Meeting point: Bushalte Ziekenhuis Terneuzen
On Sunday the 26th of March, broeder Dieleman took the group of participants to the creeks of Zeeuws Vlaanderen.
Creeks are mysterious places, a narrow inlet of the sea where land and folklore come together. The creeks of Zeeuws Vlaanderen – imbued with mystery, history, nature and symbolism – are a perfect example of this, with stories of ghosts and other local lore lingering around them. For two years Dieleman has wandered this area, taking pictures, making movies, and writing music and texts to accompany these. As an artist, broeder Dieleman sees it as his duty to speak his own truth regarding the Zeeuws landscape and identity, in contrast to the identity of Zeeland that has been produced and marketed for tourism and industry purposes.
