Photo: Guy Ackermans Wageningen doesn’t have a castle, otherwise sculptor Molhana van den Kroonenberg would have used that as her example. But this one isn’t
bad either. It is Slangenburg Castle, a retreat in Doetinchem that Van den Kroonenberg often visits for her work.
The construction of the sandcastle near the Forum entrance is the
opening act in Studium Generale’s sand week. Society’s craving for sand, which is threatening the environment, will be discussed in lectures, films and performances. Incidentally, ‘angular’ river sand that sticks together easily was used for the castle. If the weather is not too dry, the sandcastle could stand for weeks.
The programme of the sandweek can be found here.
