Finally, park Sonsbeek had a playground. And not just any playground: the colorful swings, slide, and merry-go-round, close to the big pond, all orginated from Jakarta. They used to be at a distinctive location, near ruangrupa's original ruru house. On that location, Dutch play sets were installed by multidisciplinary artist Maze de Boer, who's based in Amsterdam.

In Indonesia, playgrounds can often be found in shopping malls or private day care locations, rather than at the corner of a street. Additionally, there are far less rules when it comes to the design and safety of a playground. Would these differences result in the fact that kids would not play at this playground? 'Play is universal', according to Maze. 

It's typically Maze to align his work with the historical background and social context, and/or location. The 'playground swap' referred to the trade between The Netherlands and Indonesia, which started in 1595. Aditionally, Maze was inspired by 'Fabriekskinderen', a novel about child labour in Dutch factories, written by Arnhem-based writer Jacob Cremer in 1863. Eleven years later, child labour became history in The Netherlands.
