Open Lunches

As part of Rotterdam Cultural Histories #12: Witte de With; What’s in a name? lunches are hosted by staff members. These lunches are an opportunity to speak out your opinions and discuss what matters to you most.

"For years, Witte de With’s kitchen-library has acted as the site for staff lunches, work meetings, and internal conversations. As the (hidden) heart of the institution is laid bare in the shared space, open lunches are hosted by staff members on a weekly basis to discuss the process of investigating the name of the institution, and the issues and implications raised in relation. We believe that an institution is the multiplied effect of the sum of all its parts; differing standpoints and voices need to be heard in full transparency."

Sign up to drop in for a lunch and conversation (every upcoming Tuesday 12:30 pm until 19 December) via reservations [​at​] wdw.nl.
