More about the work:

Welcome in Paradise is a videowork and installation that adresses the importance of welcoming (climate crisis) asylum seekers instead of being hostile and focussing on the refusal of refugees in the Netherlands. Lies Aris rewrote the Genesis story, giving Eva the power. Eva, as the archetypal mother figure wants to take care of human race and nature. Instead of sending p[eoplke away: her style of leadeship is welcoming and kind. She represents a new style of leadership. Matriarchy above Patriarchy.
