Exodus plot

In 'Exodus' (the exodus), city poet Dean Bowen paints a critical picture of Rotterdam that forgot its inhabitants. Forgot who feels at home here, and that home is little more than a place to be driven from. In 2006 the Rotterdam Act was introduced. This made it possible to refuse residents in specific neighborhoods below a certain income or education level. City poet Dean Bowen likens this gentrification to the Biblical Exodus, in which the Israelite people were driven out of Egypt by ten Biblical plagues. He not only blames Rotterdam for forgetting its inhabitants, but also blames himself, the inhabitants of the city and the viewer.
