A Bed, a Chair, and a Table is a publication about the Poortgebouw, a former squat and vibrant living community located in the South of Rotterdam. In this book, oral histories from inside and outside the building are interlaced with material from various institutional and personal archives. By bringing together these tales of resilience, political struggle, frustration and friendship, with historical documents, this book brings forward new perspectives about Poortgebouw's unique history and its importance in the contemporary city.
My focus in working on this publication was collecting stories and interviews from people with a strong connection to the Poortgebouw. These voices were then interlaced together to create a narrative, and to build the story of Poortgebouw's past 30 years, as well as its future.
This publication was developed together with Natasha Berting, Angeliki Diakrousi, Joca van der Horst, Alex Roidl, Elisa Chaudet and Zalán Szakács.

Upsetting Settings, Collected Works presents graduation theses from the 2019 graduates of the Piet Zwart Institute, Experimental Publishing. The publication was launched within the graduation show Upsetting Settings, at UBIK Rotterdam. The concept behind 'Upsetting settings' arises from the defaults of technology. In every system there are settings predefined by its creators, that most of the time stay untouched by us, as users. It's their default, not ours, but it's up to us to change it. Society is made of similar preset frameworks that we take for granted. The projects in this exhibition engage with these different default modes and intervene in their core structure/source/root.
-My graduation thesis, Your Body Will Make Itself Heard, deals with the meal replacement phenomenon occurring in Western countries, within a culture that falls under the sphere of influence of the startup world, driven by entrepreneurial values and libertarian views. To understand the way the role of food is being transformed by technology companies, I follow a path through the history of cooking and gender roles in food preparation, the role technology has in food culture and the way Silicon Valley is appropriating food traditions and knowledge in creating new consumer products for the privileged. At the same time, I explore the potential of future food innovations, in the context of ever increasing abstraction and commodification of food and the labour of cooking.

It is both an experiment and a working prototype for a distributed network catalogue and library that you can run and install on several machines and share/synchronise with the same bibliographical database.Initially developed as a in-house tool for the XPUB course, XPPL is a project aimed at people who are studying within and outside formal education. XPPL provides a web interface and hosts a curated catalogue of books and articles. Its distributed architecture is open to instances of uploading and downloading, and allows for the collective editing of its content. In XPPL, librarians can add, and modify small collections of books that are connected by threads of thought, or follow a certain thematic or study path.
My main focus within the library revolved around the notion of stacks. Rather than a bookshelf in a library, where books are lined up and often forgotten, the stacks on your table/nightstand/bathroom floor consist of books prone to be opened and reopened at any time. The stacks in XPPL are visible for others in the network to browse, annotate, update or shuffle.
