New Canterbury Tales

Immersive Storytelling as a Design Method for joint future creation

Meet Our Partners

This project started as a collaboration between Avans Hogeschool |Communication and Multimedia Design and Anglia Ruskin University | Cambridge School of Art. For our funding by Click-NL, we found more partners both inside and outside the academic field.

Participating Artists

Maarten Bel and Kate Studley joined this project through KOP and worked on an event we created for the New Canterbury Tales project.

Maarten Bel

Maarten alienates his audience from their routine by addressing weighty themes in a light-hearted manner, for which he is often inspired by everyday events.

Kate Studley

The meaning of material is an essential part of Studley's practice. Her work aims to use environmentally conscious materials which biodegrade, avoiding destruction to their surroundings.
