Jeanne van Heeswijk

Jeanne van Heeswijk is an artist who facilitates the creation of dynamic and diversified public spaces in order to “radicalize the local”. She creates relational, dialogical and discursive processes, in which we can learn collectively how to engage with and act upon the world. Her large-scale community-embedded projects question art’s autonomy by combining performative actions, discussions and many other forms of organizing exchange to assist communities to control their own futures.
