De Bijlmer gezien door kinderogen
(The Bijlmer as seen through the eyes of children)
On March 22nd, a very special exhibition will be opened in the context of 50 years of Bijlmer. Pupils from the Brede School Zuidoost have been working together for several weeks on artworks inspired by their environment. Films, works of wood, textiles, collages and graffiti works that they made can be seen in Heesterveld 75 from 22 March.
As an art teacher, Kunstjuf on Facebook, I worked on a collage project with children from 5-9 years old at As-Soeffah, an islamic primary school in Amsterdam Zuidoost. The 14,5 meters long collage story they created will be on show here, and is also to be seen on a youtube video I made with two of the pupils.
The exhibition will be opened on March 22nd and will be on show until 29 March 29th, during the opening hours of Heesterveld 75. The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between CBK Zuidoost and PPOZO (Project Office Primary Education Southeast).
From April 1 the objects mad by the students – together with the work of other talents from Zuidoost – can be seen at museum OSCAM on Bijlmerdreef 1289.

Poetry Festival & Poetry Book

Last weekend there the Laren poetry Festival took place, with the presentation of the poetry bundle ‘Soms gaan letters’ (Sometimes letters go). This is the second poetry book in the series Kortweg to which I contributed (scroll down for the two original poems, I adapted them just a little bit for the book), containing miniature poems of up to 9 lines (including white lines). The participating poets each read their two poems and had a chat with poet-presenter-organizer Jos van Hest. We had a wonderful evening. The bundle can be ordered for € 5 by poet and organizer Gerard Beentjes.

The One Minutes Series: Public Justice
Two of my films have been selected for The One Minutes Series of February, ‘Public Justice’ curated by Quinsy Gario: ‘Mobylettes’ (Marrakech, 2012) and ‘Liberty’ (New York City 2013). For ‘Public Justice’, Quinsy Gario invited artists and filmmakers to propose works of one shot in public space commenting on justice. Gario also selected films from the vast The One Minutes Collection. Quinsy Gario is a performance poet and came to the Netherlands from the Caribbean fifteen years ago. In his work he deals with postcolonial issues. He just finished a Master Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art and is currently a fellow of BAK in Utrecht.
