Programme
Stained Glass
Make your own mini-window of colour, light and lines. Design a miniature, stained-in-glass inspired, small window which will come to life. Step into your own projection, get immersed in colours and have your picture taken as a memory of the night. You will also be able to take your creation home.
Touch Synthesizer
Collect sounds from inside and in the surroundings of the museum and help build a collective touch synthesizer. Create an object, touch it and hear how your sound becomes part of a growing installation. Together we will create an instrument that is continuously changing throughout the evening.
Play a game of Multiform
Step into the playing field in Gallery 1.1. and take part in Multiform: an alternative game from the exhibition SIDELINED: A Space to Rethink Togetherness. Exchange positions, roles and teams, and experience how sport can connect, exclude and also create space to be together.
Bite
The Nieuwe Café, run by chef Manuela Gonçalves Tavares and her team, will offer a special deal! Get a Bite for only €12,50. What's on the menu? A vegetarian burger with cassava fries on the side. You can reserve your Bite in advance until Monday 26 October.
Music by faustin
We close the evening with a DJ set by faustin, a Rotterdam-based artist and researcher that uses sound to explore the complexities of identity and emotion. His DJ sets combine percussive elements with a futuristic essence, which creates an experience that invites introspection, escapism and connection.
And more! Together with our Detour Guides we’re currently working hard to develop all of the workshops. So keep an eye out on our website to be one of the first to know what the full programme will entail.
