Thursday Night Detour with Winston

Winston Nanlohy

In his work Winston focuses on film, concept development and research. For in-depth conversations on surveillance capitalism, feminist theories and social histories, Winston is the man of the hour. Not only can he talk about it, but he is also good at translating complicated theories to all audiences. His favourite things are travelling with his daughters, doing research and striking up conversations with people around him.

"During a Detour I want to use the knowledge of the group and the knowledge of the exhibitions at Het Nieuwe Instituut to find and create connections together."

Designing the Social: 100 years of idiosyncratic living in the Netherlands

How has design contributed to new forms of living, working, and communicating? This question is central to the exhibition _Designing the Social_. Designers, researchers, and curators have selected and reinterpreted pieces from heritage collections and archives to tell us a range of stories about a century of social design.

Thursday Night Detour

Every Thursday night a Detour Guide takes you on a free Detour through one of the exhibitions on display at Het Nieuwe Instituut. Discover design, digital culture and architecture from the perspective of your guide. Every Detour is different: you might end up working on a joint choreography or designing a space for insects.
