Fay Buurman is a Dutch Multidisciplinary Designer
currently studying Graphic Design at ArtEZ Arnhem.
With an interest in textiles, craft, and the intersection of
analog and digital processes.
Rooted in an admiration
for hands-on practices,
Fay’s work explores the unpredictable beauty of materiality,light, and sound, often integrating performative and experimental elements.
Fay’s projects question what is human, mundane,
or divine in the creative process.
Collaboration plays a central role, engaging
with other creatives and materials as equal partners.

Co-production of Urning & Urningin.
In this exhibition, guest curator Philipp Gufler explores the limitations of language–then and now–in expressing desire, and calls for intersectional solidarity.
Alongside original documents and letters by Ulrichs, which offer a glimpse into his era and the influence of his thinking, nine contemporary artists have been invited. Through their work, they reflect on themes of (gender)identity, language, and queer desire. Marking the 200th anniversary of Ulrichs’ birth, this exhibition connects past and present, showing how exchange across generations can be both hopeful and transformative.
