I’m Holly Zijderveld, this is my web garden. Although, on second thought, it’s very small, so maybe it’s more like an allotment or a balcony or a patio.
Most generally, I am working around themes of connection, collection, and computing, in the broadest ways you can understand these terms. I interact with these ideas through research, writing (poetry, fiction, & essays), illustration, textile, publishing & editing, and event & community organising. These ideas also play into my work in technical research support.
Upcoming events I’m a part of/assisting to organise:
23-01-2026 Internet Archive Europe: Public Domain Movie Night
09-02-2026 Internet Archive Europe: Public Data Cultures book talk by Jonathan Grey
