Regrounding Bonds

Schilderswijk, one of the most culturally diverse yet stigmatized neighborhoods in The Hague. This project stems from my long-standing interest in the concept of "home," particularly how marginalized communities express cultural belonging through spatial practices. I aimed to use fieldwork and video installation to challenge the dominant media portrayal of Schilderswijk as a "problem neighborhood," and instead highlight the emotional, cultural, and practical strategies residents employ to root themselves in unstable housing conditions.
