One June 9 KAPITAAL and I released my first zine ‘Hello Mom’ (issue 1) plus a collection of screen prints in various sizes based on the zine. I can not thank Ramon and Carlien of KAPITAAL enough for this fantastic collaboration ❤️.

The works I’ve made during this project are about coming out, religion, homosexuality, childhood and coming to terms with who I am. As part of the opening I showed a short video exploring some of these ideas, using a collage of images I used for the zine, family pictures and videos from my own childhood. After that I had myself interviewed by Non (friend, genderclown and active spokesperson for the queer community of Rotterdam) about the work, my childhood and the relation between the two.

KAPITAAL is an analog print workshop, record label and zine publisher in Utrecht, located at Paardenveld 5. Check out what they do at kapitaalutrecht.nl
