Artist Wapke Feenstra explores the direct physical and mental environment by tapping into local knowledge. ‘The Rural Side’ takes the former appellation of Rotterdam-Zuid as its starting point. In the past, farm workers and their families moved to the area because there were jobs to be found in the city’s harbours. In time, the rural and urban became intertwined. This art project was created with and by people from Rotterdam, placing rural migration, mindsets, memories, objects, and plein air drawings in the midst of the current gentrification of Rotterdam-Zuid. It demands critical awareness of the ease with which rural culture is being swallowed up and urbanised worldwide.
