Abstract

As a part of the St. Norbert College Art in a Democratic Society lecture series, Matthijs de Bruijne delivered a Zoom lecture on November 23rd, 2021. Matthijs de Bruijne’s artistic practice is based on and is part of, his direct political involvement. In recent years, it has taken the form of collaboration with trade unions and other labor organizations. In 2010, he was invited by the Dutch Union of Cleaners to work as an artist, helping this worker-led organization visualize its messages in a clear manner and creating a recognizable identity for this union in the Netherlands. Since 2020, he has been creating the archive of this union, which will be gifted to the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam. This lecture series was supported by the Faculty Mini-Grant Program through the Norman Miller Center for Peace, Justice, and Public Understanding.
