Mees van Rijswijk

Website

Mees van Rijswijk is a poet, Spoken Word artist, and soft-activist from Leeuwarden. Mees believes in the art of simplicity, so in his work you will not find words with more than five syllables. In their lyrics, they describe the world exactly as it appears through not-quite-round glasses: a place where details come to the fore and the big picture — only a color palette. During the Tweespraak program, they will combine his texts with visual work, where he puts the focus on sociable loneliness — or, in other words, feeling constantly lonely while being around other people.
