Uncertainty Seminars

2019
Stroom Den Haag
Identity, web and exhibition design
Playground embracing vulnerability, closeness, inclusion, and imagination through collective doubt, collision, friction, and hesitation.

Visual identity and stage design for performances and lectures featuring a fictional poetic map–a large playground called The Map of Scattered Society. This geography of imaginary places activated by happenings expands the concept of uncertainty as a critical tool through the means of performative design. For Stroom Den Haag.
