Collecting Otherwise

Projects

Drawing on the architecture collection under the Nieuwe Instituut’s management, Collecting Otherwise explores the possibilities for an alternative architectural, heritage and archival practice, one that reflects a society that is constantly changing. Following the previous editions Seen/Unseen (2021) and Post/De/Colonial (2022), 2023 is dedicated to The Tool Shed – the resources that can help to develop new ways of acquiring, classifying and exhibiting heritage.

A selection of projects initiated by or in collaboration with Collecting Otherwise.
