Dutch term or phrase: Vloeken in de kerk
Een 'gewone' uitdrukking, maar what's the English equivalent? Unfortunately, no context available; this is another course available at 'Hogeschool Rotterdam', although I have absolutely no idea what to imagine here!

Explanation:
I would say that it is an art/media project and perhaps leave the original Dutch name or you could use my suggestion.
