29 January 2024 1 min. reading time Eureka?

Eighteen young Flemish and Dutch authors have taken inspiration from seventeenth-century artefacts from the Rijksmuseum. Looking at these objects, what eureka moments do they see? Ka(a)te Dejonckheere wrote a poem about the shards of ceramic bowls and lids from the Dutch East India ship ‘Witte Leeuw’. ‘we hope you know that maybe it isn’t even yours, this story’

Ka(a)te Dejonckheere

Ka(a)te Dejonckheere (b. 2019) writes poetry, prose, performance and visual texts. As part of media collective STERKAT she explores the spaces between language and image. Her work has appeared in publications including De Internet Gids, Het Liegend Konijn, Tirade and Hard//Hoofd. Don’t confuse Ka(a)te with her non-fictitious alter ego Kate Dejonckheere (b. 2000), who studied Art History, Musicology and Theatre Studies and Comparative Modern Literature at Ghent University.
