We need your hair… again!
UPDATE: FULLY BOOKED! This isn’t just a hypothetical proposal: we are actually starting to test a new value chain in which, in this edition too, we will ‘harvest’ human hair. During Rotterdam Art Week, you can get your hair cut in the foyer of the Nieuwe Instituut and donate your hair clippings as a new raw material. They will be processed into an innovative natural yarn, courtesy of a project by Human Material Loop in collaboration with hairdresser MonoHair by Mariska. Clients can book a haircut on 28 March 2025, and the resulting hair clippings will be spun into a yarn that can be processed into the most diverse range of textiles. More info
