This project is now archived and was part of DDW23

The City Hall is dedicated to the Dommel, with an interactive presentation. Students from TU/e innovation Space allow you to view the waterway from a different perspective by uniting various animal species into political parties.

Origin

DommelPolitics began as a part of the Art & Tech course at TU/e Innovation Space. The initial objective of this project, initiated by the municipality of Eindhoven and Waterschap De Dommel (the Water Board), was to explore ways to enhance the relationship between the Dommel river and the area's future development. Plans are being formulated to provide more space for nature, facilitating the growth of biodiversity and the connection of habitats for various animal and plant species in this region. These plans are devised by us, humans. As DommelPolitics, we embarked on this project with a different perspective: How do we give the Dommel and its inhabitants a voice in future developments?
