“Why are you here?” is a question that can come across as offensive or even racist to many migrants around the world. This series of interviews however, posted the exact same question from a different ground – a genuine curiosity to get to know the person from a fellow migrant who understands the state of relocation. This conversation between Honey Kraiwee and curator, researcher Darunee Terdtoontaveedej starts off with this question and further explores the experience of a creative immigrant in the Netherlands from a critical point of view.
