For many, the rising cost of living has made it so unaffordable that they are forced to physically relocate. For those who can manage to stay, their surroundings are fundamentally altered as small businesses are replaced by large corporations and feelings of tight-knit community are threatened by ever-growing populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rising costs and commercialization associated with gentrification are not just altering the physical landscape, but also the cultural and emotional connections residents have to their home. That being said, long-term residents remain steadfast and resilient despite both development and displacement pressures. Through various resilience and resistance practices, Outer Banks inhabitants maintain a strong love of place.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-c06fb7c9\">\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-db7328ec\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Poster-Shifting-Sands.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Poster-Shifting-Sands.jpg\" class=\"gb-image-db7328ec\" alt=\"Poster - Shifting Sands\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Poster-Shifting-Sands.jpg 960w, https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Poster-Shifting-Sands-512x288.jpg 512w, https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Poster-Shifting-Sands-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-035a9faa gb-headline-text\">Bio<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b7e3155d luve-pro-wrap\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d0f07dd5\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-a5b2b0c3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-a5b2b0c3\" src=\"https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Muriel-Kruize.jpg\" alt=\"Muriel Kruize\" title=\"Muriel Kruize\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Muriel-Kruize.jpg 960w, https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Muriel-Kruize-384x512.jpg 384w, https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Muriel-Kruize-576x768.jpg 576w, https:\/\/luvefest.nl\/luve2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Muriel-Kruize-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-189d3285\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hello! My name is Muriel Kruize. I was born in Alexandria, Virginia and have spent most of my upbringing between there and Burkina Faso, Rwanda, and Zambia. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts &amp; Sciences from Maastricht University and soon a Master of Science in Visual Ethnography from Leiden University. My parents, Amy and Eric, have instilled in me a sense of justice, openness, and kindness that I try to carry with me in all aspects of my personal and professional life. I hope to continue building community, listening to stories, and adapting to change in a way that makes my family and friends proud.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My research and film explore the experiences of several long-term residents of the Outer Banks of North Carolina as they navigate change associated with overdevelopment and gentrification.
