Baby, I Have Your Back is a performance about embracing femininity and walking in public spaces at night collaboratively. The goal is to highlight the complexities faced by women and feminine presenting people in public spaces, and share these experiences with transwomen, women, feminine presenting people and locals. From March 2024, my team (Max Oosterholt–walking partner, Aline Papenheim–photographer, and myself) have been getting ready in many locations in the Netherlands. We conducted walks in public spaces, documented the experience, and reflected on the transformations. Our walks have taken place in Eindhoven, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague, almost all at night.

for the final night walk—walk eight, we night walked between four queer bars in amsterdam. our team invited anyone to join. The idea is to pick up a flyer and a pen, then write on each other’s backs: one person records the path of the walk, while the other writes a memory. the flyers were printed at dpn rikken on igepa emotion pure white paper 300 g/m².
