Avans conducted a series of enlightening interviews exploring the impact of the new programme on the university. They interviewed Risk to learn more about their project, and Professor Michel van Dartel, of Caradt’s Situated Art and Design research group, to explain the relevance of PD programmes. They also interviewed Jacomine Ravensbergen, Vicevoorzitter College van Bestuur, who offered a broader view of the programme’s impact on Avans as a whole.

‘It is through the “not-knowing” that a stimulating and caring environment can be created to confidently share vulnerability.’
Risk Hazekamp is researcher in the Regenerative Art and Design research group of the Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology (Avans), the Art & Sustainability research group of the Research Centre Art & Society (Hanze) and the Centre of Design Research for Regenerative Material Ecologies (DREAM) at the Technical University Delft.
The research group Biobased Art and Design capitalises on the role of artistic practice in unlocking the unique potentials of living organisms for everyday materials and communicating these to a broader public. In doing so, the group aims to instigate and accelerate our widespread understanding, further development and usage of such materials. The group’s research approach encourages tangible interactions with the living organisms, such as algae, fungi, plants and bacteria, to explore and understand their unique qualities and constraints through diverse technical and creative methods taking artists, designers and scientists as equal and active partners in the material creation.
