Sunday Stroll with Joëlle
Join us for a free Sunday Stroll on 5 September at 2pm, where detour guide Joëlle Hoogendoorn will show us around the exhibitions 'Temporary House of Home' and 'Designing the Social'. Using her perspective as an artist and educator, this detour will be an interactive one. Come along and discover the exhibitions from her point of view.
5 September 2021 14:00 - 15:00
The exhibition _Temporary House of Home_ explores how our thinking about domestic interiors and design has evolved over the past decades. What makes a house a home? The exhibition is a labyrinth of rooms, each of which answers the question in a different way. Due to the pandemic, a 'home' has become an office, classroom, restaurant, and hospital, in addition to being a safe haven. In this exhibition, these and other developments in domestic design are addressed.
During this Sunday Stroll, we will also visit the exhibition _Designing the Social_. How has design contributed to new forms of living, working, and communicating? This question is central to the exhibition. Designers, researchers, and curators have selected and reinterpreted pieces from heritage collections and archives to tell us an assortment of stories about a century of social design.
"I like to take the visitor on a journey with the stories I tell. My goal is to make people feel enthusiastic and have them leave feeling satisfied with the experience."
Joëlle Hoogendoorn is a huge fan of the visual arts. As well as being a passionate artist herself, she is also an art teacher and exhibition visitor and provides a home for a large collection of art books.
