BIO
Jeanne van Heeswijk is a visual artist who creates contexts for interaction in public spaces. Her projects distinguish themselves through a strong social engagement.
With her work, van Heeswijk stimulates and develops cultural production and creates new public (meeting-) spaces or remodels existing ones. To achieve this, she often works closely with artists, software developers, governments and citizens. She regularly lectures on topics such as urban renewal, participation and cultural production.
