Leeszaal in Rotterdam hosted on Monday 24 March 2025 a very important public moment.

Among the works exhibited was the installation connected to the project "Labels, but not for clothes". It included the latest video piece of the project and a new interactive work. Both deal with systemic bias, but from a different perspective: The video is related to the reinforcement of stereotypes through repetition and the interactive piece to exclusion as a means of control.

The installation was supported by props that gave a bleak, bureaucratic air, as many of the decisions regarding what should be part of the public dialogue and which attitudes should be promoted are taken in such vacuums.

The description of the work was in a take-away A4 poem format:

The biblical conflict

[Caption 1: Screen]

A little grown-up monkey,
mimicking stereotypes playing on repeat
empty performances to be filled
with pre-delegated meaning
and a hint of self-awareness.

Even when evading the confines
of definitions
there is exclusion in store.
Death by eradication.

[Caption3: Important Notice]

In the beginning was the spoken word
the spreading voice
the loving touch
building alliances
bringing down kingdoms.

We are organic and so we evolve.
Let's talk.
