  Reinventing Cultural Architecture: A Radical Vision by OPEN
  Book launch (Free)

Join us for the book launch Reinventing Cultural Architecture: A Radical Vision by OPEN (Rizzoli, 2022). The founders of OPEN Architecture, Li Hu and Huang Wenjing, will present recent public and cultural projects by the Beijing-based design practice, including those presented in the new book. Besides the struggles and breakthroughs associated with each of their projects, Li and Huang will share how they see architecture as the means to connect -- with different people, with nature and, ultimately, with ourselves.

  CANCELLED: Thursday Night Detour
  (Free, max 12 participants)

Every Thursday night a Detour Guide takes you on a free Detour through one of the exhibitions on display at Het Nieuwe Instituut.

  Collecting Otherwise: Anarrangment
  Lecture & Conversation (Free)

Collecting Otherwise welcomes Working Group Member Joseph Steele for a round table that brings together international curators, historians and artists for a conversation about the diverse unconventional angles they take in regards to curation. What is the role of a curator, if an artist takes over the curator's role? With guest speakers Vivian Ziherl, Jo-Lene Ong, and Dr. Thomas Berghuis. For more information about the round table, visit the webmagazine of Collecting Otherwise.

• 8-9.30pm
  ****CANCELLED: **Inclusief Groen (Green Inclusivity) **
  Clinic (€ 7,50/€ 3,75)

Come by with all your questions regarding greenery! During this Thursday Night Live! we invite three organisations (Stichting Groengoed, Buro Walden and STEK) to teach us more about being green-inclusive and how to colour outside the lines. In what ways can we embrace green? What interventions could work for your garden, balcony or roof? This interactive evening will be filled with tips and tricks on how you and your community can contribute to a more green-inclusive living environment for humans and nature.
