Ladan comes from Iran and for the last 23 years she runs a hair salon in West Rotterdam, where she is also called the Mayoress of Delfshaven. She does this nickname justice, as people of the neighbourhood daily shuffle in for a cup of coffee, a hair cut, or just a friendly chat. Ladan is more than just a hairdresser. She fulfills an important role in the neighborhood with her salon, that functions as a social gathering place where everyone meets.
With the short film we want to show the importance of her place, but also the importance of social contact. The film comes with a photo report about her work and the people in her salon.

Presentation

Marieke den Ouden is a designer living in Arnhem. During her studies in graphic and social design at the Willem de Kooning Academy, she looked at the relationship between the Netherland’s clothing industry, consumerism, and graphic design.
Photography is an important aspect in her work, and wherever she goes - the camera goes too. Can’t find Marieke on land? Probably because she’s sailing across the ocean on a pirate ship, teaching youngsters about sustainability
