Kunstlab + buren
Kunstlab + buren opens its doors for Groot Rotterdams Atelier Weekend 2026 (location 54 on the route map, Rotterdam South). Studios are open Sat 19 Sept and Sun 20 Sept, 12:00 to 18:00. Entry is free with a ticket reserved through GRAW; a voluntary contribution goes to the makers.
The small studio building at Bornerveld 169 in Zuidwijk has been active since 2017 and carries a
special, shared mission. Most of the artists connected to the space engage with the neighborhood and
its residents—young and old—through their practices. Kunstlab+ is the umbrella name for everything
we develop and organize together with children, parents, local residents, guest artists, partners, and
students. We work from the idea of “the studio as a collaborative learning environment,” where we
continuously reflect on and experiment with shared ownership and community building. Every
Saturday, the open studio Kunstlab takes place, where artists and children work side by side.
Since early 2023, a communal garden has been added: the green strip next to the building is being
developed in self-management by artists and neighbors as an extension of the studio under the name
Tuinlab. Here we explore ways of creating connection through art, research, nature, embodied
knowledge, getting our hands dirty, and learning about the origins of food.
Kunstlab and Tuinlab have now become embedded in the fabric of the neighborhood. The building at
Bornerveld is evolving as a collaborative initiative that we shape together.
