dutch: Dutch can be understood as a language collectively used in a variety of places including the Netherlands, Flanders in Belgium, Aruba, the Dutch Antilles, etc. It is also understood to describe a national identity. Using this word in our title is not to insist on a national identity but rather to explore how vibrant and diverse this category can be while at the same time accurately locating us as living together right here and right now in a particular region of the world. We want to imagine Dutch as a term implying diversity, which describes and includes all of our community at all times and stretches beyond its legal and national limits.
