“I am Because We Are” at Photoville

Ilvy Njiokiktjien‘s “I am Because We Are” is on view at Photoville in Brooklyn Bridge Park (Pier 5 Uplands).

With a higher proportion of the Dutch population finding co-living as a solution to the rising cost of living, providing elder-care, living sustainably, and coping with loneliness, alternative options have become more available and diverse. Njiokiktjien’s project investigates co-living arrangements across the Netherlands, offering insight into what is leading people to choose this lifestyle.
