infoThis film explores Eduard Veterman's 1945 script Het Oranje-Hotel, examining its narrative of Dutch resistance. The Oranjehotel in The Hague is best remembered as the prison where Nazis imprisoned resistance fighters. Veterman, a Jewish resistance fighter once incarcerated there, wrote a play set in one of its cells. Through recording parts of the play, I examine the collective memory of Het Oranjehotel on the 80th anniversary of the end of war.

2022Breaking News Royal Academy of Art The Hague The Hague, Nederland In its most honest state, news media is a tool to empower and inform. It exposes the audience to current-affairs and in turn can unveil the current-affairs to the public. But this system is not without its flaws. It often happens the news lacks the perspectives of marginalised groups or is used as a mouthpiece for the dominant political powers. For these reasons we must look critically at how news is reported. For this exhibition 10 students of the Master Non Linear Narrative chose a particular news event to dissect and reframe. www.instagram.com/p/Cd20LM9L0mC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D&img_index=5 Groep

Defining Divinity The Netherlands and Taiwan, Nederland Defining Divinity is a collaborative project with Rising Lai focussing on Dutch East India Company (VOC) personnel who were deified into the Taoist divine system - their legends passed down from generation to generation. Nowadays, there are Taoist temples that worship deified Dutch VOC-ers as gods and goddesses - showing their portraits on altars. Their religious stories are the result of the shared memories of the region’s residents. Although the archive shows hints of the stories’ origins, most of the stories have morphed into history and fiction - creating a new folkloric telling of these VOC gods altogether. The deification of VOC-ers in Taiwan is an unexpected and little-known phenomenon in The Netherlands, and thereby presents an underexplored relic of the VOC. The dissonance between the expected regard of VOC-ers in Taiwan and their actual status as deities provides us with an interesting area of tension, and thereby, research. This project aims to center the local, contemporary Taiwanese perspective, while allowing for the initially uncomfortable idea of a VOC-god. Focussing on VOC deities we, of course, do not intend to glorify the vicious VOC history; instead, we attempt to complicate the dominant Dutch VOC-narrative by accepting and curiously investigating Taiwanese lived realities and (hi)stories.

Huis van het Boek, The Hague, Nederland The "Dagregisters van Kasteel Zeelandia," the VOC diaries from Taiwan’s colonization, are the earliest written records of Taiwanese indigenous communities. Once colonial tools, these documents are now used in the decolonization process. In this installation, we treat the book as a gatekeeper, exploring how colonial records influence the repatriation of indigenous history. This highlights how books don't merely reflect societies, but actively shape them.

The Bricks Keep the Record The Hague, Nederland graduation.kabk.nl/2023/lisette-alberti The Bricks Keep The Record is a multimedia installation focusing on a building in The Hague, The International City of Peace & Justice, which has served as a prison under different political and ideological circumstances since its establishment. It has been utilized as a prison by the Nazis during the Second World War, and is currently still used as a prison by the Dutch government and as a detention facility by the International Criminal Court. The installation, consisting of a soundscape, collage and bricks, focuses on the physicality of the building itself as a witness. The historic building observes the comings and goings of those who pass through it in ever-changing roles of incarcerated and incarcerator – a metaphorical archive of experiences. Exploring the interplay between the prison's physicality and the stories it silently holds, the work prompts contemplation on the use of incarceration as a tool to serve justice, and the ideological and political conditions that shape the understanding of criminality. As an enduring entity, the building bears witness to the evolving narratives of justice, criminality and human resilience within its walls.

Srebrenica is gevallen The Hague, Nederland This installation investigates the reporting in De Volkskrant about the genocide in Srebrenica from July 11 1995, the day of the genocide, until the Dayton Peace Agreements were signed on December 14, 1995. Through the continued isolation of the articles mentioning the word “Srebrenica” on the left page, the work emphasizes the literal space this news was granted in the newspaper. Through this visual intervention in the archive it becomes clear that news reporting – even that of a genocide – only exists in relation to other current affairs, and that its importance emerges through the passage of time.
