Repair Is Never Neutral: Politics, Narrative, and the Dutch Reconstruction of Dousadj

Master Socio-Political Context · 2025-2026

Project

Repair is where care, power, memory, and authorship meet. Grounded in Dousadj, the project follows a post-earthquake reconstruction remembered as Dutch, but lived, altered, and carried by the village itself. Using cross-stitch on photographs alongside redesigned objects, the installation turns archival material into a site of intervention. Repair becomes a way to read what the archive keeps visible, and what it leaves behind.
