FOR HANDS on Festival Hongerige Wolf
About this activity.
The Hongerige Wolf Festival is a friendly festival with surprising performances and artworks around the microscopic village of Hongerige Wolf. This year, the temporary outdoor museum Voor Handen (For Hands) will once again be erected during the Hongerige Wolf Festival. For the third time, the Ambonese Forest will provide the backdrop for artworks constructed entirely from materials found on site. Right down to the nameplates—no glue, no string, no nails—everything literally comes from the forest floor. The works will remain as long as nature allows, slowly returning to their origins.
Three female artists, with a strong connection to the landscape and environment, will come to the Ambonese Forest to design this year's outdoor museum.
Mies Heerma
Circles, spirals, and undulating lines: Mies Heerma's work is intuitive, earthy, and created in direct interaction with nature. Using one or two materials, she creates understated, poetic installations that are simultaneously strong and vulnerable. Wind, rain, and curious dogs sometimes pose a challenge—but that's part of it. Mies previously worked in the Netherlands, Morocco, Ireland, France, and England. This summer, she's leaving her mark on Hongerige Wolf (Hungry Wolf).
Inez Reintjes
Inez recently graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and is developing a practice that merges art, ecology, and research. She always works site-specifically, focusing on intensive material research. In her installations, sculptures, and publications, geology, cultural heritage, and ecology converge in layered narratives rooted in the place itself.
Trudy Oosterhuis
For Trudy, the landscape itself is her studio. She explores the boundaries between organic and geometric, past and present, culture and nature. What emerges is a subtle tension that invites us to look again—and perhaps even to see differently. Her works demand attention, slowness, and a new relationship with the world around us.
