There is a theory that we are connected to every other person on Earth through up to six people. If you write down the names of these people, a network of intersecting roots slowly emerges. By moving between these roots, you come across new intersections that connect people, places, objects, colors, scents, or other elements.
In this Placeholder workshop, led by Kelly Martijn, we learn to trust our associative abilities as a navigation tool. We explore what a search for a cherished place or person reveals about ourselves, and how we can ultimately translate this into a drawing constructed from colored felt.
About Placeholder
With Placeholder, TENT Rotterdam introduces a new series of accessible gatherings for young adults aged 18 to 30. At a time when major societal issues often feel overwhelming, TENT, together with young Rotterdammers, aims to create a space where optimism, doubt, curiosity, and imagination can coexist. Placeholder invites people to come together, to talk, and to explore without pressure.
