Coming soon: double solo by Mella Jaarsma and Roy Villevoye

This summer, KAdE is showing the double-solo: Mella Jaarsma: Trouble Skirts and Roy Villevoye: Imaginable Lives. Both artists have a more than 30-year body of work and are associated with the Indonesian archipelago.

Jaarsma has lived and worked there for 40 years, exploring cultural diversity and identity through themes such as the body and its covering and the role of food.

Villevoye has traveled frequently to the Asmat in Papua since the early 1990s, established a very personal connection with the community there and reflects on those encounters and experiences in his work. Both artists create dialogues between different cultures and challenge viewers to look critically at how "the other" is defined and perceived.
