Guests are Alessandra Sanguinetti (via Zoom), Kadir van Lohuizen, Louise Honée and Yara Jimmink. Alessandra Sanguinetti talks about her new book "The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and The Illusion of an Everlasting Summer". In this book, Alessandra Sanguinetti returns to the Argentine countryside to continue her collaboration with Belinda and Guillermina, two cousins who, as girls, were the subject of the first book in her ongoing series, "The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams". In this second instalment, we follow Guillermina and Belinda in their daily lives between the ages of 14 and 24. In his latest book, "After Us the Deluge", Kadir van Lohuizen shows the consequences of rising sea levels for mankind. He travelled to seven different regions in the world and recorded the consequences the climate crisis is already having on the people who live there. The book is a disturbing document of our times. For each chapter, an expert from the region in question wrote a contribution about the specific problems in his or her country. This includes the former chairman of FOTODOK, Water Envoy Henk Ovink. Yara Jimmink graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 2020 with the exhibition and publication "When summer became winter". The publication is on the shortlist for the Kassel Dummy Award 2020. The family archive of her grandparents' migration from New Guinea to the Netherlands in 1961 with their six-year-old daughter, Jimmink's mother, formed the starting point of "When summer became winter". Yara combines family photos, portraits, photos of flowers and plants and sound recordings in an associative way. Louise Honée travelled to McDowell County in West Virginia for her project "We love where we live". This once prosperous centre of coal mining in the United States has been transformed into a hopeless place with little prospect of better times. Honée searched for the beauty behind the misery and was particularly interested in the new generation that is growing up in a social context in which prosperity has turned to poverty. Written by
