Drawing from the history of Het Paviljoen, which served as the waiting room of the historic Bijloke hospital for pregnant patients, Eye becomes water is an exhibition and public programme that explores waiting not as a passive or neutral act, but as one that engages multiple temporalities, bodily experiences, and power dynamics.

The exhibition is curated collectively by Daphné Charitos, Natalija Gucheva, Abel Hartooni, Yasemin Köker, Temitayo Olalekan and Jean Watt
