★ STRP // Eindhoven
explores the relationship between art, technology, and major societal issues with the general public, artists, designers, media makers, and thinkers. The Eindhoven-based organisation starts a dialogue about speculative future scenarios with various events throughout the year and an annual festival in Spring.
↳ I attended it in 2023 - the theme was "the art of listening" and was 100% connected to my ongoing master's research. Loved the way it was organised and had a great time during the evening line-up, curated by Loma Doom.
