How do you establish yourself as a designer? What makes a professional designer? How do you know how much your work is worth? How does that affect your own creative practice? Join us for a conversation on rewarding and sustainable design practices! As part of the Dutch Design Week 2023 in Eindhoven, EUNIC Netherlands is happy to present the third event of its Fair P(l)ay cycles. Fair P(l)ay is a series of events discussing sustainable remuneration practices in arts and culture with perspectives from international actors. The event is free of charge.
De Brakke Grond invites Ben Hagenaars (PhD) to join. He works as a designer, researcher and educator. He is the coordinator at the Product Design department of Luca School of Arts, located at campus C-mine, Genk (BE). As a strong advocate of sustainability, his post-doctoral research is dedicated to driving the transition towards a circular economy. He developed a circular design methodology called Circle Sector. As a member of the research group Interactions, he is the initiator of several Living Lab research projects such as Custom Territory and TransFormMaker where he collaborates with partners within the furniture and fashion industry.
The event will be followed by networking opportunities in a relaxed setting. Here, you can meet the speakers and invited professionals, as well as the event organizers who all represent a different national institute for culture. Present at the event are: Czech Centre Rotterdam, DutchCulture, the Embassy of Austria in the Netherlands, the Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux, Goethe-Institut Netherlands, Institut français NL, and Vlaams Cultuurhuis de Brakke Grond.
This event is organized by EUNIC Netherlands, in cooperation with the Dutch Design Foundation, the European Commission, and the Corps Consulaire of North Brabant. It is supported by the EUNIC Global Cluster Fund.
