Partly as a result of the attention for climate change and environmental pollution, 'green' is a hot topic. 'Green' should bring the experience of nature back into our petrified urban space and provide people with a better living environment. But can the promises of a green infrastructure be kept? Who makes the decisions about our urban green space and who is responsible for its maintenance? These are some of the questions the research will focus on

De Staat van Verzorging (The State of Care) stems from Stroom's previous contact with Hans van Houwelingen, in connection with his documentary about the preservation of De Blauwe Golven, the environmental art work of Peter Struycken in Arnhem. The municipality of Arnhem initially wanted to demolish this iconic work of art to make way for a new piece of greenery. Van Houwelingen got wind of this, and together with a number of students and young artists formed the ArteZTeam, which started a research project that led to a renewed discussion about the work's right to exist.
The film Tussen Blauwe Golven en Groene Corridor will have its première during sonsbeek20-24 (10 April - 21 June 2021).
