As part of the programme around the exhibition Touch Me, To See Us, on display at MAMA Rotterdam, artist Giovanni Maisto Ferreira invites psychiatrist, educator and politician Glenn Hellberg to the Nieuwe Instituut for a conversation about intimacy and healthy physical connection. Inspired by the idea of the womb as a primary safe haven, Giovanni researches the importance and power of connection between human beings and physical communication and presents their personal exploration in the form of the exhibition and accompanying programme. This evening will be moderated by Zareb Hoeve.

Touch'M
In 2021, Giovanni Maisto Ferreira organised a series of events in collaboration with artist OTION, Kunstinstituut Melly and the Nieuwe Instituut. The two artists' main focus was to use these events in order to start a conversation about non-sexual intimacy between men as a catalyst for healing.
The evening at Nieuwe Instituut consisted of conversations, performances and presentations, including a pop-up installation of Maisto's work which was created for their film Touch'M, after which the event was titled.
