About Nyanga

A bridge between past and present.

Nyanga Weder is a cultural creator and specialist in Afro-Surinamese culture, dance and education. Her personal background and family history — influenced by both Maroon culture and Suriname’s plantation culture — gave her a strong connection to heritage and identity. From primary school onwards, she engaged with Surinamese culture and sought to give it a place throughout her education.
