We don`t talk
April 2022 | Solo photography exhibition |
|
|
ON SHOW Photoville New York June 3-18 This exhibition focuses on the persisting memories of traumatic experiences, and the process of redefining them. I subtly bring the invisible world to the surface and make it visible, without underlining the sensation, which would make it louder. There’s beauty in being able to work with those memories and to change your perception, to see yourself in a new, softer, light. We have the capacity—in the space between memory and imagination—to alter ourselves in retrospect. Read more... |

I ❤ My Muslim
February 2018 | Directing & filming documentary |

Carla is a 62-year-old Dutch woman who has converted to Islam and marries a 33-year-old Libyan freedom fighter. The film shows their daily routine in Amsterdam, and how political events in the Middle East effect their lives. Carla has a no-nonsense attitude towards the tensions surrounding Islam and the Muslim community in her own country. Even though Fouad seems to truly Carla, they seek a second younger wife to provide him with children. This will put their relationship to the test. The documentary has been selected by international film festivals including DOK.fest München and Movies that Matter where the film has been nominated for the Dutch Doc award. Read more... |

|
|
In 2014 I interviewed Moroccan moms to hear their views on raising their sons in the Netherlands. We hardly hear the perspective of the mothers in the media. It proved to be very difficult to find moms who wanted to cooperate but ten women did and what they have to say is worth listing too. I did this project together with Rebekka van Hartskamp.
