Xandra van der Eijk is a Dutch artist and researcher, interested in the fluid, networked actors that constitute waterbodies. Using a distinct artistic methodology, they provide material experience-driven approaches to imagining and understanding ecological networks. In 2019, Xandra founded and developed the first MA in ecological art in the Netherlands at Avans University of Applied Sciences: Ecology Futures. Following their artistic philosophy, the program puts the exploration and invention of artistic-scientific methods at the forefront of practicing ecocritical theory in the field, looking to find new ways of co-generating practice-led knowledge in the process.
Xandra has a longstanding collaboration with the Embassy of the North Sea and is currently growing into the role of waterbody representative.
