‘Front-runner’ symposium at De Balie
De Balie is a prominent platform for discussions about art, culture and politics in Amsterdam.
In the series De Koplopers (The Front-runners), Teun van de Keuken meets people who are already putting the solutions of the future into practice. What can we learn from these front-runners? How do we translate their practical experience into political cooperation – so that the rest of the Netherlands (and possibly EU-wide) can also take part in the transition?
For this edition they turned to Hans Kalliwoda, known for his expertise in interdisciplinary collaborations in which art and science merge to bring about tangible change.
