On 29 May, PotatoPress opens the doors of its editorial room to all curious, wandering, and ambitious potato journalists to contribute to the PPPotato newspaper! Come peel a potato to reveal its hidden layers, dig deep in the earth for its roots, expose its versatility, become the paparazzi of potatoes, bring out the latest (fake) news, or contribute to the entertainment section.
In the editorial room, we’ll explore the politics of the potato together. Using different perspectives, personal knowledge, field research, and (reliable) sources, we’ll reflect on the role of the potato in our society, the global economy, our common thinking, different ideologies and strong opinions. What does the potato have to tell us? How can the potato nurture our ideas about the politics of being together and interacting with each other? We’ll also dive deep into our primal Dutch frying culture and the snackbar as a meeting place. What is the role of the snackbar in today’s times?
The newspaper will be published and distributed in the neighbourhood of P139.
Participants can drop in and join any time.
We want this exhibition to be accessible to everyone, which is why entry is free. If you're able, we invite you to contribute and Pay-Pay-Pay-What-You-Can,
