Research Festival: Making in the Unforeseen

This event is a collaboration between Willem de Kooning Academy and Het Nieuwe Instituut, and is the opening event of the Research Festival Making (in) the Unforeseen of WdKA which takes place from 25 January through 27 January 2023 in Rotterdam. What do you see when you look ahead? The future may seem to have already arrived, but it is something that we make together, within the limitations of the present and the given. That takes time, care, and attention – and making space for the unforeseen.

This event will also be broadcasted via livestream.
