Over samenwerken, Other side

Een bijzonder project dat wat mij betreft ook tot nadenken aanzet, wat vast en zeker de bedoeling van de kunstenares, Alexandra Auer is geweest.

Do you want to play with the other side?” - “No!”
“Would you play with them if the fence wasn’t there?” - “Probably.”
 
Other Side takes place at two elementary schools in Schaerbeek, a diverse neighbourhood in Europe’s capital, Brussels. The two schools share an entrance and a schoolyard, both teach in Dutch, but one school is attended by Belgian children and the other one by immigrant children. The children of both schools are separated by walls and fences, leaving no point of interaction other than through the fence that splits the schoolyard.
