We the Earth also turned out to be an unexpectedly well chosen choice during the search for a location. Because the forts that were originally in the picture turned out to have been occupied by animals before. Bea Nederhoff: “We were initially going to organize it again at Fort Het Hemeltje in Houten, just like two years ago. But in the meantime, badgers have come to live there and they are protected in the Netherlands. We then knocked on the door of Fort Honswijk in Schalkwijk. But you have a lot of bats there, we would disturb them too much. Now that we look back on it, it is actually funny that nature has ensured that we ended up at Fort de Batteries.”
