Loom
Loom is a practice for cultural transformation. Loom develops open, experimental formats to help find and unlock the transformative potential of people, places and organisations.
Loom is grounded in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and links with an international network in the arts, culture, design, public policy, media and heritage, bringing together local situations and global issues.
Loom is Katía Truijen (curator, media researcher, educator and musician) Mark Minkjan (urban geographer and architecture critic) Michiel van Iersel (transdisciplinary instigator of new concepts and collaborations) Radna Rumping (curator, artist and advisor on contemporary art and culture) and René Boer (critic, curator and organizer in and beyond the fields of architecture, art, design and heritage), working in close collaboration with an evolving ecosystem of talented and established practitioners.
Artistic Method
Powered by dialogue and imagination, Loom provides reflections, propositions, rehearsals, and real-world alternatives that bring people together around urgent issues.
Building on years of experience and a wide-ranging expertise, Loom creates unexpected ties between independent initiatives and institutions, weaving together people and practices with roots in different worlds.
Loom facilitates conversations, conducts research, curates exhibitions and public programmes, publishes books, consults organisations and develops shared learning experiences.
