Debate on the future of Rotterdam with Cookies, Elfie Tromp and Urland
Rotterdam is perhaps the most diverse city in the Netherlands, and by 2025, it will become more diverse than ever. What does this mean for the city’s future? How does Rotterdam give form to this transformation? The range of diversity is one of the major issues of our time. What are its challenges and solutions? In a world of blurring boundaries, what will the city of the future look like, and what policies should it develop? On Wednesday 22 June at 20:00, artists, writers, and architects, including author Elfie Tromp, architecture collective Cookies and architect Ania Molenda talk about future scenarios for Rotterdam. The evening is moderated by independent curator Christine de Baan and Elfie Tromp and collective Urland will give a performance. The event takes place as part of the Utopian Dreams group exhibition, curated by Reyn van der Lugt, which features artists’ extraordinary plans and dreams for Rotterdam.
The range of diversity is one of the major issues of our time. What are its challenges and solutions?
