Sonsbeek 2026 x Hartwig Proxy: The Curved Times of Memory (What Would I Do in Orbit)? Day 2

What does memory feel like at the scale of a body, a landscape, or a planet? Presented in partnership with Hartwig Proxy in Amsterdam, and spread over two days in both Amsterdam and Arnhem, participants are invited to move across different scales of memory. This public programme takes its inspiration from Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven's flower carpet, Mystic Hexagram, commissioned for Sonsbeek 2026 with Hartwig Art Foundation, carried by her thinking on the spiral as a healing force and the Milky Way as a source of inspiration.

Through workshops, performances, film, and poetry, the program asks how we carry time within us, and how art, land, and shared presence might help us remember differently. 

Day 2 Arnhem Excursion
A bus to Arnhem brings visitors on a visit through Sonsbeek Park, an Artist Spotlight Talk on Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven's spiral flower carpet Mystic Hexagram in the city, and an afternoon live performance by Jota Mombaça and the ArtEZ student choir at Sonsbeek Park. The day ends not with an answer but with collective presence, attuned to our surroundings.
