Warung Tori #3 in Verhalenhuis Belvédère, Rotterdam
01.12.2023De laatste Warung Tori was een magische avond. We hadden het onder andere over het naar de overkant gaan, de matteklopper, saoto soep en de hiphop met een zachte G welke grijs werd gedraaid door de broers Tyler & Sebastian in 2008!
Speciale dank aan de gasten Cheraine Baljé & Nosa. Liefde naar een ieder die naar de expositie is geweest en die een Warung Tori avond heeft bezocht, we kijken met trots terug naar de 3 maanden in Verhalenhuis Belvédère. Verwacht in 2024 nog veel meer De Gesuikerde Onderneming.

A day out of 1000 dreams in Concordia, Enschede
13.05.2022 - 15.07.2022
It has been 50 years since my Javanese family migrated from Suriname to the Netherlands. In the archives of my grandfather & grandmother, I found material from the first year in the Netherlands on damaged DVDs. The film 'A day out of 1000 dreams' is set in 1972/'73 and shows the migration and several 'first times' ; such as the first time to the zoo, to school, to the fair and the vacation to Paris. When I first saw the material, I was astonished at the joy and zest for life I saw my family experiencing. This is in fact in stark contrast to Dutch public archives, which are full of Javanese people but rarely depicted in their strength. With that, I want to emphasize the importance of proper representation and having role models.
The short film without audio (18 mins) can be seen 24/7 through the window of Concordia
