The Return of the Swallows

Els Dietvorst

City, 2004, vol. 8, issue 2, 279-288

Abstract: The community art project 'The Return of the Swallows’ can be viewed as a four‐year quest for individual and collective human creation starting in the Midi neighbourhood of Brussels (Anneessens Square), ending in the Moroccan desert. Using a variety of media, artists recruited from the human melting pot in the neighbourhood first express the pain and hardship of existence, which in the later phases of the project the neighbourhood inhabitants transcend to create and act out their many imagined personalities in life; this poetic sublimation will lead them, flying with the swallows to their roots.
