At iArts, we explore how art, ecology, and societal challenges can intersect and inspire new ways of thinking.

Therefore we're proud that one of our projects, developed in collaboration with Jacqueline Heerema and Ronald Boer, has been featured in ELIA’s Arts & Ecology Community Hub: Green Initiatives Repository. 🌿

The project is included under “Envisioning Sustainable Futures” and reflects how iArts creates space for experimental, interdisciplinary, and ecologically engaged art education.

A visit to the Universität für angewandte Kunst in Vienna! 🇦🇹

Recently, Oscar and Cassidy went to the Universität für Kunst Wien, to meet up with the teams behind the interdisciplinary arts education in Vienna. During their two day visit, they connected especially with the teams behind the Transformation Studies ArtXScience and Cross-Disciplinary Strategies programmes.

"It was great to meet the people behind these exciting studies and to learn more about their approaches! We recognized the unique position of inter-/cross-/trans-/multi-disciplinary learning in the Arts at a BA level in Europe and the power in aligning on some fundamental ideas. Moving forward we are eager to discuss our ideas and approaches more, as well as providing exchange opportunities for our students and staff." - Oscar

We are excited to continue building this connection and look forward to what comes next!

iArts Year 2 students warmly invite you to join the exhibition called ‘4.500000000’ — 4.5 billion years, the estimated age of water on planet Earth. This exhibition is part of the finalization of the project Arts&Ecologies: On Water #3.

Why do we destroy what we love? As art students, do we contribute to the degradation of natural environments when we source wild clay from a local river? How do our cultural and spiritual upbringings—from different parts of the world—influence the way we approach artistic practice?

With these and other pressing questions, we invite you to join us in a series of gestures—through making, reflecting,

‘4.500000000’

Location: ENCI Lage Kanaaldijk 115 at the entrance of Academy of Architecture Hogeschool Zuyd.
Due to safety regulations, you will be welcomed at the gate and guided to the exhibition at Slakhal.
