Description
Join a small group at Studio Margret Wibmer for a unique course using art to explore today’s urgent social and environmental questions. Through dialogue, reflection, and encounters with works by internationally renowned artists, participants develop new perspectives, strengthen critical inquiry, and discover how creative thinking can shape everyday life, work, and community.
A space for deep thinking, exchange, and connection — not a lecture-based course.
Date: Saturday 27 June 2026
Time: 18:00 – 20:00 + drinks afterwards
Location: Studio Margret Wibmer, KNSM-laan 153, Amsterdam (Loods 6)
Language: English
Price: € 50,–
Max. 8 participants
After a brief introduction to the Art for Impact method, participants will be introduced to the work of Singaporean artist Amanda Heng who represents Singapore at this year’s Venice Biennale. For more than three decades, she has explored themes of identity, the body, care, memory, and human relationships through performance, photography, installation, and participatory practice. Her work will serve as our starting point for dialogue and reflection on perception, ecology, social change, and collective imagination. This is not a lecture-based course, but a space for deep thinking, questioning and connection, using art as a catalyst. There are no specific requirements. Previous courses have included participants from fields such as sustainability, social equity, green finance, human rights, artists, art educations, curators, research psychologists and others.
Participants in the Summer Session will receive priority access to registration for the September course. For those who would like to continue with the full September series (1, 8, 15, 22 September), the participation fee for the Summer Session will be credited toward the course fee.
This course is offered by Studio Margret Wibmer in collaboration with the Institute for Cultural Activism International.
