Green Cabinet

. 2017
. Rotterdam

This project is located in Schout Heynricstraat public square in the neighborhood Rotterdam Noord which contains beautiful greenery, a playground, a communal garden, benches, and parking lots. It particularly works on a cabin and garden next to it, a project called De Schout (initiated by Floris Visser with the support of Stad in de Maak and Gebiedscommissie Noord). The project aims to turn this tiny cabin (and its garden) into the smallest public (open) art space of the Rotterdam, called De Groene Kabinet (The Green Cabin).

At the heart of this project is creating a welcoming art space which engages the neighborhood, especially the young people, children, women, and elderly through indoor and outdoor activities guided by invited artists and young professionals working in the field of art and culture.

* The cabin was shared with Doe Het Zelf Werkplaats following their eviction, which remains to this day the bike workshop’s space and expanding.
