80 year historic cycle
18/11/2023 - 28/01/2024
Jan van Eden
(Voorburg, 1942) My birth in 1942 was the year that Russia invaded Ukraine on
its way to Berlin and the 2022 invasion woke me up to the idea of the 80 year
cycle with 20 year turnings as in the “Fourth Turning” of Strauss-Howe.
1945 - 1965 HIGH My first turning
started in 1945 with the liberation and peace after WW2. It was an upbeat period
of rebuilding Europe, rock and roll, space program and the making of the Dutch
welfare state. My carefree youth.
1965 – 1984 AWAKENING Martin
Luther King in the US, worldwide protests Vietnam war, decolonisation of Africa
and Asia. Rolling Stones, sexual liberation. Marriage with Pepa Santolaria in
1969 in Kalulushi (Zambia). 1984 -
2008 UNRAVELLING Industrial
disputes, Berlin wall, dissolution of Sovjet Union, 911, Afghanistan. Cuban
intervention in Angola resulting in the end of Apartheid in South Africa. We
settle in Amsteredam. Ending with financial crisis.
2008 – 2028 CRISIS Growing
inequality, housing, climate, pandemic, inflation, wars between great powers and
nuclear threat. Death of Pepa in 2015. Birth of artist generation Z , destined
to fix and repair the world in the next turning.
