artistiek onderzoek - documentair - educatie - sociaal-maatschappelijk - taal
Ricky Doornbos is a documentary artist with a keen interest in cultural history, blending this passion with his expertise in education. Juggling roles as an artist, art educator and primary school teacher, language has emerged as a central theme, a dynamic link connecting overlapping professions. As an artist, Ricky's work is a mixture of visual exploration and research of diverse cultural narratives. Simply put: both visual language like arts, our various cultural histories and 'traditional' educational forms of language such as reading, listening, speaking and writing are all ways of telling stories. Ricky believes that by exploring and expanding what we mean by language, we can discover a more diverse and meaningful way of expressing ourselves.
