topic: Home & Belonging

In the topic Home & Belonging, we explore how we can find solidarity and connection through art. Finding your place in an existing group or community is a universal experience. Whether you’ve just arrived in a new city, workplace, or country, you may be welcomed with open arms, or feel like you have to fight for your place.

The Netherlands was once seen as a model of tolerance, but that image is under pressure. While calls for inclusion grow louder, resistance also persists. Belonging is not a given; it’s something we must work towards. How do we approach the unfamiliar? How do we make space for others and for ourselves? And how can art help us imagine and shape more connected, inclusive communities?
