I find your position in the Dutch art world inspiring.

You always remain true to yourself and therefore contribute something very beautiful and valuable to Amsterdam.

As a woman with a (female) gallery, you have been successful for a long time and show me what (female) leadership can look like.

You are a role model for me.

About

Ode by Tessa Bourguignon to Leyla Akinci

This woman deserves an ode because she is very modest, but she adds something beautiful to the cultural landscape of Amsterdam.

This ode was written during a visit to the exhibition Women of Amsterdam - an ode by students of the master's program Art History at Utrecht University.
