Discover 'Onder de daken van Nieuw-West': An Exhibition on Home and Identity in the Diverse District

This exhibition delves into the meaning of 'home' within the diverse cultural landscape of Nieuw-West, a district with 186 nationalities. Photographer Karijn Kakebeeke collaborated with residents to explore how their sense of home is formed and to highlight the shared and diverse experiences of belonging in a contemporary city.

Photographer Karijn Kakebeeke has embarked on a journey with residents of Nieuw-West to understand their sense of 'home' within a district characterized by its rich cultural diversity, housing 186 nationalities across 68 neighborhoods. The exhibition investigates how these diverse cultural backgrounds shape individual feelings of home and queries whether these sentiments differ from one's own, ultimately asking what makes a place feel like home. The photographs and accompanying conversations offer insights into the multifaceted nature of belonging, revealing both the unique and universally recognizable aspects of feeling at home. In a time where 'difference' often faces limitations, this exhibition emphasizes themes of coexistence, mutual observation, and the experience of being 'home' in today's urban environment. This exhibition is notably located in the Van Eesteren Museumwoning, rather than the main pavilion. It aims to foster a deeper understanding of how individuals connect with their living spaces and communities, encouraging visitors to reflect on their own perceptions of home. The project highlights the importance of seeing and being seen, and the complex interplay of identity and place within a rapidly evolving city.

This exhibition is located in the Van Eesteren Museumwoning. Further details on admission or ticketing are not explicitly provided on this page, but visitor information can typically be found through the museum's official channels.
