Event
22.06.2025: Polder Breebaart, Groningen, NL
Second walk in the series with Marjolijn Dijkman, Carla Alma, and Lotte Jensen.
‘Waker, Slaper, Dromer’ (Watcher, Sleeper, Dreamer) is a series of three walks named after the poetic names and functions of dike systems in the Netherlands. Here, the ‘watcher’ first protects against the outside water, and the inland ‘sleeper’ catches any breach. Behind this sleeper sometimes lies another ‘dreamer.’
These events connect artistic research, dike construction, ecology, philosophy, and regional history and offer an in-depth look at the landscape through contributions from various experts, each with their unique and local knowledge. These walks are organized by artist Marjolijn Dijkman as part of her WaterLANDS artist residency (2023-2026). She reflects on ecological restoration and depoldering in the context of the Ems-Dollard estuary and surrounding landscape in the North of the Netherlands.
