eenZM Open Square

More and more of us are feeling lonely and disconnected from each other. The Zeeuws Museum wants to be a place that helps people to connect. To discover how we can achieve this, we are experimenting together with others.  

Abdijplein Middelburg

For the project eenZM Open Square, we’re using the Abdijplein (Abbey Square) for our quest. As it’s a public space, you don’t need a ticket or a reason to be in the square. You can simply be there, stroll around, watch what’s going on or start up a conversation. Using public spaces can help us to connect more, to collaborate and to be more considerate of others. This place belongs to no one and to everyone. We believe that artworks and other experiments in the square can help us to think creatively about what we need to feel more connected to each other. 

We meet once a month, whenever possible outdoors on the Abdijplein. During these meetings, we brainstorm and try things out. We talk, listen, create, eat or just hang out together. Everyone is welcome. Will you join us?

Dates Neighborhood Gatherings

We meet once a month. The following neighbourhood meetings are planned:

Welcome!

Get to know the eenZM Open Square and the Zeeuws Museum! The program details will follow.

Where do we miss connection?

During this neighbourhood meeting we will discuss themes we found important during previous neighbourhood meetings. These themes are:  

• Expressing yourself and being heard 

• Movement, mobility and being included  

• Caring for- and sharing with humans, animals and plants 

We will discuss each group of themes and try to come up with a question or solution we want to investigate further together with an artist or maker. Conversation illustrator Betina (Bord&Stift) will join us during this conversation and make a live-drawing.

Caring for- and sharing with humans, animals and plants

During this neighbourhood meeting we will deepen our discussion around caring and sharing. Artist Jonas Blijerveld will join our conversation. More details will follow.
