A storyteller shared stories of conflict collected from local residents in a sandbox. As the audience gathered around an arena made of sand and tailor-made props, she made the conflicts visible and tangible. To a passer-by, it looked like an ordinary storytelling session in a playground.
Oliver and I created the project for Cure Park (2017), organised by TAAK in Amsterdam, which brought art interventions to the tranquil setting of one of the Netherlands’ largest public parks. The storyteller was the professional mediator Chantal van Doesburgh. The work was later presented in Helsinki, curated by Ceyda Berk-Söderblom.
