Padang, West Sumatra (25 Nov 2025).
Floodwaters turned roads into rivers. Rescue crews used rubber boats to evacuate women and children. Media coverage fades fast. But for locals, the hardest part often starts after: cleaning up, rebuilding, and coping with trauma.

Photographer Muhammad Amdad Hossain captures the impact of saltwater on lives in coastal Bangladesh: a woman removing weeds from a saline shrimp pond, where seawater alters livelihoods and survival.
This issue parallels the Netherlands, where drought leads to saltwater intrusion. Learning together.

Rowing through a drowned world.
In 1953, 24-year-old mussel fisherman Wim Schot spent three days in a small boat, rowing through flooded streets and polders around Zierikzee and Schouwen-Duiveland. He pulled people from attics and rooftops, house after house.

100 years in a few seconds. This is what #climatechange does to glaciers. 🏔️
Old photos of Swiss and Austrian ice, turned into a short AI animation by Juergen Merz and Michel Galati. We can’t bring this ice back, but we can still give nature room to recover.

Visited FENIX Rotterdam with my colleague, looking at how departure and arrival are framed, and how visitors see themselves in those journeys.
Useful input for our remembrance work at the Watersnoodmuseum.

On 29 October I joined the remembrance in Paiporta: three minutes of silence and candles by the river. From this visit we’re starting a Paiporta–Netherlands drawings exchange. The work will appear in ‘Remembrance: From Flood to Ritual’ at Watersnoodmuseum (opens 1 Feb 2026).

I visited Valencia to express solidarity one year after the DANA floods. In 1953, Spanish communities collected pesetas and fruit for Dutch flood victims. This week, we remember that spirit, learning together how art and remembrance can build resilience.

Today we welcomed a delegation from Tokyo at the Watersnoodmuseum (Flood Museum). 🇯🇵
They discovered Johannis de Rijke – a Dutch engineer from Zeeland who 150 years ago modernised Japan’s rivers and harbours. In Colijnsplaat, a statue donated by Japan still honours his legacy.

Today, the International Court of Justice said that failing to act on #climatechange could violate international law. Countries hit hard by global warming may be owed compensation. The opinion, led by #Vanuatu and backed by 130+ countries, affirms that a clean and safe environment is a human right.

In het Watersnoodmuseum ontvingen we Pieter van der Hulle, die als 6-jarige de ramp van 1953 in Ouwerkerk overleefde. Die nacht werd hij met zijn familie gered door vissers uit Yerseke en opgevangen in Goes. Nu, ruim 70 jaar later, deelt Pieter zijn verhaal met de Zwitserse televisie.

Heartbreaking images from Texas. The Guadalupe River rose by eight meters in just 45 minutes. Homes were swept away, families torn apart. Children lost their lives during a summer camp.
Thinking of everyone affected — those who are searching, grieving, helping.

🌊 70 years after the 1953 flood, six giant sand murals appeared on the Dutch coast. Coastal Echoes by Synchronicity Productions honoured victims and survivors — and asked: Are we really safe? What happens as seas keep rising?
The tides erased the art.
The questions remain.
