SOCIAL DESIGN & CO-CREATION
The DOOR Project
is a platform where people who have been denied a residence permit and people with residence permit explore together what we can do for a more inclusive life for those of us who are without a residence permit. We use art to explore and create new possibilities. We are building a new space, an atelier, where we teach learn, develop, make and sell products. We work on finding new possibilities. We create, co-create, we do research, we listen to what is really needed and have developments arise. Exploring, open to the unexpected, we take direction, we listen, explore again and adjust our ways. So we can come to real needed social change. A change that gives people the possibility to become self-sufficient, getting back control over their lives, moving out of the zones where they are left to their own devices and become included in our society, in their society.
The BAM Collective
is a social design project. Using art we created a new structure that is very much needed: a coopertative of craftspeople and artists without residence permit. Through the collective the makers display their products and have the possibility to make a living in a legal way.
RECLAIM YOUR SPACE
In this project women without residence permit intervene in my art, telling about their lives, about talents, disappointments, pain, love and longings. Reclaim Your Space is a participatory art project, in which co-creeation is leading. We did workshops and it resulted in an exhibition: together with Patricia de Ruijter we made a duo-exhibition called “Reclaim your Space meets She the Jungle”
