Opening: Tussen Tompouce en Baklava

“Tussen Tompouce en Baklava” is the first solo exhibition of Studio Batman, led by interdisciplinary artist and designer Emin Batman.Curated by Hale Albayrak and Havva Mayalizade, the exhibition marks the 60th anniversary of the guest worker agreement between Türkiye and the Netherlands. At the heart of the exhibition, the iconic desserts of Dutch and Turkish cuisines—tompouce and baklava—serve as powerful metaphors for entangled experiences of belonging. This approach reveals the richness that cultural pluralism can bring.

‍

Through architecture, design, sound, and spiritual symbols, the exhibition makes the layered narratives of migration visible. It invites visitors to contemplate how notions of home and homeland are redefined, how traditions are rearticulated, and how hybrid identities are forged across generations.

On Thursday July 10th, at 19.00 PM we open the exhibition!
