(T)issues

A story about sneezing in (T)issues because of plant allergies. What is flying in the air we breathe? This question was raised in Tutti Frutti Dorp, a neighborhood in Amsterdam Noord. This neighborhood was the inspiration to question urban landscaping and plant language. A new answer is found in a dream about a Botanical Milk Bar. A drink made for you by a group of milkmaids to taste how fluid the botanical world can be, if we let her.

Eva van der Zand is part of Rietveld Review(ed) 2021. She is one of the nine graduates who was chosen by an independent, external committee during the Graduation Show 2021. This committee was asked to reflect on the Graduation Show as a whole and to signal current tendencies and themes within the exhibition. They selected a number of projects by graduating students that supported these observations. These graduates have been given the opportunity to show new work to a new audience in the academic year of 2021/2022.
