Where there’s people, there’s rats. This has been the case for centuries, and especially so in Rotterdam. Although rats love who we are and what we do, the feeling isn’t mutual at all. That's a shame, because we are close neighbors whether we like it or not. Guided by artists Maarten Bel and Niek Hilkmann from Expeditie Ratterdam, you will engage in an in depth conversation with the Rat of Rotterdam to discover a whole new perspective. Are your assumptions correct? Perhaps you have an inner rat that’s waiting to be revealed? Strengthen the relationship between humans and wildlife with deeper understanding. It will go both ways.
