  • Victor Horta and the Frison House in Brussels

    In the middle of the Lebeaustraat in Brussels, sandwiched between neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic houses, stands an Art Nouveau jewel designed by Victor Horta: the Frison House. It was
    commissioned by Maurice Frison, a lawyer and friend of the architect, and was built in 1894-1895. Horta designed not only the house, but also all its furniture and decoration, right down to the smallest detail: from door handles to marble fireplaces, from mosaic floors to elegant banisters, from wall lamps to the gratings for the cellar openings. The absolute eyecatcher is the winter garden, whose elegant design allows soft yellow light to flow subtly into its perfectly proportioned space.

    Nupur Tron is the author of this book and owner of the house. In recent years, she has breathed new life back into Horta’s masterpiece. She pieced together bits of the old chandeliers she found in one of the cellars. She had items of furniture designed by Horta lovingly restored. With great passion, she continues to search for the funds that will allow her to restore the entire house to its former glory, one step at a time.

    Horta and the Frison House in Brussels is an ode to the architect and his creation.

    Nupur Tron is from India. She studied Design, Marketing & Merchandising and Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She designs jewellery, in which the different styles of east and west meet in harmony.

    Op ús eigen wize

    Minderheidstalen en -kultueren moatte it faak ôflizze tsjin de oerhearsking fan dominante kultueren. By de fersprieding fan it kristendom wie meast gjin omtinken foar lytse talen, kultueren en folken, foaral net yn de perioade fan it Westerske kolonialisme. Yn de lêste 50 jier hawwe Afrikaanske kristenen heftich protestearre tsjin de antropologyske earmoed dy’t dat harren oplevere hat.
    Sy ûntdutsen yn it bibelboek Hannelingen fan de Apostels in folslein oare missionêre hâlding. Troch de analyze fan sân ferhalen besiket Hinne Wagenaar dy missionêre hâlding fierder op it spoar te kommen. Sa komt hy ta in teologyske basis foar tsjerke en spiritualiteit op in eigen wize. Net allinne foar Afrikaanske teology, mar likegoed om de kontoeren te jaan fan in Fryske teology.

    ds. Hinne Wagenaar (Nijemardum, 1962) hat studearre yn Grins en New York. Hy wie dûmny foar bûtenlânske studinten yn Nederlân (1990-1997), dosint systematyske teology yn Kumba, Kamerûn (1998-2002), dosint missiology yn Grins (2002-2005) en dûmny fan de Protestantske Gemeente te Wurdum en omkriten (2002-2012). Sûnt 2012 is hy as pionier-predikant ferbûn oan it pioniersplak Nijkleaster en de gemeente Westerwert te Jorwert.
