We are excited to announce our upcoming exhibition ‘Pollinators,’ showcasing beautiful works of insects that play a crucial role in ecosystems by facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants through pollination.
In tandem with this exhibition, we will be organizing a number of educational workshops and events where experts in the field will teach us more on the subject and how to tackle the decline of these vital insects.
We will display impressive, large scale photo prints of butterflies and beetles by artist duo Monique and Patrick Shaw. The mother and son duo Shaw.art specialize in a laborious macrophotography technique called focus stacking, where many images are painstakingly combined for extremely detailed outcomes.
Juxtaposed with these prints, we will present colorful, handcrafted paper art insects made from recycled paper, created by Studio ROOF, a Dutch design studio based in Amsterdam.
Join us for the exhibition opening on the 10th of May 2024. 6 - 9 pm.
‘Pollinators’ will be on view from 2nd of May until 9th of June.
In line with our educational program, we will be organizing urban expeditions led by evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen and Maaike de Voogd from Taxon Expeditions. This immersive experience will reveal the hidden ecosystem within the city, deepening your appreciation for the intricate biodiversity which has adapted alongside us. Moreover, we invite you to join us for an engaging and informative dinner evening, where the collective Kaati Kookt will serve you a flavorful menu showcasing foods reliant on pollinators, while local expert ecologists provide you with profound insights into the dynamics and changes of the ecosystem.
