MEET THE ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE: Monique Dikmoet from Skyline Foundation

Monique Dikmoet MANIFEST Artistic Journey

Monique Dikmoet

I, Monique Dikmoet, work and create at the intersection of storytelling and technology. Being a writer, researcher, creative producer for film and theatre. I primarily focus on stories and subjects with urgency, that are actual and call for a need to change, that bring awareness and where I always and always make use of my own basic needs, interests and background. By doing so I create feature films, a hiphop opera, an incubator for writers of color in Rotterdam and 2 VR experiences. This is the focus for now. More are yet to come!

Within the MANIFEST Artistic Journey, Monique will work together with Tyrone Rickey-Lee ”TyLee” and Jaqueline Zamora as a member of the Skyline Foundation. 

As a creator in the arts of film and theatre I take a deep dive into my own history as a descendant from former enslaved and slave owners in the Dutch colony Suriname. Using my background as a source to create and at the same time bring awareness of who we are as a people. We all share the same history.
