On Liberation Day, May 5, 2023, the exhibition of Charloisse's budding artist Mikolaj Stojanowicz was opened, who was disturbed by the deplorable state of a photo banner on a blank wall in his street. There are Gouwe children in the photo, photographed 18 years ago by photographer Suzanne Liem. Mikolaj has conceived the plan to once again portray the children around the Gouwstraat with Suzanne and to create a new work of art that can replace the worn out work.
In Nieuw Charlois you can see the series of children who now play and live in the street. Mikolaj made blind prints on gold paper of the photos that Suzanne took again. The new banner will be placed on the wall later this year.
Warm regards Mikolaj, Ivo and Nicole
