Exhibition: STOER: De Verhalen
On July 4th the exhibition STOER: De Verhalen (in English maybe best translated as 'tough' or 'cool' stories) opened at Museum De Voorde in Zoetermeer. For this commission I portrayed nine people from Zoetermeer region, who are STOER for different reasons. The museum is discussing the definition of STOER with this (and other) exhibitions during the project. Open until December 2021!
