Loesje "TICKLE THE POWER"
An exhibition about humor, creativity and free speech on the streets.
Jakarta, Indonesia between 27 April 2007 - 2 June 2007
It is 1983 and suddenly posters with oneliners appear on the streets of the Dutch city of Arnhem, signed by a Dutch girl's name "Loesje". The texts reflect on different current cultural and social topics in society and dare to ask critical questions. At the same time they are positive and make people laugh. More than 20 years later the posters with texts signed by Loesje have appeared in over forty countries. Loesje has become a phenomenon in the Netherlands and steals the hearts of more and more people outside her country of birth.
Who is this mysterious girl Loesje, what does she want and why does she leave her mark on the streets? During the exhibition "tickle the power" you will find out and you can even create oneliners yourself during one of the creative text writing workshops.
