No longer without you

Nazmiye Oral developed her concept for No Longer Without You (Niet Meer Zonder Jou) based on her own experience. “Growing up in an Islamic culture of ‘we’ meant  that the ‘I’ which was forming in me clashed with the existing structures. There was no room for me to live according to the autonomous ‘I’, with its own rules, and stay within my culture at the same time.”

The actors recount how they, with the ones dearest to them, went their own way, at the same time refusing to estrange themselves from their communities. In tandem with and inextricably connected to the live encounter is a series of portrait photographs, which are displayed in the public space.
