content for xwashere, and PR and communication for Brand and the Museum of National History.
Vandejong & culture The arts and culture sector plays an important role in developing society’s brain power, creativity and innovation. Cultural locations are the birthplaces of creative ideas outside the existing frames and uncommon views of the future. Cultural institutions have to act as leaders, in their communication as well as elsewhere. Vandejong develops cultural brands with a focus on content, experience and innovation. Our approach is characterised by the way we place ourselves in the
experiential world of the audience as well as that of the creators. We help you to think about products, activities and communication that build bridges between your institution and the public. We create brand concepts people and organisations can be part of, because they can use them to tell their own stories. This gives the brand a connective effect. It ensures genuine involvement by the public and helps with finding new partners and funding.
