On January 1st, The Patching Zone founder Anne Nigten will be appointed as a parttime professor for Popculture, innovation and sustainability at the Hanzehogeschool/Minerva in Groningen.

The department of Popculture, innovation and sustainability contributes to the creative and innovative role of arts in the society. This happens by doing applied research on the ongoing innovation of professional practices as a result of the interaction between art and society. The leading question to this research is in which way does the artist need to be equipped to play an initiative and catalyzing role in questions concerning sustainabilitly and innovation in the society.
