Location
On the wall above the shoe shop in the town centre is a mother stretching out her arms towards her child. Michel Velt based the artwork on conversations with local residents; he hopes they will recognise themselves in it. This colourful creation has made Beijum that much more beautiful.
Groninger Museum X Writer’s Block
With three large, wall-filling artworks to be created over the coming months in the Groningen neighbourhoods of Beijum, Vinkhuizen and Paddepoel, the Groninger Museum is seeking to engage with the city’s residents. National and international artists, including Michel Velt and Tito Mulk, are creating new works for everyone to admire. This street art project, organised in collaboration with Writer’s Block, forms part of the supporting programme for the exhibition ‘JR: Chronicles’, which was on display at the museum.
