In the Middle of One, the Start of Something New

We are now halfway through the exhibition phase of "ME/YOU, US/THEM" at @Droog, and I have to say, I truly enjoy receiving so many positive responses from our visitors. In the Amsterdam newspaper Het Parool, the title of the exhibition was highlighted as a reference to the absurdity of borders and the contrasts between different social groups, as well as individual differences. 


If you haven’t seen the exhibition yet, please visit us. We have some special dates: 


• On June 6 and 8, and you can join a guided tour, sign up here


• On June 23 and 30 Rotterdam based artist Efrat Zehavi will reside in our gallery, to make plasticine portraits of all kinds of people while engaging in a conversation with them. Her themes are origin, family and migration.


• On June 27, we organise an exploratory talk, where Farid Tabarki will go in conversation with Koert Debeuf (professor of Middle East Studies, author of the book ‘Tribalization: Why War is Coming’) and Naeeda Aurangzeb (journalist, author of the book ‘365 dagen Nederlander’). They will explore the (historical) need for a clash of ideas partly powered by a multitude of identities. How successful are we in this day and age in creating the right amount of clashes? And what is needed to make these a two-way street instead of a zero-sum game? The talk will be in Dutch, and you can get your tickets here



As we reached the midpoint of this exhibition, I am excited to share more about our upcoming event. We are preparing for the third edition of our CAN REON festival in the Barcelona area, in the hills of Tiana, scheduled for 27 and 28 September. This festival explores the interplay between nature, art, and technology. The festival offers a perfect backdrop for artists addressing contemporary experiences, fusing traditional themes with new digital works. Here, play and art, food and performance will come together in nature. In my next letter, I will delve deeper into this. But if you want to be an early bird, you can get more information now.

Great post — thanks for these thoughtful reflections in “In the Middle of One, the Start of Something New.” It’s inspiring to see how transitions and beginnings are framed as opportunities for creativity and purpose. For projects that aim to navigate change and build fresh experiences, working with a solid app developer can turn ideas into interactive realities whether it’s creating a dynamic app to tell your story, engage users, or launch a new concept. How do you envision your next stage evolving into a digital product or companion app?

Transitional moments, which signal the close of one chapter and the start of another, frequently inspire introspection and optimism. Many students talked about how difficult it was for them to write about such feelings until they received assistance from Essay Writers in New Zealand. With the assistance of professionals, they were able to write with authentic depth, meaningfully arrange their thoughts, and effectively convey their sentiments.

Many Girls, especially college-bound girls, enter this industry merely to make extra money. The agency completely protects their personality. The customer's character and the Independent Escorts in Delhi are unaffected by any risks associated with the agency.
