Have we met? The Detour Guides
Het Nieuwe Instituut presents the exhibition Have we met?_ humans and non-humans on common ground_, the official Dutch contribution to the 23rd International Exhibition Triennale Milano, which is on show until 11 December 2022 in Milan. The overall theme of Triennale Milano this year is Unknown Unknowns.
Each Detour Guide brings their unique perspective as a dancer, teacher or designer to these hour-long tours one Sunday every month. In collaboration with the Triennale di Milano, Het Nieuwe Instituut expands its Detours to include local Milanese makers trained by the Dutch team.
