April 19th, 2010
Residency

Well, its actually been a month in Holland to-date.

I am in a quiet city in the north of the Nethrlands, in Hoorn! Yes I agree, a strange name that insinuates different things.

None-the-less, Hotel MariaKapel HMK is the art space hosting me for 2.5 months to focus on the my research and actaully, this place it the perfect space for concentration.

My adventures to date of coarse included bicycles, which are so much fun, as long as you don't fall off in the middle of a busy tourist area straight on your butt!

March 27th, 2010

Conversations around citizenship and the relationship between the inhabitants of Amman to their city has been a topic dwelled on many times in the past years. Ideas and theories related to the city and the public space in light of urban development / regeneration, gentrification, regional and social politics are all heavily discussed, raising questions about citizenship and ultimately reflecting on how people identify with and develop a sense of ownership to their city.
