In the wake of the quarantine in the Netherlands, caused by COVID-19, cultural events of all sorts were put on hold or canceled. Due to the circumstances,ย an online platform to facilitate, connect, and promote artists and musicians emerged on Instagram. Every Friday night an event consisting of two musical acts, followed by the works of sixย artists, and finishing with an artist group talk, which was mediatedย by Lola Diaz Cantoni. Each edition had its own theme, given to an external artist to work in into a 9-square grid.ย It was meant to represent a space where art could be introduced and where a diversity of practices could co-exist. Each event also had a poster made by a second external artist.ย
The team of Homescreen consisted of Radina Kordova, Kamile Cesnaviciute, Jorien Ketelaar, and Lola Diaz Cantoni.ย ย
"A zine for your eyes to look at besides the screens weโve grown to be more and more attached to, especially during this pandemic. Homezeen searches for ways to entertain, inspire, and connect ourselves and our readers by holding interviews and talks, making drawings, and puzzles, sharing recipes, making music, and whatever. It is a physical extension of the online art space Homescreen on Instagram, where many artists and musicians were featured. Now Homezeen wants to keep close to home and focus on checking in on the community in and around our hometown of Groningen, the Netherlands. The first edition of the zine contains interviews with musician Elias Elgersma, artist Allie van Altena, artist Helia Rafi, and various contributions from people in our community. "
