Who Owns the Economy, Really?
In the spacious, industrial exhibition area of Willem Twee and Tramkade in Den Bosch, the audience is engaged with this question through art at the Future of Work festival.
Artistic director Olga Mink and curator Godelieve Spaas share their motivations and describe their calling to contribute to a collective economy that promotes well-being for all, in harmony with the earth, through their artistic festival. The festival is no place for passive spectators.
Encircled by a collection of artworks, each making its own statement or inquiry about who really owns the economy, visitors are encouraged to challenge conventional economic perspectives. The festival is designed to spark a process of economic awareness. Olga: “It’s about providing visitors with the chance to actively engage through reflection and dialogue. Engaging with a theme and establishing a personal viewpoint are the initial steps towards active participation.”
