Not really started yet
After a meeting for all participants at Pluto (a squat-turned-art-space close to the station), the intention had been to make a tour of Enschede with the DAI students and the visitors in order to get familiar with the environments in which we will be working. There was still loads to do for the exhibition, though, and so myself and a large group of the students ended up spending most of the day at Villa de Bank finishing things off. Everything was done however by the opening time of 6pm, and so after a short speech from Gabriëlle the crowds were able to see what we had been up to. I have to say that I am very pleased with the results, and in particular the benefits achieved by having a curator, namely James Beckett, to organise the concept and execution of the show.
Later there was music from a group of Sudanese musicians in the garden, and once again food and wine, as well as some dancing. It was great to see everyone shaking their little tooshies!
