WIE IS NATUUR? WHO IS NATURE? TKO JE PROPODA? WA IS NATUER?
In 2018 we rethink our perceptions of culture and nature.
During the year Satellietgroep invites artists, designers, scientists and local experts to share their perspectives.
The program starts with introductions of topics and guests. You are warmly invited to join!
Are you nature?

Location: Zandmotor
Time: 13:00-17:00
The upcoming Re-scape colloquium of the Centre for Global Heritage and Environment & CLUE+ Research Centre VU will take the form of a exploration on location. Artist Jacqueline Heerema of Satellietgroep will guide us through the historic dunes on to the Zandmotor, an experiment in new coastal defense strategies off the Dutch coast
near Kijkduin, called Building with Nature. Satellietgroep redefined the Zandmotor as a cultural phenomenon. A learning environment for new perceptions of the shifting relations between culture and nature.
The central question will be: Who is nature?

Artists collective Satellietgroep (The Hague, 2006) explores through
arts the social and ecological impact of the sea and coastal transitions
on cities, people, communities and environments, and vice versa the
influence of mankind on coastal transitions and climate change in The
Netherlands and abroad. Our aim is to enhance public and professional
awareness. Satellietgroep hosts artists in
residents for artistic fieldwork, collaborate with locals and experts and
develop new concepts and works that reflect the resilience of
coexistence of man and water, in past, present and future.
Long term projects are 'Badgast' - artist in residency program at The
Hague/Scheveningen (2009-2014), 'Now Wakes The Sea', the international
exchange residency program in collaboration with international cultural
partners (since 2012). Since 2014 Satellietgroep develops the first artistic research on the Zandmotor, the newest innovation on coastal protection, called Building with Nature. In these programs artist in residencies are used as a research method to enable artists, designers, students and scientists to do fieldwork and to work on site with local partners, coastal communities and experts in order to map out and research the current status of coastal transitions and to generate new narratives and perspectives. The programs function as an alternative source for collecting. New concepts and works are developed that we connect and contextualize with reference works for public events like expeditions, exhibitions, workshops and presentations at expert conferences, often outside the artistic domain. Artist in residents are invited to critically explore and visualize the zones of coexistence of man and water and reveal different perspectives. By interconnecting coastal communities, arts and science we share local knowledge on global level to gain sustainable insights on coastal transitions that transcend local and national issues.
