What is Freedom to you’? We asked this question to the young people of the project ‘School des Levens in de Schilderswijk and refugees from The Hague. They watched fragments of interviews with people who have experienced unfreedom and talked to each other about the meaning of freedom.
Then, together with art subject teachers, they experimented with three techniques: smartphone art based on photos, stop-motion technique and working with film, text and sound.
But the most important thing is imagination. How do you show what freedom means to people of the past and to yourself?
The outcome can be seen in this mini exhibition and can be viewed until 30 November.
The exhibition is part of the “Freedom as a theme” project and has been made possible by the Oral History Hub “Sprekende geschiedenis”, stagehuis Schilderswijk, Habesha Spirit, Ruben van Gogh (poet and teacher of smartphone art), Farah Rahman (multidisciplinary artist and project collaborator Filmhub Zuid-Holland) and Sound and Vision The Hague.
