diversity: Diversity is the state or fact of being diverse; it can also mean difference, unlikeness or variety. We think of this term in relation to people and their culture because it explains that people are equal but there is not one 'normal' or essential way of 'being' [or becoming!]. Rather there is a wide variety of ways of being and indeed as many ways of expressing these. This project aims to work with this idea of diversity and to ask how - if we are potentially all very different - we can form a society and engage with each other in interesting and empowering ways.

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.
