About the photo donor Angeline van Achterberg (1949-2020)[edit]

Biography[edit]

Angeline van Achterberg (4 April 1949 - 19 February 2020) first trained as a kindergarten schoolteacher, but later she studied art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.^[1][2] Her travels then inspired her to study social anthropology (Dutch: culturele antropologie) at the University of Amsterdam from 1979 until 1987.^[3]

She wanted to do field work with the Tuareg people in North Africa and ended up in Tamanrasset, South Algeria. The master's thesis Van geiten tot goud (From goats to gold) for her graduation in anthropology in 1988 studied the situation of Tuareg women there. She married a Tuareg husband and remained in the Sahara up to 1991, collecting jewelry, beads, leather and ceramics.

As a ceramicist herself, she created paper ceramic bowls and vases, which are now in the collection of the CODA museum at Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.^[4][5] Angeline van Achterberg was a founding member of the Sahara Sociëteit Nederland (Dutch Sahara Society) and chair person of its Board (1992-2006).^[3]

From 1994 up to 2008 she worked at the Nederlands Centrum voor Inheemse Volken (NCIV, Dutch center for indigenous peoples) in Amsterdam as a contact person for Gender and Africa and a coordinator for the small grants fund.^[3] From 2006 to 2009 she studied at Utrecht University and obtained a Master's degree in Applied ethics (Dutch: toegepaste ethiek) with a thesis on moral dilemmas of aid to developing countries.^[3]
