- The Energy ShowSun, Solar and Human Power9 Sep—5 Mar 2023, Het Nieuwe Instituut | Rotterdam
How much energy do we have and need today? This question opens The Energy Show – Sun, Solar and Human Power, an accessible survey exhibition that can be seen from 3 September 2022 to 5 March 2023 at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam.
- Sun in the City9 Sep—30 Oct
The Solar Biennale reaches out to all the people of Rotterdam with the Sun in the City program. With the sun, in the street, wherever the sun is shining. Together with many others we bring the sun to Rotterdam and we ask you: what is your relationship with the sun?
- Solar Installations
Urban Sun, Sunne Experience and The Circle are solar installations that appear during The Solar Biennale 2022 in different cities and at unexpected locations.
- Solar Labs
Two Solar Labs on knowledge and innovation in solar design are organized in September and October. The first one is dedicated to the theme PERSONAL, in collaboration with New Order of Fashion and TU/e in Eindhoven; the second one focuses on the SPATIAL theme, in collaboration with BlueCity in Rotterdam.
- Solar Lectures
The Solar Biennale envisions and critically reflects on the future of solar energy. In a series of four Solar Lectures together with Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam, we will dive into the PERSONAL, SOCIAL, SPATIAL and ENVIRONMENTAL lenses.
