Join us and meet our new residents, Skye Maule-O’Brien and Mirjam Linschooten.

During this meet & greet, you can not only get to know the artists themselves but also gain insight into their project, Breath & Breeze: Tongueless whispers of the wind.

The Dutch played an extensive role in shaping colonial rule, slavery, trade, labour, and the plantation economies through the use of wind technology. For example, at one time Barbados had more than 500 windmills, more than any other country besides the Netherlands. The skeletal remains of these windmills are part of the visual landscape of the island, reminding us of something that is supposed to be long over and done with but which lingers unresolved.

Skye Maule-O’Brien and Mirjam Linschooten will bring this research to Hoorn to collectively engage and critically examine its local colonial history.
