|  | | ANONYMOUS | Exhibition with a.o. Antrianna Moutoula, Gleb Maiboroda
@ TAC, Eindhoven
Is it possible to make a connection without ever seeing or talking to each other? Does intimacy depend on physical presence? Is the reader at the mercy of the writer, or is it the other way around? And how is that bond influenced by anonymity?
All these questions come together in this letter, in which dreams and philosophy are intertavened. A letter written especially for you.

@ Kunstverein Grafschaft Bentheim, Neuenhaus, Germany
Opening 24 MAY from 19:00
In this video Luca conducts research about his family history, specifically about his great-grandfather.

|  | | ZOU JE VAN MIJ HOUDEN | Performance by Leendert Vooijce
@ Oosterkerk, Amsterdam
As a child, Leendert crawled under the table, wrapped in grandmother's heels, and whispered: “Mom, would you love me if I were a girl?” Silence followed.
How do we cherish a place in our society for those who want to create themselves? Based on Leendert's own gender quest, it takes you into a movement between masculinity and femininity, in the language of poetry and theater.

@ Buda, België
'The Woman Who Thought She Was a Planet' is the closing chapter of Border Buda, a three-year cultural project taking place in Buda, an industrial neighbourhood where the Northern outskirts of Brussels cross into Vilvoorde and Machelen in Flanders.
Artists, architects, writers, researchers, radio makers and activists speculate on possible futures for Buda through the many ghosts that inhabit it. In their presence, they experiment with alternative modes of viewing, valuing and being in Buda, to dislodge its ‘development’ agenda and broaden its imaginaries, models and typologies.
