Xandra van der Eijk
Lecturer
Xandra van der Eijk is a Dutch artist and researcher working with the fluid, networked actors that constitute water bodies. Central to their practice is the concept of Materiality of Place — how site-specific actors embody ecological, cultural and political worlds, uncovered through artistic fieldwork, material experimentation and technological mediation. As founder of Ecology Futures at Avans University of Applied Sciences, they have shaped ecological art education in the Netherlands. Their long-term project Hydroformations engages the Rhine as a living entity with its own rhythms and agency. Their work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Biennale of Sydney and ZKM Karlsruhe.
