Tuinkamer Projects

Tuinkamer Projects is a monthly expo series held in the titular Tuinkamer of De Kurk.

Over the course of 2026, creatives from our community will be showcasing their work and process with the Tuinkamer Projects - from textile to metal, photography to poetry, this is a platform to show and share in each others creative worlds.

Alongside many of the shows are workshops and events to join and enjoy. Collage making, porn writing, live drawing and pop-up shops are all on the agenda.

Silent Dogs Bite II continues from part I, but buries it beneath the skin. What begins as silence between two people settles into nerves, teeth, bones, and the spaces we inhabit. Dogs no longer guard our experiences aggressively; they sleep inside cavities with one eye open, appear in unexpected reflections, and linger in forgotten corners. These new works trace how decay becomes strangely inhabitable long before the discomfort can be named.

‘In my recent collages, I place bodies in space, where identity becomes fluid rather than confined by gender, representation or power. Responding to the male gaze, I question who looks and who is seen. Through fragmented bodies, textures and extraterrestrial elements, the body emerges not as an object but as a universe of its own. Using collage as appropriation, I reclaim the body as belonging to itself. Space becomes a metaphor for queer and other liminal spaces where new forms of visibility, autonomy and belonging can emerge.’
