Arcadia X Gemeente Leeuwarden

BOSK

Bosk is a walking forest of more than a thousand trees, which took over the city centre of Leeuwarden for a hundred days in the summer of 2022. It began with an almost impossible plan, full of ambitious goals. From radical imagination to behavioural change, and from the mobilisation of social energy to strengthening the economic and creative climate in Fryslân. Residents and passers-by repeatedly moved the trees to their new location, resulting in Bosk covering a total distance of 3.5 kilometres. A successful cultural and educational programme emerged, for and by a whole range of people – including no less than 4,000 volunteers – and organisations. Bosk is part of cultural triennial Arcadia.
