Our, in the meantime, ‘resident’ client Philips Biscuits knocked on our door for a new fun collab together with Belgian contemporary artist Koen Van Mechelen. Especially known for his Cosmopolitan Chicken Project and Labiomista in Genk, Van Mechelen puts biocultural diversity as a central theme throughout his art. Working together with scientists and experts with a variety of disciplines, Van Mechelen’s work grew out to be a symbol of connectivity between scientifical, political, philosophical and ethnical matters. 

‘Cosmogolem’ is one of his social projects that gives less fortunate children a voice and identity. Placing giant wooden ‘Golem’ statues across the world, as a symbol of children rights, Van Mechelen organizes creative workshops with local organizations in and around this statue. For their collab, Philips Biscuits briefed us on creating a desirable biscuit collection of which all profit supports ‘Academie Merksem’ - the very first childrens rights Academy – to build their own Cosmogolem.
