Hope Box was created in 1999 by Rienke. It is a collective noun, the sum of her projects. Hope Box has grown into a method, a process in which hundreds of artists from dozens of countries have participated. Hope Box advocates art as a force to empower people, especially the youth to discover their potential and take action to inspire and encourage everyone in an ever-changing reality and unruly world.
As a result of these imaginative projects and working method, Rienke Enghardt offers masterclasses, workshops, and expeditions from the self-built Hope Box Home in the Scheepsbouwloods of the NDSM shipyard in Amsterdam.
