All questions from the public will be welcome. If you want to join, please send an email to matteo@baltanlaboratories.org. A Zoom link will be sent as the event approaches.

    The Summer Camp
    The Summer Camp for Radical Hope, launched by Open Set and Baltan Laboratories and hosted in the agricultural space of Sengersbroek, is a call for designers, artists, cultural and social practitioners, and educators to enrich their creative practices and ongoing research in a collaborative, transdisciplinary manner. The 12-day research camp will take place on a farm – a site where theory and practice align – to allow participants to move through their own practices and rehearse new forms of relating, co-operating, working and living together within an ecological, political and sociological context.

    During the summer camp, several guests are invited to spend some time at the farm and share their perspectives on ecology, embodiment and economy. They will give lectures, host workshops and join the participants in their activities at the farm.

    First confirmed guests
    Susan Shuppli is an artist-researcher based in London whose work examines material evidence from war and conflict to environmental disasters and climate change. She is Director of the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths as well as affiliate artist-researcher and Board Chair of Forensic Architecture.

    Sandi Hilal is an artist, architect and researcher. She is currently Co-Director of DAAR, Decolonizing Architecture Art Research in Beit Sahour, Palestine. In 2012, she co-founded Campus in Camps: an experimental educational program hosted in the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem.

    Amenti is a community-based organization which focuses on building self-awareness through movement, dance, and knowledge. Ran and founded by artistic leader Gil Gomes Leal and creative producer Elia Vitadamo, Amenti strives to embody the spirit instead of spiritualizing the body.

    More guests will be announced soon
