Location: MELLY, Witte de Withstraat 50, 3012 BR Rotterdam

Where do art and education meet—and what frictions or sparks fly when they do? How can research help us respond to real-life situations in the classroom or other learning contexts? These are some of the questions explored together with the students of the Master Education in Arts. Now, they’re ready to open up their research in a joyful public moment of sharing. 

Join the graduating cohort of the Master Education in Arts on July 5 at Kunstinstituut Melly for a day of public presentations, where you’ll experience their work and research through a variety of formats—from talks to performances.

Wrong Norma is an exhibition of graduation works by eleven researchers, designers, and artists from the Master Interior Architecture: Research + Design (MIARD) at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. The exhibition explores what it means to practise spatial design today and includes projects by Julia Banaszewska, Dzintars Berzinskis, Mailys Bonnet, Sjoerd De Jong, Iza Koczanowska, Martynas Nikitenka, Youbin Kim, Isabel Legate, Eric Stynes, Philipp Their, and Sarasadat Zakernejad. 

Borrowing from the poet Anne Carson’s book of the same name, Wrong Norma describes a collection of projects that operate along a disobedient axis. The works challenge conventional spatial thinking through architectures that foam up, leak, enclose, glitch, and ferment. Rooted in research and material exploration, the works resist fixed methods and models of design. They navigate soft thresholds, political residues, and speculative errors—reimagining space not as enclosure, but as inquiry. Here, wrongness becomes method: a way of sensing, refusing, and imagining otherwise
