MEER DAN CIJFERS: DE GEZICHTEN ACHTER ROTTERDAM'S 170+ NATIONALITEITEN

Rotterdam bruist van diversiteit en inclusie. Met meer dan 170 nationaliteiten is het een van de meest diverse steden ter wereld. Een smeltkroes waar culturen samenkomen en bloeien. Maar wie zijn de mensen achter dit indrukwekkende aantal? Geïnspireerd door deze unieke verscheidenheid willen we een prachtige portretserie lanceren. We willen de bijzondere gezichten en verhalen van Rotterdam vieren. Onze missie: één uniek persoon vinden uit elke Rotterdamse nationaliteit, zodat iedere stem uit deze diverse gemeenschap gehoord wordt. Het project is gestart in februari 2024 en de eerste serie wordt in 2025 verwacht. Word onderdeel van dit project! We zoeken nog naar nationaliteiten, sponsors en expositieruimte.

Faces of Rotterdam: A Photographic Exploration of Diversity
“Curious about the people behind the numbers,” photographer Robert Tjalondo embarked on this project after encountering the cold statistic of 170+ nationalities residing in Rotterdam. Not just a statistic, each number represents a unique story, a journey that led them to this vibrant city. This project seeks to capture these stories through captivating portraits, revealing the human faces behind the diverse mosaic of Rotterdam.
Driven by questions like “Why Rotterdam?” and “What are their experiences?”, Robert aims to create a visual narrative that celebrates the city’s richness and fosters understanding between its multicultural residents.
Join us on this journey of discovery! Explore the portraits, delve into the stories, and be inspired by the human spirit of Rotterdam. To be completed in 2025. Stay tuned!”
