Mark Our History

Performance, 2019

While cycling in three streets that carry names of Dutch colonizers in Amsterdam, I ‘accidentally’ dropped a bucket of paint. People using the streets spread out the paint.  

As a reaction on this, I wrote a letter to Femke Halsema, our (back then) new minister, who had just placed an article in the news paper, asking for new street-names for a new neighbourhood on Ijburg. 

The letter contained of a proposal for some street names. 

I never got a reply.
