Minor Cultural Diversity

From October 2017 I’m lecturing Cultural Diversity / New Urban Dynamics for third year students minor Social Practices at Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam. The practices focus on art and design that impacts societal issues by (re)designing processes, interactions and relationships, involving participants in the design process.

Design anthropology is an approach that explores global forces and enables forms of participatory engagement. In this emerging field of artistic and human centered inquiry Tina Lenz creates zones of improvisation and invites people into a design process. Existing conditions, places and rituals are collectively mapped, visualized and reimagined to discover possible alternative futures. Tina did her masters at Sandberg Institute and participated a premaster Anthropology at VU Amsterdam, followed by an Erasmus exchange at KU Leuven. In 2017 she graduated as master Education of Arts at Amsterdam University of Arts. Based on the outcomes of her study she enacts cultural awareness among design students at art schools. By proposing generative research she emphasizes the importance of Design Anthropology into 21 century curriculum. Her courses uses design to understand social and cultural experience and takes people’s everyday lives as inspiration. Tina lectures Moving Design at art school ArtEZ & Cutural Diversity minor Social Practice at Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam.
