Each Detour Guide brings their unique perspective as a dancer, teacher or designer to these hour-long tours one Sunday every month. In collaboration with the Triennale di Milano, Het Nieuwe Instituut expands its Detours to include local Milanese makers trained by the Dutch team.

If design can help us to counter the ongoing ecological devastation of the earth, and can support the cultivation of mutually supportive relations between humans and non-humans, this should inform not only the cultural imagination, but also governmental policies, legal frameworks, and broader social infrastructures.

The Working on Common Ground conference takes its starting point in Have we met?, the Dutch contribution to the 23rd Triennale Milano. In Working on common ground, Het Nieuwe Instituut, who put the exhibition together, collaborates with cheFare, agency for cultural transformation from Milan. The conference investigates the Dutch and Italian environments to discover both overlapping characteristics and location-specific aspects of two ecological realities and explores the potential for fostering  multispecies communities.
