A conversation on the experimental community centre 't Karregat from the 1970s by Frank van Klingeren.

Het Nieuwe Instituut

In the third event in the Social Talks series, several guests, including artist Uta Eisenreich, artist Wendelien van Oldenborgh and architect Piet Vollaard will conduct a &#x27;conversation of the social&#x27; concerning a controversial experiment in social design from the 1970s: the multifunctional, user-driven community centre &#x27;t Karregat (1974) by architect Frank van Klingeren.This conversation will commence from rare fragments of news reports and documentaries from the time about this experimental community centre. This point of departure leads to speculations on current and future forms of collectivity and cohabitation. Is the agora – a shared physical space for assembly and discussion – missing in our current polarised and atomised society? Does democracy exist by virtue of physical social contact? How can ‘the design of the social’ enable such physical interaction? Or can democracy flourish through digital interaction alone? The talk will be followed by a screening of Wendelien van Oldenborgh&#x27;s Beauty and the Right to the Ugly (2014), about &#x27;t Karregat. Visitors are welcome to have a look at the related Community Centre room in our current exhibition Designing the Social. Entrance to the exhibition is free during the Thursday Night Live!For more information about the speakers and the Thursday Night Live! series Social Talks, visit <a href="https://thursdaynight.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en/activities/community-centre-forms-fellowship" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">our website</a>.
