An interactive installation about how colonisation has shaped itself economically in modern
times.

We as Dutch people have colonised many different countries in our past for our own
economic growth. Fortunately, those times are over. We have confessed our guilt, said
sorry, changed signs on statues and are teaching our children what we did in our past. All so
that we can sleep soundly.

Yet many people do not know that colonisation still occurs in this day and age and has taken
on a new form in a cunning way. Large companies still have power over the colonised
countries and we as colonisers play a major role in this.

Just like in the past, we still steal everything that glitters or shines, just like magpies
(eksters), whilst the blisters (eksterogen) of the exploited only grow bigger by the day.

Tagine and Tulips

Fatine Benouari

Tagine and Tulips tells the story of my bi-cultural identity, inspired by my grandmother’s journey as a first-generation Moroccan woman in the Netherlands. By merging Moroccan craftsmanship with Dutch traditional dress into textiles and form, I create a dialogue between past and present, heritage and environment. My work is an ode to migration, cultural blending and the richness of growing up bicultural. It reveals stories that often remain unseen and invites recognition and connection. For me, fashion serves as a social instrument and becomes a bridge between worlds where identity is not fixed but constantly evolving.
