'The urgency of the ecological crisis – which, by the way, involves more than just climate change – makes it necessary to work together in an interdisciplinary manner.' (Hans Alma)
Existential Challenges
of Planetary Health
Artist-in-residency
Project Summary
I’m grateful to share that I have been awarded an artist-in-residence position to contribute to the research project Existential Challenges of Planetary Health (ECoPH). We began in November 2024, and the project is expected to be completed within five years.
​
In this inspiring project — guided by Professor of Spiritual Care Hans Alma v of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam’s Faculty of Religion and Theology, and Pim Martens, Professor of Planetary Health and Dean at Maastricht University College Venlo — we are working alongside PhD researchers Renée Robbers, Stephan Huijboom, and Evanne Nowak, postdoctoral researcher Lisa Doeland, and fellow artist Gijs Assman. Together, we are exploring how we might reimagine and revise our relationship with the Earth.
Viriditas (Verdant Vitality )
My artistic research focuses on how, inspired by the wisdom of plants and animals, we can create a shift in consciousness that leads to love for the Earth and all its life.
