Does this sound familiar?
😼"Oh you're going home, you're going to Aruba - That must be great having “Paradise” as home!"
Then even more so - this episode is for you!
In this conversation Gyonne and Eva delve deep into the notion of going back home for a break - but not always getting that break. It's about homesickness and the complexities of that. It's also a conversation about '18 di maart', national holidays and belonging nowhere and everywhere at the same time. Many postcolonial societies have these holidays. It can bring up a lot of pride, but it also has darker sides to it.

In this episode, Eva and Gyonne, together with Kenny and Maxi Hill discuss the question of living in between or going back and what that means for them. What factors play a role for them in deciding to go back or live in between? Who or what is important in making these decisions? If we choose to stay away from the so called ‘back home’, living life on our terms, what responsibilities do we feel in taking care or giving back to home in different ways? How heavy does that weigh in the decisions of our day to day lives?
Eva and Gyonne discuss what life is like after the process of what they came to do in the Netherlands is finished. For most of us it is studying.
Together with the founders of the SayLessSis Platform and mister Artwell Cain, they discuss the need and motivation to build our own organizational structures, living the 'bai bin' life and the feeling of wanting and needing to invest in the (is)land that they are from.
Gyonne and Eva discuss mental health with musicologist and researcher Charissa Granger and Jorge Garrido. What kind of daily rituals do they have to keep themselves going? And what about the constant friction choosing between the life you have created and the life you left behind? They explore the critical thinking you develop when you look at your home from abroad and the rights you lose when you are a citizen abroad.

Together with researcher and human right activist Lisenne Delgado and artist Quinsy Gario Gyonne and Eva explore the student and working life in the Netherlands. They talk about life as a newcomer in Europe and the Education system in The Netherlands versus the Education System on the islands. How do you deal with the constant need of confirmation of european/eurocentric aesthetics and the feeling of isolation? What mental toll does that take on us?
This episode is about the need to code switch, the (mis)conception of paradise and one foot in, one foot out. Within the episode Lisenne and Quinsy talk about the work of Patricia Kaersenhout and Alana Lockward.

Gyonne and Eva talk with politician Lysanne Charles and former director of Bijlmer Park Theater Ernestine Comvalius about arriving in the Netherlands, coming from the Caribbean. What does it mean to be rooted elsewhere? They talk about missing home, language differences, cultural differences and the importance of a community. Some of us have passport privileges, others don’t. How do we deal with that?

Eva and Gyonne talk with singer and activist Caitlin Schaap and artist Jorge Coffie on the long awaited migration from the Caribbean to the Netherlands. How did they experience this? They speak about prepping for the move, different motives of moving and financial risks that come with this. But also about the classist and value creative element of the educational system, and the semi-indoctrination that is implemented regarding moving abroad because of a more qualitative higher education and self-exploitation.
