Tot Wie Wij Zijn - Joost Oomen

Art makes us who we are. But how does art do that? Why do bus trips to the Mona Lisa exist, how can Bach move us across all those centuries? In Tot wie wij zijn (To Who We Are), Joost Oomen goes in search of what art exactly is and how we can defend it in these turbulent times.

With the best, most moving and funniest anecdotes about sculptors, poets, directors and musicians, Oomen shows that art is not a nice frill, but the backbone of our society. A heartfelt, but certainly also hilarious plea for the arts, as only Oomen can.
