Photographer Marissa Beretta has been active in Haarlem-Oost for two years with all kinds of projects under the flag of the Kapsalon foundation. That name refers to the hair salon where you come away looking more beautiful, but where stories are also shared. Beretta wants to depict these stories with art and thus brighten up Haarlem-Oost.
Remarkable gift
Two years earlier, Beretta organized art routes past murals and other art objects. So she left at the commemoration of the mistaken bombing in the Second World War, where a large part of the neighborhood was destroyed, children make drawings about the story of an elderly resident who had experienced it all.
While organizing the third art route this year, Beretta received a remarkable gift. She may temporarily use an empty rental home from Elan Wonen as a pop-up museum. Now she can show even more how artistic the residents of Haarlem-Oost are.
“The great thing here is that residents who have never drawn before and are now taking a portrait drawing course participated,” says Marisa Beretta in the report below.
