Lenn Cox

Lenn Cox is a community organizer, artist, educator and programme maker. Graduated in 2020 from the ArtEZ MA Practice Held in Common, where she initiated and co-created the manual Collective Wandering: Hanging Out with Our Everyday Ecology. Cox explores solidarity economies by immersing herself in self-organised learning-working-living environments. Many with an (eco) feminist and queer heart.  While engaging clothes as correspondence, to carry the exchanges and stories she collects as a topic of conversation. Art, for Cox, is an embodied and relational practice rooted in everyday life. As educator and community organizer she initiates spaces and projects that facilitate collective learning.

 

Cox is part of the core team of the ArtEZ master Critical Fashion Practices and coaches participants with their research. In 2019 Cox initiated the z o m e r k a m p collective (currently known as Collectief Z o m e r e n) in which she explores and practices what it means to have a collective practice at this moment in time. As linen steward, she learned how to grow, process and craft with a group our everyday textiles and garments by hand, with commoning as a guiding principle. Cox also works as a programme maker for Ruimtekoers, a cultural organization for socially engaged art and participatory design practices.

Cox lives in Arnhem (the Netherlands) and works wandering.
