Kasteeltje van papier

Situated in between the boarders of Benjamin Verdonck’s Calendar Project, where artistic activism is translated into public performances, under the title of ‘Kasteeltje van papier’ (castle of paper) Verdonck invites the people of Sans-papiers to stay at the Bourla (Toneelhuis) from 18 to 21 May. He constructs a paper house for the paperless, to be situated outside of the Bourla, which can as well serve as an invitation for neighbors, passengers to meet the houseguests. Food is served and activities are provided. Such as a movie screening of the highly criticized Ausländer raus, a football game and more. Later on in the Calendar Project, Benjamin Verdonck decides to work again with the people from Sans-papier, in order to construct the co-creating relationship with them, he felt was lacking in this collaboration.
