Manifold Encounters


Welcome to our installation Manifold Encounters!

Manifold Encounters is an immersive installation that sheds light on the ongoing refugee situation across the Netherlands and Europe. At its core, the installation features a large-scale, interactive 3D topographic puzzle, where pieces represent refugee camps scattered across the European landscape. Visitors are invited to engage with this puzzle, physically assembling the fragmented camps and symbolically integrating them into the broader geographical context of Europe and the Netherlands. 

As participants piece together the puzzle, they actively participate in an act of societal reflection, where refugees are metaphorically woven into the fabric of the continent. This tactile experience encourages visitors to consider the complexities of displacement, migration, and integration, emphasizing the importance of inclusion
and shared space.
