PIS'TALK

Pis’talk: Using Urine in Smarter Ways is making a start this evening. Hosted by Willem, with speakers including Hugo Cortial who will talk about Metabolic's work with processing urine at De Ceuvel; Janna Coomans who researches the interplay between socio-political and bodily practices in the urban environment and André Marques Arsénio from TU Delft who is working on ways to reduce water shortage. It will surely be an interesting and informative evening.

CASTING DOUBTS

5 May will see the opening of Twijfel Zaaien Casting Doubts. Lasting until November this year, through answering the questions and sowing the seeds into the flower bed, we would be able to see Dijkspark coming alive over the summer. We have seen Alex, Eef and Eise working so hard outside through the rain and sun, and now everything is starting to look good! Looking forward to the opening!

5 MAY

On the same occasion as the opening of Casting Doubts, there is also the Freedom Meal to celebrate Liberation Day. It is a collaboration among us, Shaffy’s Tuin, Klimmuur and the inhabitants in this area. There will be vegetarian food, barbeque, snacks and oysters from Mediamatic. We have all got a shift scheduled for that day, so if there is any problems, please communicate with Anne or Ruben.
