From Flint to Footprint - Unmaking

Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Ineke Hans and Ned Kaar

Three panel discussions with designers, makers, users and shakers, unearthing what it means to design with a footprint.

Area 51

Three early evening salons connect a research on human footprints by designers Ineke Hans and Ned Kaar, with Annemartine van Kesteren, curator and initiator of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen&#x27;s online expo &#x27;The Breakdown Economy&#x27;. How to &#x27;make&#x27; a sustainable society, how to learn from the past and how to get grip on rationales such life cycle assessments and footprints calculations? Is that possible at all? In public conversations in three different locations, changes in our ecological, social and economic footprints are discussed by various stakeholders in the current footprint debates that have been explicitly brought together: Designers &amp; Makers (producers) , Users &amp; Shakers (policymakers and trailblazers).The conversations are moderated by Ned Kaar.18.30 doors open, 19.00, start / drinks and nibbles availableSpeakers : Erik Klarenbeek (<a href="https://www.ericklarenbeek.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Klarenbeek &amp; Dros</a>)Petra Janssen (<a href="https://www.sociallabel.nl" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Social Label</a>)Ad Vlems (<a href="https://www.ecodorpboekel.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ecodorp Boekel</a>)Anke Verhagen (<a href="https://www.rabobank.nl/kennis/onze-experts/011116124/anke-verhagen" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rabobank</a>)Salon 2: UnmakingThe second salon will focus on key terms within discussions around sustainability such as circularity and biomaterials. New materials present alternative means of making without the use of fossil fuels, however the reality of a world made up of circular and bio-based materials still has some way to go. What is the role of collaboration in achieving sustainability goals and what are the challenges in moving toward a circular economy? How are certifications and standards impacting the practice of designers and makers? How might users see the forest for the trees and how can policymakers support this process?Backgrounds:Annemartine van Kesteren is curator of the exhibition The Breakdown Economy in Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in 2020.
