Situated Art and Design researcher, Sarah Lugthart, together with Nina Kramer, from the Lectoraat Duurzaam Gebouwde Omgeving, will contribute with two workshops, titled ‘Future Scenarios’, during the New Canterbury Tales exhibition, from Sept 22 until Oct 22, at the Stedelijk Museum Breda
Date: Oct 1st
Theme: (the role of) Museums in 2070
Has the museum of 2070 become an amusement park? Have entire cities become museums? What do you think?
Date: Oct 15th
Theme: Daily Life in the City
We look beyond the grand scheme of things, and look at the mundane, daily life: what is it like to get up in the morning, how do you make food, work and play? What does these little daily rituals mean to you?
What will the city look like in almost 50 years? What will we notice about this in our daily lives and what conflicts can arise? These questions are central to New Canterbury Tales, a research project initiated by teacher and researcher Nina Kramer, from the Lectoraat Duurzaam Gebouwde Omgeving (Sustainable Built Environment research group) at Avans University of Applied Sciences. The project is currently on display at the Stedelijk Museum Breda, until October 22nd. By immersing the audience in compelling stories, Nina wants to jointly develop new visions of the future. The emphasis is on designing with people, not for people.
“What do we consider desirable and undesirable together? We want to have that dialogue.” – Nina Kramer

‘The tacit and embodied knowledge of practitioners about the complex reality of design can provide an important resource to innovate how we learn and teach’
Sarah Lugthart developed ethnographic methods to study immersive XR experiences and explored storytelling as a joint future-creation tool at CARADT. As a PhD candidate at the University of Porto, she blends theory and practice in immersive learning, contributing significantly to digital media and education.
The research group Situated Art, Design and Technology (SADT) focuses on the societal embedding and embodiment of knowledge production that art and design research enables. The conducted research contributes to a deeper understanding of technological developments and their impact on people, society, and the environment, and to the development of situated approaches in the creative sector and beyond. In doing so, it advances a wider acknowledgement of artistic and design research as a mode of knowledge production, one that is grounded in creativity and critical imagination as a way of generating insight into, and intervening in, societal transitions driven by technology.
