Verbloemd Festival

SEXYLAND World, Amsterdam NL 

As part of the creative Verbloemd Festival, the Verbloemd collective presented a group exhibition at SEXYLAND World, Amsterdam’s vibrant experimental arts and nightlife space. Featuring multidisciplinary work—ranging from visual art and performance to interactive pieces—the show was hosted in a dim, atmospheric setting that blurred the line between club and gallery. Emerging artists used this underground, queer-friendly context to explore themes of identity, intimacy, and transformation. Within the conceptual clubhouse atmosphere—described as “a labyrinth of artistic experimentation” e—the exhibition highlighted the power of collaboration, spontaneity, and radical inclusion.

Fragments of Identity

The Boomer Gallery, London UK

Group exhibition “Fragments of Identity”, held in the vibrant Tower Bridge district. Over the course of the week, the gallery showcased multidisciplinary works—spanning painting, sculpture, photography, film/video, installation, textile, prints, and digital art—each engaging with the question:

“What defines identity in the 21st century?”

Artists from around the globe contributed reflections on personal history, cultural heritage, and identity as a layered, evolving construct. The exhibition encouraged viewers to look beyond surface appearances and consider how individual experiences, memories, and influences shape who we are. By presenting creative “fragments” from diverse backgrounds and practices, Fragments of Identity created a space for dialogue and introspection, inviting audiences to explore their own sense of self within the complexity of contemporary life.

As Above So Below

The Grey Space in the Middle, The Hague NL

Hosted by The Fool Collective—third-year photography students at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague—the exhibition presented a network of interconnected works that explored themes of contrast, connection, and materiality. The program featured a diverse mix of formats, including photographic prints, student films, sound performances, workshops, lectures, and a basement party. The multifaceted event encouraged visitors to participate in the evolving dialogue, shaping personal interpretations and creating new connections between the fragile and the strong within the work. Throughout the exhibition, audiences were invited to navigate and construct their own relationships with each piece, highlighting how understanding and empathy can grow through shared experience in an immersive artistic environment.
