This route through the green rural north of Eindhoven is tailor-made for any cycling tourist. Most of the route winds between fields and forests. An effort was made to pick out as many quiet paved roads as possible in green North Brabant, but a few hundred meters of off-road here and there cannot be ruled out. Strava-artists know that this is peculiar to these types of routes. In this route, this was limited to 4 km of which the vast majority is compacted gravel that is doable with the race bike.
Starting in Eindhoven with coffee or thee, we make a bike ride of 70 km long ride in the shape of a heart in the nice green area in the North of Eindhoven. Ending at Artspace AUTO VITESSE, where you can enjoy the exhibition, a free Syrian meal, and connect with participants.
After-ride event with food & drinks at the finissage of the exhibition If I Must Die, You Must Live.
Palestinians are known for their hospitality and sense of community. This is reflected in our event, where artist Henk Visch and Irene Veenstra warmly welcome us. Their hospitality symbolizes Palestinian values of warmth and connection, emphasizing the importance of solidarity.
After the ride, we are warmly welcomed at Huis Henk Visch, where you can visit the exhibition If I Must Die, You Must Live, featuring poetry, posters, and artworks by Mosab Abu Toha, Refaat Alareer, Sliman Mansour, Yoshitomo Nara, and Henk Visch.
The exhibition offers a glimpse into the lives of Palestinians, whose existence is being destroyed as they suffer under Israel’s brutal, genocidal apartheid policies.
The title of the exhibition comes from the first two lines of the last poem published on Instagram by poet Refaat Alareer.
