The Joy of Collecting is a manifestation by Stichting Sieraden Collecties and Current Obsession filled with interesting lectures, Design Dates and Social Club sessions. During this afternoon we will look at the subject of collecting from a multidisciplinairy point of view surrounded by two exhibitions on collecting.

The day programme will begin at 13:00, with talks by art historian Liesbeth den Besten, philosopher Cees Leijenhorst, visual artist and collector Pet van de Luijtgaarden, curator Judith Torzillo, and assistant project manager at Modemuze, digital presentations curator, Lisa Whittle.

The key speakers’ presentations will be intervened by two rounds of DESIGN DATE, a live adaptation of a romantic TV programme, placed in a professional context; an entertaining format that shows how charming and being charmed can be an active part of our careers. DESIGN DATE is authored and moderated by Matylda Krzykowski.

The final stage of the manifestation is four editions of the Social Club – series of informal and dynamic conversations – dedicated to collecting and presenting jewellery.

After, its time for drinks, tunes and some good time. If we leave you craving for more, an optional dinner will be served for an extra fee of €30 (excl. drinks). You can order your dinner at the checkout of your ticket for the manifestation.
