Disability is not far away. It's ordinary and special at the same time. In Ik ben gewoon hier, you look at makers, people and society from a disability - in everyday experiences and imaginative art. In this exhibition, Het Kreukel Collective — a group of disabled artists, activists and researchers — turns the idea of a makeable life upside down.
THE NORM
When do your body and mind meet 'the' standard? Who actually decides it? In five spaces, you'll explore the boundaries between normal and non-normal. Be aware of your (preliminary) judgment and the way you see things in the Staarkamer. Feel excluded or, on the contrary, locked up with The Institute. Go wild in the Warrior Room. Let yourself be seduced by the Lusthof. And finally, meet yourself in the Hall of Mirrors.
“Have you ever met a normal person? So, did you like it? ' - Simon Carmiggelt, 1964
