Movie: Queer Mercury (17 min.)
8pm – 1am
AUDITORIUM Collaborative worldbuilding and speculative storytelling characterise the work of artist and designer Erik Peters. In the documentary Queer Mercury, Peter's inclusive futures are explored by following three members of the Dutch ballroom scene - Nubia Génisis, Sarafina Paulina Bonita and Monika Vineyard - as they prepare for the Utopia Ball, which took place in September 2021. The film profiles the three protagonists while reflecting on ballroom culture, which pursues an inclusive future by creating a space where all gender identities and expressions are welcome.
Het Nieuwe Club Café

Het Nieuwe Café? You mean Het Nieuwe Club Café! Put the RoXY club culture of _Designing the Social _into practice here. Dance to the sounds of the night and quench your thirst with a special Museumnacht010 cocktail!
The Future Through Artificial Eyes: 20 Years of VPRO Tegenlicht
8pm – 1am
GALLERY -1 What kind of 'eyes' does artificial intelligence see with? Find out in Richard Vijgen's interactive installation where you can direct a self-learning computer to look at the archive of the future-gazing TV show VPRO Tegenlicht. Where do you see opportunities? And does artificial intelligence also have blind spots? Choose an artificial eye and see for yourself.
Rotterdam Architecture Month: (T)Huis
8pm – 1am
GALLERY 1 (T)Huis (House/Home) is what happens around you, what you see when you look out of the window and what you hear when you walk out of the door. (T)Huis is feeling connected to your living environment - a living environment that is currently under pressure. How do we build a living environment that is sustainable, green, affordable and accessible to everyone? Solutions and opportunities seem far away, but come closer in the exhibition (T)Huis, which offers a platform for the innovative plans and designs of citizens, architects, designers, makers and innovators. Over 30 groundbreaking projects offer perspective on the future of our living environment. Circular energy, on the roof, vertical villages or self-build - what appeals to you most?
Designing the Social
8pm – 1am
GALLERY 1 The nightclub as a cultural crowbar? Creative interaction between plants, animals and people? Squatting to change the city from within? Visit the nine rooms - each with its own theme - of the _Designing the Social _exhibition to learn more about how design contributes to our social interaction: to new ways of living, working and communicating with each other. Which room would you like to live in?
In Search of the Pluriverse
8pm – 0.30 am
GALLERY 2 Wander through the multiverse, a world where multiple worlds can thrive at the same time. Listen to a leaf breathe, befriend some microbes, let the sexual energy of the wind blow through you, and practice the 'no' of resistance and the 'yes' of the imagination. In this exhibition, curators Sophie Krier and Erik Wong open 27 doors to the pluriverse. Behind every door is a world, an encounter with a designer or maker. We need their voices and radical imaginations if we want to work on a world that makes room for many worlds: a future that actually has a future for everything that lives on this planet.
Sonneveld House
8pm – 0.30 am (last walk-in)
JONGKINDSTRAAT 12 Sonneveld House is a time machine that takes you back to the 1930s. What kind of music will you hear there? Which records did the Sonneveld family listen to? And what did they play on the piano? The musicians of the Extended Music Collective have found the answers and they will perform their discoveries at Museumnacht010.
