Agents of Change, Summer Program, Ongemakkelijk Diner, (Drents Dorp). July 26th, 2016. The 80′s: Today’s beginnings? at Van Abbemuseum.
The Ongemakkelijk Diner is a social design project from the Eindhoven district Drents Dorp. It all started with designing uncomfortable table wear but it soon evolved to the evening program Ongemakkelijk Diner. Locals from Drents Dorp invite and challenge visitors to see things differently, to communicate differently and to let go of control. Exciting, provocative, funny and mostly uncomfortable. While gathering all local inhabitants and improving the neighbourhood, this project combines the social with the artistic. The revenues of the events are used for new projects for Drents Dorp. The Ongemakkelijk Diner is a cooperation of CKE, Woonbedrijf, designer Bianca van Rooij, inhabitants Marianne Slegers and Aafke Dohmen and Esther van de Graaff, and a large group of volunteers from the neighbourhood.
