openbare werken — visual identity — 2025
Poster, program & digital announcement for ‘openbare werken 2025’, an art festival that invites you to (re)discover the city. Art practices emerge in places where you don't always expect them and engage with public space, explore relationships, and take root in squares – with the swamp as an undercurrent and nourishment and kinship as a common thread.

PUBLIEK PLANBURO — collective urban planning — 2024
Through ‘Publiek Plan board game’, we collected personal urban experiences of residents and urban professionals in Antwerp, Groningen and Ostend and used these to make three incomplete city maps.
These city maps served as an invitation to further map the city during a travelling Publiek Planburo, during which we met people from the city and supplemented the incomplete maps together. At the end of each Public Planning office we gathered around a large pachwork-map and shared our collected stories.
Publiek Plan was initiated by Elly Van Eeghem, developed within CAMPUSatelier, and created in collaboration with Maarten Jolie, Jorik De Wilde, Ferre Van Bogaert, Merel Stolker, Joram Kunde Boumkwo, Toon Verdonck, Rona Kennedy, Ilke Bautmans, Klara Vanstraelen and Lennert Janssens

PUBLIEK PLAN — board game — 2023
Publiek Plan board game initiates a conversation about the city we live in. It makes us think out loud about the streets, squares, parks we move through every day. By playing the game we trigger each other’s thoughts about our public space: where we meet and experience: today, as we remember it and as we would like it to be in the future.

Gent Bad — research & installation — 2023-25
While public open-air bathing places in Flanders are drastically shrinking and increasingly shifting to the private and holiday sphere, bathing culture had a strong presence in the urban landscape over the past century and was part of the daily living environment of the people of Ghent. Within a rapidly changing and diversifying urban context, this ongoing artistic research explores the current potential of these former public open-air bathing places.
The installation exhibited at ‘FORMAT 2023: Water Expeditions’ brought together a collection of diverse visual sources (photographs from city, museum and private archives, old architectural plans, satellite images, self-taken photographs, etc.). By cutting up these images and combining them in a spatial composition, the former public open-air bathing places of Ghent entered into dialogue with the current shortage of swimming water. Different layers of time came together and invited to reflect on future possibilities.
