ARTHOOD COLLECTIVE

For GLUE 2025, Arthood Collective presents ARTHOOD LAB

An open art archive and evolving installation where research, design, and emotion meet.
This experimental space brings together past and present research into themes like loneliness, recovery, community, and discomfort, expressed through graphic design, zines, photography, forms, and wordplay.

Visitors are invited into a timeline of processes and highlights, culminating in a folded newspaper (De Vouwkrant) that functions as both a source of creation and a call to action in the times we live in. As systems fracture and uncertainty grows, ARTHOOD LAB reflects the belief that art is not a luxury, but a necessity: a way to process, exist, connect, and imagine new forms together.
