We help science reach the
heads of state and the hearts of the public
by harnessing the emotional power of
art and culture.

Specialised in translating the complexity of
planetary health, science, and sustainable solutions, we create compelling data-driven
NARRATIVES, ART INSTALLATIONS, and EDUCATION PROGRAMS,
that travel from key conferences to festivals, and from boardrooms to living rooms.
For the heads
of state and
the hearts of
the public.

Complex to Compelling
Over years of experience, we have shaped the Complex to Compelling method.
Starting from a partner’s scientific foundation, we transform complexity into clear, compelling narratives, visualisations, and data-driven artworks.
Through workshops, educational programs, and inspiring art installations, we support partners such as UNESCO, the World Economic Forum, LVMH, and ESA at key conferences and major public events worldwide.
In these contexts, data-driven art becomes a shared point of reference. It builds trust, grounds discussion, grabs attention, informs decisions, and allows big, unimaginable challenges to speak to the imagination.

Woven Foundation enables science to speak to the imagination of millions using the power of art and culture.
Fostering trust, impact and action towards a
positive future.
We help transform the work of scientists, institutions, philanthropists, and impact investors into experiences
that reach heads of state and the hearts of the public.
If something is un-imaginable,
it becomes un-actionable
THE FOUNDATION
Who we are
The Woven Foundation is founded by world-renowned ecological artist Thijs Biersteker.
The Foundation’s mission is shaped by years of experience in translating groundbreaking science and ambitious projects into data-driven artistic and cultural experiences that have been exhibited at major museums and key UN conferences, reaching millions worldwide.
Through the Foundation, this practice is scaled to increase impact and support partners working on the world’s most pressing challenges of today.
