Aflevering English: Joost Zwanenburg - “Always Spring In Sluiswijk” - Muren & Buren Deventer

TITEL: “Always spring in Sluiswijk” House: Randerstraat 11 wall Randerstraat little square Artist: Joost Zwanenburg (Amsterdam)- instagram.com/joostvijfb/ The previously starkly white painted walls in this neighbourhood were an eyesore for local residents. Together with various local organisations, we planned these murals. Stories were collected from the neighbourhood residents, which were depicted on the walls by various artists. Each wall also hides a "Biscuit" as a reference to the "Sluis biscuit factory" that used to stand near this neighbourhood, and is now the namesake of this neighbourhood. Story: : In one of the houses in Sluiswijk, it is always spring. That’s because in this particular house, you will always find blooming flowers: sunflowers, daisies, roses and tulips in colourful bouquets. Artist Joost Zwanenburg was inspired by this special neighbourhood resident and created a mural based on a photo of a homemade flower bouquet. But that’s not all; he also creatively brought the flower enthusiast and her daughters back into the mural. Her daughters appear as two woodland birds brightening up the neighbourhood, just as her daughters love to do with sidewalk chalk. Speaking of little birds, do you see what the one on the left is snacking on? Find all the cookies in all the murals in Sluiswijk!
