On 18 February 2021, architect Sean Leonard, the recipient of the first Tilting Axis/Het Nieuwe Instituut Research Fellowship, will present his research project on the relationship between architecture and water.Since the start of the fellowship, Leonard has kept a public journal exploring the culture of making and building in, around and in association with water, or what he describes as <a href="https://korjaal-ing.space" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">korjaal-ing.space</a>. This practice, which Leonard explores through conversations and sonic, written and pictorial landscapes, is at the core of the Ndyuka Maroons’ relationship with the Tapanahoni River in Suriname. For this event, joining Leonard in the conversation will be Andrea Andersson, founding diirector and chief curator of Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art &amp; Thought, and Dirk Sijmons, co-founder of H+N+S Landscape architects. The evening will be moderated by Erik Wong, designer, editor and co-curator of Het Nieuwe Instituut’s <a href="https://pluriverse.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Travelling Academy</a>.Research Fellowship ProgrammeHet Nieuwe Instituut and <a href="https://tiltingaxis.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tilting Axis </a>have joined forces to set up a <a href="https://tiltingaxisfellowship.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">fellowship programme</a> for applicants based in the Caribbean. This programme aims to develop, stimulate and visualise curatorial, design and artistic realities coming from the Caribbean region and enhance knowledge exchange and collaboration with a cross-section of Dutch cultural institutions.The fellowship is supported by Het Nieuwe Instituut as lead partner and host, and will include collaborations with Kunstinstituut Melly, De Appel, Amsterdam Museum and The Black Archives. A new iteration of the fellowship will be launched in spring 2021.Tilting AxisTilting Axis is a sustained arts platform for, from, across, and through the Caribbean. It is a call to action to rethink the position and conditions of contemporary art practices in the region. Its perspective, informed by artist-led initiatives within the archipelago, recognises this space as central rather than peripheral and is fed by multi-generational voices. Tilting Axis wants to build infrastructure which supports and sustains contemporary art practitioners in the region, and serves as a catalyst for creative projects and collaborations. Tilting Axis was co-founded in 2014 by Annalee Davis and Holly Bynoe.Sean LeonardSean Leonard is a practising architect who trained in London and works and lives in Trinidad and Tobago. He is one of the founding directors of the architecture practice co-rd Limited, and has held executive positions in the Trinidad and Tobago Institute of Architects and the Federation of Caribbean Associations of Architects. Leonard is also one of the founding directors of <a href="http://aliceyard.blogspot.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alice Yard</a> (2006), a contemporary art space located in Port-of-Spain. With the support of his practice and Alice Yard, he has been engaged in an ongoing exercise of conducting and compiling an audio archive of interviews of key professionals and players of the generation before him, who were critical in shaping the construction and experience of Trinidad and Tobago&#x27;s built environment.For more information on the event and the speakers, see <a href="https://thursdaynight.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en/activities/building-around-and-association-water" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">event page</a>.
