Bubble Trouble at Dutch Design Week 2023
“Bubble Trouble” takes the symbolic representation of the bubble—a space of comfort and sterility—to reflect on our collective tendency to isolate ourselves from uncertainties. Once a symbol of safety within our constructed realities, bubbles can have profound consequences, such as housing bubble disparities and social segregation.
Dates:
21.10 - 29.20.2023
Location:
Koelhuis Eindhoven
As Koelhuis transforms from the former Campina freezer warehouse into a new cultural and tech hub for Immersive Experiences (IX), we take a moment to reflect on the act of making and breaking the bubbles that define our existence and our role within them. Seeking to avoid creating yet another bubble, we initiate a dialogue about preserving industrial heritage, artists' societal roles, Koelhuis Districts’ stance on gentrification, and our ambitions for affordable housing, talent retention, and urban revitalization through arts and culture.
