De Pijp

De Pijp is a response to the 2026 ISTD brief, Power. Exploring power as voice and visibility, the project and outcome examine how translation across both language and medium can redistribute access to under-represented acts of resistance. This project re-contextualises excerpts of the Dutch video documentary Namens De Kinderen Van De Pijp, 1972 (Roeland Kerbosch) through translation from video to print, from Dutch to English, and from 1972 Amsterdam to a contemporary audience. While researching the broader movement of Stop De Kindermoord, the prominence of large-scale narratives revealed a lack of visibility surrounding smaller, localised acts of activism that contributed to systemic change. This project emerges from that gap, questioning how such voices can be reactivated when exposed to new audiences in a contemporary context.
