How does a plant live and feel? What can we learn from plants? And how can experience, conversations, and art help us explore new ways of understanding and living in connection? In this brand new podcast visual artist and master’s student Education in Arts Lobke Meekes and Mexican/Canadian researcher and curator Irene Urrutia will explore our relationship to plants. Listen the podcast in your favorite app or on our website.

The same Irene and Lobke developed an exciting workshop in which they will challenge you to investigate and reshape your relationship to plants through a series of questions and exercises. The discoveries and insights from the first part of the meeting will serve as a breeding ground for the second part, in which we will search for fertile ground for working together and tackling ecological problems—a terrestrial action!
Admission is free, just register via our website and get a duo ticket for yourself and your plant. Do you want to start the workshop well rooted? Then we suggest listening to the podcast How to Be With Plants? (see above).
Don't forget to dust off your plant!

Should eco-criticism become part of the curriculum at art academies and how do you do that? In our research on LAND we experienced that from contemporary art a sharp discussion can be held about climate breakdown. What does this actually mean for the artistic practice and the role that art academies play in this? Join the discussion with artists and teachers from various academies.

video essay | Future Justice
|
|
|
In the second video essay for Future Justice, Ai Nakatsuka shows how music can carry the revolution in a country plagued by conflict and poverty. While pursuing her master’s in Music Therapy at ArtEZ, Ai was involved in the Khartoum Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir Project in Sudan. A truly remarkable story about music, hope, and courage, against the backdrop of violence, conflict, and poverty.
