Carlijn Kingma (1991, The Netherlands) makes awe-inspiring and refined drawings that are constructed from architectural elements and structures. Her drawings, or maps as she calls them, are imaginary landscapes in which she takes the viewer on a journey through the histories and future scenarios of major themes of humanity, such as utopia, capitalism and modernity.
The 16th-century Southern Dutch painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder, the 18th-century Italian graphic artist and architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi and the 19th-century English architect and artist Joseph Gandy are cited as inspirations for her
work. Kingma studied Architecture at Delft University of Technology. In 2016 she graduated with her first work: History of an Utopian Tradition. This graduation project, an animated film in which she showed 50 of her drawings, did not meet the
formal graduation requirements of the program, but was nevertheless awarded the highest mark.
With her graduation work she also won the First New Babylon Award, which is presented annually by the Kunstmuseum in The Hague and Delft University for the best graduation project on the interface between art and architecture, after which her work was exhibited in the Kunstmuseum in The Hague in 2018. In that year she was also artist-in-residence with Joep van Lieshout. For her work, Kingma collaborates with other artists and researchers. In 2020 she collaborated with Rutger Bregman and, in response to his book 'De meeste mensen deugen', she created a work entitled “The Fabric of Humankind.”
In 2021 she was selected as talent of the year for the year 2022 by the Kunstweek Foundation.

Cartographer Carlijn Kingma and historian Rutger Bregman joined forces. The result? A meticulously detailed black and white drawing of 1.5 meters wide. A roadmap that offers insight into the past and present of humanity, and also outlines prospects for the future. Bregman's book 'Most people are good' was the starting point for the map that Kingma worked on for 12 months. What is the strength of the combination of art and research, text and drawing? Why do we need to imagine new stories? And what kind of future will humanity face?
