Michael Jackson is remembered as the King of Pop, and is a renowned incredibly talented singer and dancer. His style, music and dance moves are celebrated worldwide. He was a one of a kind performer and once in a lifetime entertainer, but few people really know the man he was behind the mask and and the man that the media portrayed him to be.

His success was overshadowed by child abuse allegations, and his addiction for prescription drugs and plastic surgery.

The Flood

2021
The decision to move to Holland doesn't sound like a wise idea. Why move to a country that could be flooded at any moment? For the last 25 years, the political climate has shifted. The public debate on migration has become harsher, more heated, and polarized. What would have been considered right-wing xenophobia back then, is now considered mainstream. Populists simplify complex realities into good and evil, victims and perpetrators: ‘us’ versus ‘them’. Their rhetoric often consists of dehumanizing words and metaphors. One of these is ‘water’. In reality, water is not an immediate threat to the average Dutch person; but it is a huge threat to the thousands trying to reach the Netherlands. People trying to survive the Mediterranean Sea in rubber boats. Trying to survive winter on the Aegean coast in primitive tents. To them, water really is deadly.
