Klei Kunst Route - Dit project is een route met kunst gemaakt door bewoners en bezoekers van de Tarwewijk op zaterdag 29 juli 2023 tijdens een workshop kleien van Jorien Ketelaar & Floor van Meeuwen. De workshop was onderdeel van het zomerprogramma van de Alle Kunsten Thuis Markt van de CultuurWerkplaats Tarwewijk (CWT) in het kader van Zomer op Zuid. Alle kleine sculpturen zijn gemaakt in relatie tot de buurt. Deze zijn daarna afgebakken en geglazuurd bij atelier MIX in oud- Charlois. De sculpturen zijn door de Tarwewijk geplakt, en zo is een zoektocht ontstaan. Alle locaties en titels zijn gekozen door de makers. De tijdelijkheid van dit project is onderdeel van de route. De sculpturen op allerlei plekken in de wijk zijn lastig te vinden en verdwijnen met de tijd. Verpakt als speurtocht wordt er op een andere manier naar de wijk gekeken. De routekaart is gratis te verkrijgen bij de CWT.
Sobremesa 1/2 - The time spend after dinner at the table is the English translation of the spanish word "Sobremesa". Through various forms of research the project Sobremesa came in to being. 1: research on "understanding the materiality and the invisible environmental impact of self-publishing" in the thesis, 2: publishing a collection of thoughts for/how self-publishers (to) balance the struggle of publishing in the climate crisis era and 3: gathering all contemplations from the previous to create an open communal space in the shape of a dining and reading table. The end product, the table, serves as a publication itself. With traces of texts engraved on the surface. The focus in the whole project is on re-using materials. A thoughtfull sobremesa is created by emphasizing on sharing publications, all the wood collected from trash en serving leftover food.
PZI newspaper: The Piet - Through PZI Archipelago, a student led initiative started in 2021 at PZI/ WdKA, I initiated a physical newspaper for current students and alumni with the sole purpose to publish, showcase and spread information along all PZI members due to the lack of institutional communication mediums.
Worm Pirate Bay: Paper A.S.M.R. on Worm Radio - Monthly radio show I host for Worm Pirate Bay on Worm Radio where I mumble about zines with guests or a strange concept.
Yin Yang: a collection of thoughts for/how self-publishers (to) balance the struggle of publishing in the climate crisis era - This publication arose from an open call I set up for questioning fellow publishers how they personally deal with their material imprint when making zines/books or other materials. With 21 contributions from various countries this publications shows a glimpse of feelings from the publishing world. The design is heavenly text densed to minimise paper for printing. Special rules are added to minimise ink use and question the impact of publishing. This publication is part of my graduation work at XPUB PZI 2022. 220 copies.
