Monday, October 10, 2022, the first edition of the participatory and social art project 'Join the Party' will start at Cicero Care Center Ave Maria. An initiative of artist Jonathan Wanders and a special collaboration with the residents, staff and visitors of Ave Maria. It is an invitation to connect, a call to an open dialogue, to meet each other, to promote the enjoyment of life and to create something special together.

With the project Disconnected / Reconnected, artist Jonathan Wanders wants to excite and challenge people. To give rise to thoughts and conversations. It is a call for an open dialogue, in which the themes of freedom and connectedness are central, explored and questioned. Disconnected / Reconnected does this by seeking confrontation with our collective recent history and shows how it is connected to our situation today, as a starting point for conducting a dialogue.

Rainbow Sundance is a contemporary, colorful and dynamic translation of the Cramignon. A traditional circle dance that is danced in various places in the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten (South Limburg, Netherlands) and in neighboring Belgian places in Wallonia. A cultural and musical identity as a cross-border lifestyle and connection.

The temporary artwork Connector is part of the Community Art Project Reijmerstok and the result of 6 brainstorming and design sessions and 2 weeks of daily making sessions such as building, lugging, sawing, screwing and painting. The artwork is an ode to the volunteers, the true connectors.
