Alles is Perspectief

In this second part, he dives deeper into identity, culture, and integration. This time with a renewed perspective: after 25 years, he returns to his homeland and views Iran through a Western lens. He explores politics, media, and welfare, offering a critical look at the Netherlands from a fresh viewpoint.

Perspective is everything. Integration, racism, and the role of the media form the core of this performance. Are migrants a burden or an opportunity? Are far-right youths hostile or simply afraid of what they stand to lose?

Saman Amini on Integratieplan #2: Alles is Perspectief

“Recently, I was in a taxi with a driver of Palestinian descent. He thought the Netherlands was fantastic. ‘Don’t you face racism?’ I asked. He laughed: ‘I sought asylum in Saudi Arabia, but they threw me into the desert. I nearly got eaten by snakes!’ His story made me realize how powerful it is to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Understanding your opposite – in a debate, a conflict, or a conversation – can bring people closer together. Maybe our pain doesn’t lie in what’s done to us, but in the feeling that no one understands us.”
