Every Thursday night a Detour Guide takes you on a free Detour through one of the exhibitions on display at Het Nieuwe Instituut. Discover design, digital culture and architecture from the perspective of your guide. Every Detour is different: you might end up working on a joint choreography or designing a space for insects.

7.30-9.00pm: ReShaping Architecture with Kokon, Bruil and Movares (Presentation, free)

A symposium organised by Kokon Architectuur & Stedenbouw, Bruil Prefab and advisor Movares about the development of the world's largest 3D concrete printed project, located in Den Helder. Together they discuss the development of this unique design and the design possibilities that this innovative technique brings to the construction industry.

7.30–9.30pm: Research Nights: Threads of Commonality with Sabrina Miller (Discussion, € 7,50/€ 3,75)

In the first edition of Research Nights, the Research team of Het Nieuwe Instituut invites artist Half Sister (Sabrina Miller) who will share Ways of Listening: a prelude, a project about Black music as a source of knowledge and a portal of transformation and healing. This work considers the power of storytelling through music and sound as sites and sources of knowledge and emboldens their potential as containers for collective therapy.
