‘De mens is ook een dier’ is the second edition of a series online masterclasses in which a scientist and artist engage in a live conversation about a theme related to COVID-19 and the lock-down. These masterclasses are broadcast every last Thursday of the month. You can participate live!

During this masterclass we talk to virologist Marion Koopmans and visual artist Iwan Smit about the One Health approach. This approach assumes that people's health does not stand alone, especially when it comes to infectious diseases. After all, aren't humans animals too? Any questions will be answered at the end of the masterclass.

The masterclass will be in Dutch.

He gives a contemporary twist to mythological symbols. This often leads to colorful scenes with a dark edge. In his highly personal, yet accessible works, he confronts his dreams and demons.
