I tend to ignore events of such magnitude. I think the same thing happened with the pandemic and the lockdown that followed. Firstly, I don’t have a television and I don’t read newspapers, so I wasn’t very informed about the panic the people had. So I read it on people, but I didn’t read about it anywhere. In some way, I had some pain about what they’re preoccupied with. Especially in the beginning, the first two or three months, we were panicking, even though there were no cases of infected people. I continued with life as always.
During this time, I started to connect with nature much more. There were no coffee shops in the city, you couldn’t go out.

A dialogue of embroidery: from Kosovo to Molenwijk with Jakup Ferri
April 2023 marked the start of Jakup Ferri’s residency in Werkplaats Molenwijk. For the contemporary artist, lecturer at the Pristina Art Academy and guest advisor at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, the residency in Molenwijk was a return to a familiar district. 12 years earlier, Jakup lived in Amsterdam Noord – on the then undeveloped Van de Pekstraat.
