We Are Rhythm

Rhythm is a hold. Rhythm gives us structure. Rhythm is everywhere; within ourselves, between us, and around us. Rhythms form markers in time. These markings give meaning to daily existence, they indicate when we get up, go to school, work, play sports, are free or sleep. In short, rhythms give structure to our lives and if they weren't there, time would seem to run endlessly.

Just now that our daily rhythms are constantly being turned upside down by corona, we are looking for new guidance. From spring 2020 to summer 2021, more than 100 artists and scientists worked together to search for that footing, as part of the Values ​​for Survival research program. They didn't know each other and most of the time they couldn't meet as well. Yet they found a rhythm in their interaction and managed to exchange their unique knowledge and stories.

Because rhythm is in everything and everyone, it is also very suitable for teaching children and young people about it. This is how the book 'We Are Rhythm' came about. 15 extraordinary stories about rhythms, everyday and unusual. Browse (scroll) through the book and let yourself be carried away by the unique stories, illustrations and images.
