Quartair

An anthropological investigation by artists based in The Hague (both international and native) ended in a series of playful rituals, engaging the public through music and food.

Questions around identity and migration served as fuel for new works by: Wen Chin Fu, Matteo Marangoni, Daniël Siegersma, Davide Tidoni.

Tensions experienced while living in transition between places and cultures are reviewed through intimate interviews with many members of the art community and compiled in a new documentary. An interactive website was created for this occasion, check link below.

Davide Tidoni and Matteo Marangoni in Strangers in Karaoke address the challenge of becoming familiar with a foreign culture while confronting negative stereotypes. In Tune of the Hamlets Daniël Siegersma channels his attachment to the native language of his ancestors by joining in song the different dialects of Low Saxon. Wen Chin Fu in Nederlands Gastronomisch Inburgeringsexamen responds to her experience with the process of acquiring Dutch nationality by imagining an immigration test over food culture in The Netherlands.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go was developed with the participation of: Erfan Abdi, Marije Baalman, Budhaditya Chattopadhyay, Wen Chin Fu, Ji Kang, Gábor Kerekes, Lars Kynde,  Sebastiaan van ‘t Holt, Hanna ljäs, Matteo Marangoni, Marit Mihklepp, Farah Rahman, Flora Reznik, Jonathan Reus, Ludmila Rodrigues, Daniël Siegersma, Davide Tidoni, Gabey Tjon a Tham, Sissel Marie Tonn and Philip Vermeulen.
