Bey was asked to make a selection of projects and artworks in order to question the definition of social design and to create a platform showing how critical art may kick off a dialogue about social issues. During “Onzijn” the building and direct vicinity of WOW transform into one big exhibition space.

The exhibition takes place in and around WOW’s building in the Kolenkitbuurt in Amsterdam West and puts this unique location at its heart: hotel, art factory, meeting place. Each designer stands for his/her own theme and have been selected by guest curator Jurgen Bey, director of the Sandberg Institute and designer at Studio Makkink & Bey. The result is a temporary habitat for both the hotel guests and the artists, who play with the characteristics of the place, the potential for community and short-lived togetherness.
