Creativiteit is ons beste wapen 2024
Book presentation on creative processes by Danielle Wanders.
Those who understand their own creativity better can use it in a more targeted way. Creativity is about forming a vision, gaining insight in order to get a better grip on the development of yourself, your service or organisation. At this juncture, we need the use of creative processes to explore possibilities, not only for the arts but also for the social issues of our time.

Danielle Wanders, advisor for creative processes

Artist Talk Oude Kerk
in collaboration with Red Light Arts & Culture
Special evening opening Oude Kerk during sunset.

September 24 till October 23, 2022
The Walk - Oude Kerk Amsterdam
In the Oude Kerk, light and illumination have had an important and often symbolic meaning throughout history. This autumn, artist Titia Ex presents her light artwork The Walk in search of a meaningful relationship with the church space. A large globe shape hangs in the axis of the church. The lights enhance the dynamics of the space, then again the work accentuates the hushed atmosphere. Ex draws on Dante Alighieri’s stories about his journey to and through the underworld. In his book La Divina Commedia, he describes a desperate quest through a dark forest full of torments in search of happiness and meaning.

In attendance were several descendants of rescued Jews, including the daughter and grandson of Nathan Gutwirth. Dutch citizen, 23 years old at that time and student at the Telshe Yeshivah in Lithuania, and the granddaughter of the Polish refugee Abraham Liwer. Thanks to the visa, he was able to rescue his wife and daughter from a Soviet camp in the Urals.
