Research Festival Making (in) the Unforeseen

Jan 25 2023 Jan 27 2023

This event took place.

We’re happily looking back on three days of the Research Festival Making (in) the Unforeseen from January 25 - 27, 2023. The research culture at WdKA, which is sometimes bubbling under the surface, came out in three wonderful and exciting days. More than 40 people presented their work, hundreds of students followed lectures and workshops in doing research and we sold out the opening night at Het Nieuwe Instituut. The Research Station looks forward to building on this in the future!

What do you see when you look ahead? The future may seem to have already arrived, but it is something that we make together, within the limitations of the present and the given. That takes time, care, and attention – and making space for the unforeseen.
