SO FOR THE KICKSTARTERS TO CHOOSE FROM...

Gedachten Lezen (Read my steps) are workshops with residents and our poets and artists. We create poems together about their neighbourhoods and make them large and visible in all kinds of ways. A daily reminder of what you feel and want for your hood.

This one here was bringing the entrepeneurs from the super boring business park in contact with the residents around them: the poem on the frames is an ode to their interaction.

The words being deposited in our 'open-je-klepbus' (that's funny in Dutch!) became the poem in MOSS, placed high on the community farm building beyond reach of the goats!

 Then here we have the artists that we so want to promote with ArtMat, which is why we're doing a kickstarte: spread the artistic and CSR (in Dutch MVO) message

 

 

 

Woestijnroos: Art therapy: expressing yourself through art is considered childish and irrelevant by some cultures...un till you get the hang of it. Then you're hooked!

...showing how special and essential animals are in our life is also one of our aims with ArtMatters

 

 

....we have one of our participants writing down his thoughts on what he wants for his neighbourhood

The Vrijstaat has offered Gedachten Lezen an Artist in Residence so we can play and create with the neighbourhooders;>

There's more we'd like to show you...but we'll leave some room for you to think and choose!
