What?
For the graduation show I want to present a series of recorded conversations following the concerns elaborated upon in the thesis. The thesis studies the Dutch relationship to water - and how this reflects broader politics - through the case study of Rotterdam. For now mainly focussing on reading together of Dutch migration (and integration) policies and the Rotterdam harbour expansion (economic trade). An axis that shows national borders to fluctuate between fixed and fluid. I would say this text has as its aim, by taking water as its organising principle, to undertake a non-linear study of history.
de Stroming (meaning current or ideology)
These conversations will be presented through the Rotterdam (web) radio station de Stroming , I have developed to this end. This station functions as a research as well as archive tool.
The next month I want to use this tool by hosting a series of conversations and broadcasting these during the graduation show in conjunction with images and collages made based on the conversations and the thesis.
