Visual artist Aimee Zito Lema (1982, NL/Arg) presents a dialoque with two generations within her own family; her grandmother Fien Bergmeijer - Sanders (NL, 1921) and her cousin Alessia Bergmeijer (IT/NL, 1994). Zito Lema undertakes a conversation with both of them about learning processes, art and life.
