The project explores historical colonial ties between the Netherlands and Indonesia through the topic of sugar. Activities include community gatherings where visitors can try Indonesian home-made soup, such as sweet mung bean soup, and sweets brought by neighbours. In parallel, Klazina runs the Klazien-o-theek space, inspired by historical housing supervisor Clasien Meursing. Visitors can join workshops or become members for free by filling in a card and dropping it through the letterbox.
