84 STEPS, which occupies an entire floor of Kunstinstituut Melly, features projects at the intersection of art and education. This transformation of a white-cube gallery into a dynamic space for socializing art follows our 2018 makeover of the ground floor gallery, MELLY. The name - 84 STEPS - marks the distance from the ground floor to the third-floor galleries, where the initiative is sited.
84 STEPS features immersive art installations by Afra Eisma, The Feminist Health Care Research Group (Inga Zimprich), Moosje M Goosen and Daily Practice (Suzanne Weenink), Raja’a Khalid, Lisa Tan, Domenico Mangano & Marieke van Rooy, and Romily Alice Walden. Unfolding over the course of a year, the programming within these installations will give special attention to issues surrounding mental health. These include weekend training sessions conducted by health experts organized by Veronika Babayan and Aqueene Wilson, as well as Forums and Workshops organized by Vivian Ziherl and Jessy Koeiman.
