‘Three women, four people of colour, one from a continent other than Europe or North-America. It is a beginning, and for now I will accept it, but next year I expect different numbers. Next year I expect at least a 50/50 split in terms of gender and race, and at least four artists from Asia,…
Girl anachronism
If an anachronism is something or someone that is not in its correct historical or chronological time, especially a thing or person that belongs to an earlier time, as the English dictionary seem to suggest, then I’m a big, fat anachronism.

Where were you when…?
Some people still know where they were when JFK got shot. I have no talent for such precise memories. I literally only know where I was when 9/11 happened; at work in The Hague.
