Indisch Zwijgen

At Fonds ZOZ, I initiated and directed a series of video portraits to spotlight the people behind the projects we support — starting with Indisch Zwijgen, a documentary exploring how third-generation Indo-Dutch youth confront the silence in their families' past.
 

Strategic Purpose
This portrait was part of a broader communication strategy I developed to humanize the fund’s mission: making visible the stories that often go unheard, and the makers who dare to tell them.
 

Creative Approach
I chose an intimate, documentary-style format to reflect the values of Fonds ZOZ — personal, layered, and socially engaged — and to inspire new makers by showing what “anders kijken” really looks like.
 

Social Impact
Through this work, I bridged abstract policy goals with tangible human stories, translated complex themes into accessible formats, and connected public communication with lived experience — key values I carry into every project I take on.
