FOR REAL - episode 9

FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions.

In this episode: women in art - visible minority - mother’s sacrifice - deserving to speak. 

Recorded on 17 May 2024 at O. festival in Rotterdam.

(01:40) Laura [°1998 - Haarlem, NL] on (not) being taken seriously in her entity as an art historian, writing for platform De KunstMeisjes: the Art Girls.

(04:54) Beverly [°1974 - USA] on feeling excluded, all the time, in her life as a filmmaker, artist and librettist. As a visible minority, you cannot not notice it. Eg. in pitching ideas for gatekeepers: they should fit into a "minority life". Gun crimes and prostitution.

(11:10) Vernon [°1984 - Curaçao] wants his mother to be her full self. To pursue her 19-year old dreams, after she pursued her children's dreams first, in intense self-sacrifice. "Go for it mama. It ain't over till it's over".

(16:42) What do you deserve? 

Tieche [°1977 - Rotterdam, NL] : to be more self-confident, and not be in doubt forever. 

Maaike [°1999 - Tuitjenhoorn, NL] : was doubting to come to the middle, because everything she would say should be perfect. She deserves : to speak, whether it is important or not.

Chabelle [°1993 - Rotterdam, NL] : to not live in fear or prosecution because of the government turning against you.

For each episode of FOR REAL, we get together with a group of people in a theater, to look into what it means to matter as a person. All interviews are carried by improvised music, made by George Dumitriu (viola, guitar), Sarah Jeffery (recorders) and Andrea Voets (harp).
