* MORE ABOUT THE GUESTS

Martijn Jeroen van der Linden
Martijn Jeroen van der Linden worked in the financial sector for five years. Since the financial crash of 2008 new economic thinking has become more and more important to him. Currently he is a PhD researcher at Delft University of Technology, where his research is concerned with the phenomenon of money: its origins, its nature, its design, its technology, its impact on the relations between individuals in society and its ability to empower individuals.

Reto Pulfer
Reto Pulfer is a self-taught artist. His work deals with the unpredictability of the moment, the state between chaos and process when everything is still fluid. He distrusts great schemes in which everything has its fixed place. For Facing Value Pulfer made the artist's contribution Fabric Island.

Francien van Westrenen
Francien van Westrenen is a curator of the architecture programme at Stroom Den Haag. She has worked, among other things, on the programme Upcycling, which dealt with value creation. Together with Maaike Lauwaert she co-wrote and edited Facing Value.
