This small salt glazed vile, sealed with a cork and wax, is now hidden inside of the building where Zuid. Boijmans currently resides. It is a contemporary version of the original ‘witch bottles', which were used to protect against black magic. In turn, the witch bottles in my practice serve as amplifiers of positivity, in this case an ode to growth.

In A Place at the Table, Ignace Cami explores a series of unusual jugs in the museum collection of Boijmans Van Beuningen; medieval stoneware jugs with a face and a pointy nose. Through a series of workshops with Rotterdam residents, he explores what these jugs might look like in our contemporary society. For this project Cami collaborated with Atelier Herenplaats, Pauluskerk, Theaterwerkplaats Formaat and Stichting Mano.
Zuid. Boijmans Van Beuningen commissions artists and collectives to create works that seek new connections between art, heritage and local communities. Artists are invited to work with local residents, children and organisations. The projects are participatory and based on ideas around collective learning and social practices.
