Caradt-onderzoeker Laurens Kolks gaf vorige week een workshop Publiceren in de Publieke Ruimte aan studenten van de opleiding Grafisch| Ruimtelijk Ontwerp van AKV|St.Joost. De workshop resulteerde in een ‘talige’ expositie in een leegstaande ruimte in het Station Breda CS. Wethouder Marianne de Bie van de gemeente Breda opende de expositie afgelopen vrijdag.
