On Friday, 24 March 2023, the exhibition Garden Futures: Designing with Nature opened at the Vitra Design Museum. The museum, in Weil am Rhein, Southern Germany, worked closely with the Nieuwe Instituut on the exhibition research and curation. In this exploration of the history and future of the modern garden, you can see contemporary community gardens, green façades and vertical urban farms, patio furniture and gardens by famous designers and artists such as Roberto Burle Marx, Jamaica Kinkaid , Mien Ruys and Derek Jarman. The exhibition design is by Studio Formafantasma.

The exhibition can be seen at the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam at the end of 2024. Catch the opening talks from the exhibition in Germany and read more about the project here.
