Kijk op PGB
Jim has Down syndrome. During the week this family live like many Dutch families, but having a little boy with special needs is very intensive. A lot of the attention will always go to Jim. So every Saturday Bianca comes to take care of Jim. With the arrival of Bianca the Saturday of Emily also starts. She can go shopping for clothes or ask her father to build her new bed. The photo series of Jim and Emily shows them during “their” Saturday. Doing what they love best. A family with a special needs child faces many challenges, but an importnant one is keeping the balance within the family.
This series was part of the Project "Kijk op PGB", curated by Justine de Clercq and Kim Nuijen for I-shoot. The project was exhibited in 'Het Atrium", Stadhuis Den Haag (2014)
My thanks goes out to Yvette, Herbert, Jim and Emily for sharing their Saturdays!
