After more than a decade of enriching collaborations, I left ArtEZ University of the Arts in 2022. It has been an honor to design and coordinate the week-long excursions to Vlieland (2011-2016) and Berlin (2011-2019) and the extensive multidisciplinary Winterlab (2019-2022) and Zomerlab METAMORFOSE (2021), PREPPEN (2020), BODYBUILDING (2019), PLANTEN (2018), DROPPING (2017), WALKING (2016), ITHAKA (2015). With these projects I prepared the ground for students and makers to thoroughly engage in playful processes and different ways of knowing outside the regular educational context. I have had the opportunity to offer (and discover) ways of engaging with topical matters such as hospitality, ecology, grief, decolonization, craftmanship, and communities throughout the years. Sharing time, attention and challenges as part of collective learning has been an essential element of my programs.
