ARTISTSCOW Shift Z (PT/NL) is a composer and performer of electronic music. Her practice focuses on integrating different music genres in her artistic language. Electronic dance music gives her the common ground to express her inner worlds and tell the stories with a free and experimental mindset.
As a performer she is interested in rhythm and groove puzzled with aggressive, industrial sounds. She is a creative programmer exploring new instruments that let her improvise with her own sound design and music intuition.Over the past years COW Shift Z created diverse projects in distinct areas of music. Her EP “Funeral for the Selves” she performed in clubs mainly in The Netherlands and Portugal. She also created the “Biljimeiri Anthem” for the Utopa Organ and electronics and other multimedia projects, such as “buffer manelzinho 1204.8” a multimedia opera.

lowkolos (TR/NL, aka mert gençer) is an Amsterdam-based A/V artist and producer focused on crafting unique, immersive experiences. Drawing inspiration from ‘Musique Concrète’, he aims to bring novelty to music by breaking free from traditional composition methods, such as grids and metric measurements. His genre-bending productions feature narrative textures, computer processing, complex rhythms, and innovative sound design. When paired with his visuals, this fusion creates a dynamic and evolving experience that keeps audiences engaged and excited throughout his performances.
During Tell Me More #2 lowkolos will present ‘there is no harmony’ a multi-layered holographic A/V show inspired by Werner Herzog’s documentary ‘Burden of Dreams’. In this performance, and in collaboration with A/V artist and technologist Allison Wright, lowkolos uses a holographic foil that, when paired with haze, creates an ethereal 3D quality. Unlike traditional theater scrims, the holographic foils create a lensing effect, refracting light to transform the venue into an immersive light installation. Suspended vertically in two layers, the projection material warps the visuals, further exploring the theme of harmony and disharmony.

Nobody’s Free Until Everybody’s Free | Fundraiser EP
This collaboration between Utrecht-based ambient violinist and composer Honingbeer and Berlin-based poet Mirthe van Popering merges spoken word with haunting sonic layerings. A fundraiser project born out of 15 years of friendship and 434 days of unflinching genocide, their paired voices call us to feel—deeply and in discomfort.
Coming from a shared background in music, the two longtime friends now create an interdisciplinary texture of expression—one that balances sound with white space, ink with strings, and poses questions of defiant connection amidst shattering loss. Osama Hussein, a Palestinian visual artist from Gaza, created the cover art.
All proceeds from their fundraiser EP “Nobody’s Free Until Everybody’s Free” and merch go directly to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, The Freedom Theatre and Osama Hussein to support him and his family in Gaza.
Mirthe van Popering resides in Berlin, where she writes, translates and resists. A graduate of Cultural Analysis in Amsterdam, she studied creative writing at The Writers Studio New York and poetry with Tracy Fuad at the Berlin Writers’ Workshop. Her writing is in touch with what is being obscured—it subverts language, foregoes answers, destabilizes existing systems and revels in surreal desire. In seeking new modes of meaning-making, her work poses an intricate cultural critique where slippage in sound and sense become a site of possibility, of hope.
Honingbeer is the solo project of violinist Marthe Lasthuis. She extends and bends violin with electronics, flanking Neo-Classic and experimental artists such as Nils Frahm, Kara-Lis Coverdale, Colleen and Mary Lattimore. Her latest EP “Opia” was released with Frank Wiedemann’s Bigamo. Hongingbeer’s compositions require listeners to submerge—and reemerge elsewhere. With atmospheric, melancholy layerings, she lures us into a primordial place and time; a clearing in the forest singing, a vibration of the heart.
Osama Hussein is a Palestinian visual artist and interior designer who has been forcibly displaced multiple times since October of last year. His small studio and paintings were completely destroyed by the Israeli military. In a fundraiser he started to support his family, Osama writes: “Every night, we sleep to the sounds of explosions and rockets that strike our hearts before our homes,” describing how the loss of loved ones has become a “painful routine.” Amidst the genocide, Osama continues to visualize the plight of his people in black-and-white drawings, documenting the bloodshed and devastation Gazans endure every day.https://www.gofundme.com/f/hel…
Show Pony (USA/NL) is the solo project of Amsterdam-based American double bassist and vocalist Laura Nygren. In her new audiovisual project, I May Fall into the Sound, created with Tatiana Rosa and Nina Kay, she uses a synthesizer to explore the erosion of the human body as a metaphor for our aging planet. The project focuses on the small eroding island of Massancumock, which is expected to disappear into the surrounding sea by 2026, near the area where Nygren grew up.Using beats, synths, strings, and text, Show Pony creates atmospheric landscapes—a world to get lost in. During live performances, she brings these landscapes to life for the audience through her immersive shows.In 2021, Show Pony released her self-titled debut EP, created in collaboration with producer/multi-instrumentalist No Compliments, in a specially designed 3D online space during the online edition of the Rewire Festival. In 2022, she created Lullaby for a Slow Apocalypse with Tatiana Rosa and Simon van Steenis, a performative installation combining string instruments, ceramic instruments, and chamber music arrangements from her debut EP. This work challenged audiences to question their definitions of the end of the world.

Warr (UK/NL) is an Amsterdam-based electronic music producer from East London, UK. Inspired by the more avant-garde avenues of dance music, Warr bridges dark and unconventional sound textures with raw, hypnotic techno grooves in their live and DJ sets.

ORBITS X SPACE IS THE PLACE FALL SERIES #3
2024-12-17 18:30 - 23:30 | Dokhuis
dinner 18.30; music 20 h
The Orbits X Space is the Place series concludes with a special evening featuring the young, upcoming experimental piano talent Lida Brouskari and the lyrical, unpredictable duo Hristo Goleminov and Siebren Smink. This evening closes with Frank Rosaly’s amazing Ruidoscuro quartet, super in shape after their Belgian tour organized by SITP, full of power, with transcendental raw energy.
Lida Brouskari solo
Lida Brouskari graces us solo, on the keys. A skilled pianist who started at a very early age, Brouskari has been making waves in the local scene in various formations, including her band Nufaro, which blends avant-garde pop sensibilities with experimental and ’70s rock influences.
Lida Brouskari – keys

Hristo Goleminov / Siebren Smink
Hristo Goleminov is a saxophonist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist with a keen interest in free improvisation. For this event, he’s in full interplay with close friend and long-time collaborator Siebren Smink, a guitarist and composer who was steeped in psych rock as a kid. They will play new compositions by Goleminov, exploring baroque-inspired counterpoint, oddly singable melodies, and interwoven structures within the low confines of the baritone sax and guitar.
Hristo Goleminov – saxophone | Siebren Smink – guitar
Ruidoscuro
Frank Rosaly’s Ruidoscuro presents strict sequential patterns against improvisation to inhabit ritualistic musical movement. The music tells a dark, haunting story in a richly layered context of spinning polyrhythms, bi-tonal melodic material, and pivoting harmonic structures in a new music that defies centralization. Layered systems of repetition, trance-based cycles, and melodic motifs spin and bridge one another, creating space for the listener to become lost in the raw energy of this powerful quartet.
Marta Warelis – keys | Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti – electronics | Andy Moor – guitar | Frank Rosaly – drums

20.30 SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXICINEMA
SLANTZETO I SYANKATA 1962
(Sun and Shadow, Слънцето и сянката)

Directed by Rangel Vulchanov
69 minutes
In Bulgarian with English subtitles
This film follows two people on a beach, a male and female in their early 20s, who are trying to leave the scars of World War II behind them… they are the new post-war generation and they’re attempting to reinvent their lives, focusing more on creativity and playfulness rather than repeating the disastrous tragedy of the previous generation.
This film is balanced between twin emotions. One is the mood of the carefree beach, the feeling of having finally emerged from war and finally there is peace. The second emotion is remembering how ghastly war is. The year this film was made the United States was seriously deciding to use nuclear weapons for the second time—this time against Russia and Cuba. The event was called the Cuban missile crisis and President Kennedy was on the edge of pushing the nuclear button again. So there was tension in the air around the world, and the understanding that peace could be shattered at any moment. For anyone living during these years, any plane that roared overhead suddenly reminded them of possible disaster.
The main actress of this movie, as it turns out, is young Polish actress Anna Prucna, who continued making courageous movies in European cinema during the 60s and 70s (including Makavejev’s Sweet Movie). She loved Pasolini, and even took one of his poems, put it to music and sang the lyrics.
This movie was made at a time very similar to the one we face now, when a threat of possible nuclear annihilation hangs in the air. The biggest difference is that in the 1960s people understood what a disaster nuclear war would be, whereas today it’s barely thought about. This will be another outrageously rare screening of a neglected gem from the past.
+ GUERNICA 1978
Directed by Emir Kusturica
18 minutes
In Czech with English subtitles
This is the graduation film of renowned Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica. He didn’t learn to make films in his own home country of Yugoslavia, but instead went to study at the legendary film school in Prague. In this short flick a young boy is taken to a museum where he is bewildered by Picasso’s 1937 painting of the horror of war Guernica.

Last chance to look at the drawings expo by Julio Pastor. Julio is a Mexican artist who has returned with his family for a year to the Netherlands, after being here for his Master studies at The Dutch Art Institute in 2010. His drawings reflect on the perspective of media theory, feeling that through photography painting and drawing lost their claim on portraying reality. Living in one of the most unequal cities on the planet, Mexico City, he investigates through drawing and painting how he can expose these social problems.

MARBLE ASS 1995

(Dupe od mramora)
Directed by Zelimir Žilnik
86 minutes
In Serbian with English subtitles

Oh, all those cutting-edge movies from the former east bloc that seem to be lost… an entire world (and reality) went up in smoke almost immediately when the Berlin wall fell. But actually they are sometimes still there, buried very deep somewhere. This one is from Yugoslavia, a country that had a rich history of adventurous filmmaking. There was a whole wave of filmmakers who were wild and euphoric, with biting insights into politics and culture that were razor sharp. In fact they are so sharp, if you go into them extensively, you are bound to cut yourself once or twice. And the rascal who made this particular movie was one of the most uncompromising and inspired, having helped ignite the legendary Yugo Black Wave cinema movement in the 1960s. Here we catch him 25 years later, and he’s still knocking out radical movies that don’t fit in any box.
Zelimir Žilnik, like most of his Black wave comrades, focused on the outsiders of society. In this way they attempted to shift the axis of the entire country. This flick was made in the early 1990s, and anyone that knows their history will understand that at this point in time Yugoslavia was a war-torn country. So this film throws us in the middle of that huge battle, but what an unusual angle it takes!
Made during the Balkan war what we get, in a way, is a defense of trans queer culture amid the guns and bombs going off everywhere. It focuses on two transgender sex workers—Merlin and Sanela—who have gone into this line of work as a form of defiance against the macho militaristic war culture existing in Yugoslavia at the time. Blending this very real historical situation with a fictional queer narrative makes this a hybrid example of ‘docufiction’. This aspect becomes even more true when you realize the two main actors are actually transgender prostitutes in real life, so in a way they are just being themselves.
Almost impossible to imagine, this Yugoslavian flick is about sexual diversity, identity fluidity, social and class conditioning. It revolves around a wild subculture that wasn’t trying to commercialise, hype, or Instagram its identity. And its beauty is precisely that, it was a radical alternative to the mainstream—mirroring it, distorting it, parodying it—but not trying to fit into it. I was listening to an interview with a musician recently, who was looking at a leaf in a garden, and while holding it talked about how singular it was—that just being itself was already its statement, and how it didn’t have to try to imitate all the other wildlife around it. The offbeat trans community in this movie is a lot like that.

20:30 The Last Supper presents: Time for Revolution!
Come and learn from the first revolution of the 21st century and how it can guide struggle movements in the Netherlands and Belgium!
The Rojava Revolution began in 2012 with the declaration of autonomy for northern and eastern Syria. More than a decade after it began this social, multicultural and feminist revolution continues to grow and expand. The Turkish state is currently attempting to carry out a military invasion of the autonomous territory in order to put an end to this revolutionary experiment, but the historic resistance of the peoples of the region is preventing the invasion from advancing.
The paradigm of Democratic Modernity on which the Rojava Revolution is based remains little-known. Developed by Abdullah Öcalan, it guides the Kurdistan Liberation Movement. Rejecting the nation-state, this paradigm proposes a social project based on radical democracy, women’s liberation and social ecology.
Beyond the Middle East, how can this paradigm serve as a guide for the development of new revolutionary dynamics? How can we open up new perspectives for liberation from the heart of capitalist modernity?
How have young people been organizing for several years to build democratic confederalism internationally?
This evening is proposed by Lêgerîn, a magazine founded in Rojava, which today is being developed autonomously by young people present on all the continents.

“Israel in The Hague: One Palestinian’s Fight for Justice” (16 min)
This short film follows Ismail Ziada’s lawsuit against Israeli military leaders, including Benny Gantz, after a 2014 airstrike on his family home in Gaza’s Bureij camp killed his mother, three brothers, sister-in-law, and 12-year-old nephew.
While Ismail has no illusions about international law delivering true justice for Palestinians, he believes cases like his are essential. As he told the Middle East Monitor: “It’s a fight that you have to fight. It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about not giving up. It’s an act of resistance.”

OCCii ON TOUR w/ More Eaze (us) + Wendy Eisenberg Trio (us) + Bhajan Bhoy
2025-04-08 20:00 - 23:00 | Dokhuis
MORE EAZE is the project of brooklyn-based sound artist and multi-instrumentalist Mari Maurice Rubio. Ranging from ambient pop to folk and musique concrete, her numerous solo and collaborative releases weave mundane, everyday sounds, acoustic orchestration and instrumentation, and electronics into adventurous textural compositions. Her music explores themes of intimacy, yearning, Americana, and the transformation of abstract feeling into intense living through compositions that moves seamlessly between the banal and the ethereal. She has recently released work with Longform Editions, Leaving Records, Ecstatic, and Orange Milk with forthcoming releases on Thrill Jockey and 15 love. Her work as a string arranger, pedal steel player, and producer has recently been featured on recordings by Martha Skye Murphy, Water Damage, Lomelda, Fashion Club, Claire Rousay, Space Afrika and Rainy Miller, and Nick Zanca amongst others. She regularly performs in the duos Pink Must (w/ Lynn Avery) and Whait (w/ Wendy Eisenberg). Since fall of 2024, Rubio has taught composition/production and coached ensembles at the New School.

WENDY EISENBERG TRIO w/ Ryan Sawyer on Drums
Wendy Eisenberg is an improviser and songwriter who plays guitar, tenor banjo, synthesiser, bass and voice. Their work tries to demystify and then immediately, subconsciously re-mystify what a guitar can do within and around songs, and as such is about memory, perception, and love. In addition to their genre-agnostic solo work, they are a member of the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet, Editrix, Squanderers (with Kramer and David Grubbs), Darlin (with Ryan Sawyer and Lester St Louis), and work closely with Caroline Davis, John Zorn, and more eaze. They are an Assistant Professor of songwriting, music theory, guitar, and other such overlaps at The New School, and have published essays about music and other things in Sound American, Arcana, and the Contemporary Music Review.
https://wendyeisenberg.bandcamp.com/
BHAJAN BHOY: Deep meditative music filled with kosmische guitar psych magick / sonic raga trips / melodic mantras / esoteric electronica that thrill and elevate the listener to a higher sonic plane. Several LP releases and tours of the USA, UK, and Europe, and appearances at Le Guess Who? festival have cemented Bhajan Bhoy‘s reputation as one of the best guitar + electronic performers at present.

Dok Night | Opening tentoonstelling: In the Next Step, Everything Changes
2025-04-10 18:00 - 23:00 | Dokhuis, Plantage Doklaan 8-12, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Tentoonstelling: In the Next Step, Everything Changes
2025-04-10 19:00 - 2025-04-13 17:00 | Dokzaal & Dokhuis galerie, Plantage Doklaan 8, Amsterdam, 1018CM, Netherlands
Tentoonstelling en workshops | werken in motion & experimenten
[ENGLISH TEXT BELOW] Van donderdag 10 tot en met zondag 13 april 2025 verandert de Plantage Dok in een bruisende ruimte van experiment en beweging met In the Next Step, Everything Changes. Dit vierdaagse event brengt een dynamische mix van tentoonstellingen, live events, performances, workshops, filmscreening en een rondleiding.

Hier ligt niets vast — werk ontvouwt zich, neemt nieuwe wendingen en maakt het maakproces zichtbaar. Kunstenaars, makers en denkers tonen werk dat nog nooit eerder is gepresenteerd, een keerpunt markeert in hun praktijk of zich midden in een experimentele fase bevindt. In the Next Step, Everything Changes heeft geen eindpunt, maar een tussenruimte waarin alles nog kan kantelen.
Dit is meer dan een tentoonstelling; het is een plek waar kunst nog kan veranderen en waar bezoekers en makers in gesprek gaan. Het thema ‘in beweging’ draait om verandering, migratie en verhuizen — zowel fysiek als mentaal. Het gaat over verschuivende grenzen en hoe verplaatsing invloed heeft op identiteit, herinnering en verbondenheid.

Deelnemers [tot nu toe]:
Dané Vonk, Sonia Kasovsky, Aukje Koelstra, Bobbie Fay Brandsen, Dorota Dabrowska, Karin van de Wiel, Maaike Bol, Claire van der Mee, Lily Harings, Alex Winters, Niké Dolman, Eva Schippers, Lian van de Wiel Yasia Khomenko en Mirjam Lang.

Activiteiten
In the Next Step, Everything Changes opent op donderdag 10 april om 19.30 met een workshop van Claire van der Mee en een performance van Alex Winters, gevolgd door een DJ-set van DJ Lian en DJ Dané. Vanaf 19.00 kun je genieten in het café van een vegan maaltijd van 10,- euro.

Van vrijdag 11 tot en met zondag 13 april is de tentoonstelling geopend van 11.00 – 17.00, inloop gratis. Hiernaast zijn er allerlei activiteiten in de tentoonstellingsruimte waar je aan kan deelnemen:
Op zaterdag 12 april staat de tentoonstellingsruimte in het teken van een intensief workshop-programma.

Op zondag 13 april geeft Dané Vonk de laatste workshop om 14.00. Daarna sluiten we de dag en het event af met een tour langs de hele tentoonstelling; dit is een moment om samen met kunstenaars, deelnemers en bezoekers terug te kijken op wat is ontstaan. Dan heffen we het glas, voordat we weer de wereld instappen: In the Next Step, Everything Changes. (Laten we het hopen!)

PROGRAMMA WORKSHOPS
Van 10 t/m 13 april 2025 verandert Plantage Dok in Amsterdam in een bruisende werkplaats van ideeën en materiaal. In de grote zaal, waar tegelijkertijd ook de tentoonstelling In the Next Step, Everything Changes te zien is, kun je deelnemen aan maar liefst vijf workshops!

Het event In the Next Step, Everything Changes is een levendige ruimte waarin kunst zich ontvouwt, verschuift en reageert op wie er binnenkomt. De workshops vormen het kloppende hart van dit proces. Het zijn momenten van ontmoeting, experiment en gezamenlijk maken. Hier deel je niet alleen een tafel, maar ook verhalen, technieken en perspectieven.

Maken en meebewegen
Je gaat aan de slag onder begeleiding van kunstenaars die ook werk laten zien in de tentoonstelling. In een omgeving waar niets vastligt, nodigen deze sessies uit tot proberen, falen en opnieuw beginnen. Aan het einde van de dag (zondag 13 april) sluiten we gezamenlijk af; alle kunstenaars zijn aanwezig, en je kunt dan je werk mee naar huis nemen.
Het thema ‘in beweging’ draait om verandering, migratie en verplaatsen — zowel fysiek als mentaal. In de workshops benaderen de makers dit thema elk op hun eigen manier, in hands-on sessies waarin je werkt met textiel, patronen en transfertechnieken op papier en stof. Midden in de expositieruimte, aan grote tafels, worden ideeën omgezet in materie. Wat ontstaat, blijft zichtbaar als onderdeel van de tentoonstelling. Het is een momentopname van vier dagen groei, beweging en uitwisseling.
Doe mee!
Iedereen is welkom! Deelname aan de workshops is op donatiebasis (pay what you can, richtprijs vanaf €10 per workshop, gebaseerd op materiaalgebruik). Je kunt kiezen voor één workshop, of meerdere combineren—bijvoorbeeld tijdens de workshopmarathon op zaterdag 12 april van 11:30 tot 16:30.

Aanmelden is fijn, want er is een beperkt aantal plekken per workshop. Wees er op tijd bij en laat even weten wanneer je wilt komen via schipperseva@gmail.com.

10 april, vanaf 19.30
Workshop: Wat neem je mee naar nieuwe plekken?
DOOR Claire van der Mee MET Collage, textiel, tranfer

We nemen allemaal iets mee naar nieuwe plekken – een voorwerp, een gedachte, een gevoel. In deze workshop met Claire van der Mee verbeelden we die herinneringen in collage op stof. Met knipwerk, transfervellen en een hittepers creëren we samen een collectieve quilt, die gedurende vier dagen een groeiend kunstwerk in de expositie In the Next Step, Everything Changes wordt.
Op zondagmiddag 13 april kan je jouw bijdrage ophalen, of maak in de week erop een afspraak met Eva Schippers (schipperseva@gmail.com) om je herinnering op te halen!

12 april, 11.00 – 12.30
Workshop: Kan ik je helpen als ik mijn was buiten hang?
DOOR Aukje Koelstra WAT textiel, verf, sjabloon

In deze workshop ga je samen met kunstenaar Aukje Koelstra aan de slag met gebruikt huishoudtextiel, verf en andere materialen. Vanuit haar activistische blik op textiel, natuur en mens, nodigt Aukje je uit om te werken met symboliek en betekenis. Textiel is al eeuwenlang drager van geheime boodschappen. Samen onderzoeken we oude tekens en maken we nieuwe, als wegwijzers voor wie ze nodig heeft.
Doe mee – maak, verbind & laat iets achter!

12 april, 12.30 – 14.30
Workshop: Manifest printing
DOOR Yasia Khomenko/ RCR KHOMENKO SAMOPRINT MET textiel, transfer

In deze hands-on workshop ga je aan de slag met SAMOPRINT. Dit is een interactieve, DIY-printmethode die draait om recycling en duurzaamheid. Samen onderzoeken we hoe textiel een krachtig middel kan zijn voor sociale of politieke expressie. Vanuit archetypische beelden knip, herschik en combineer je tot jouw eigen visuele statement.
👉 Neem een kledingstuk mee waarop je kunt werken en laat je stem zien in print!

12 april, 14.00 – 16.00
Workshop: In beweging/ Riso printing
DOOR Maaike Bol/ Maiami Prints WAT Riso print, collage, waterverf

In deze workshop duiken we samen in het idee van bewegende lijnen en de migratie van planten, dieren en mensen. We starten met het maken van een gezamenlijke Zine, en jij bouwt mee aan dit verhaal! We experimenteren met analoge technieken zoals collage en waterverf, en je ontdekt op speelse wijze de wereld van Riso printen. Daarna gaan we écht aan de slag: we printen de Zine, en jij krijgt natuurlijk een exemplaar mee naar huis.
Maak. Speel. Print. Deel!

13 april, 14.00 – 15.30
Workshop: Thuis in beweging
DOOR Dané Vonk WAT Papier, tekenen, bouwen

Hoe beïnvloedt het verhuizen en het verplaatsen van je thuis je identiteit? Samen met Dané Vonk onderzoeken we deze vragen aan de hand van papier. We bouwen een model met façades van huizen waarin we hebben gewoond. We denken terug aan de herinneringen in deze huizen, en reflecteren op de wooncrisis en het gedoe rondom verhuizen. Een interactieve workshop voor iedereen die zich weleens heeft afgevraagd wat ‘thuis’ nu eigenlijk betekent.

[ENGLISH TEXT]
In the Next Step, Everything Changes
Exhibition and workshops | working in motion & experiments
From Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 April 2025, the Plantage Dok will transform into a vibrant space of experiment and movement with In the Next Step, Everything Changes. This four-day event brings a dynamic mix of exhibitions, live events, performances, workshops, film screening and… a tour.
Nothing is fixed here — work unfolds, takes new turns and makes the creative process visible. In the Next Step, Everything Changes has no end point, but an in-between space in which everything can still go either way. It is a place where art and ideas can still develop and where visitors and makers engage in dialogue.The theme ‘in motion’ revolves around change, migration and moving — both physically and mentally. It is about shifting borders and how displacement affects identity, memory and connection.
Participants [so far]: Dané Vonk, Sonia Kasovsky, Aukje Koelstra, Bobbie Fay Brandsen, Dorota Dabrowska, Karin van de Wiel, Maaike Bol, Claire van der Mee, Lily Harings, Alex Winters, Niké Dolman, Eva Schippers, Lian van de Wiel Yasia Khomenko and Mirjam Lang.
Activities
In the Next Step, Everything Changes opens on Thursday, April 10 at 7:30 PM with a collective workshop by Claire van der Mee and a live drawing performance by Alex Winters, followed by a DJ set by DJ Lian and DJ Dané. From 7 p.m. you can enjoy an Ethiopian meal for 10 euros in the café.
The exhibition is open from Friday April 11 to Sunday April 13 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., admission is free. In addition, there are all kinds of activities in the exhibition space that you can participate in:
On Saturday April 12, the exhibition space will be dedicated to an intensive workshop program by Aukje Koelstra, Yasia Khomenko [SAMOPRINT] en Maaike Bol/ Maiami Prints.
On Sunday April 13, Dané Vonk will give the last workshop at 2 p.m. We then end the day and the event with a tour: this is a moment to look back on what has come together with artists, participants and visitors. Then we raise a glass before we step back into the world: In the Next Step, Everything Changes. (Let’s hope so!)
Program workshops
From April 10 to 13, 2025, Plantage Dok in Amsterdam will transform into a vibrant workshop of ideas and materials. In the large hall, where the exhibition In the Next Step, Everything Changes can also be seen, you can participate in no fewer than five workshops!
The event In the Next Step, Everything Changes is a lively space in which art unfolds, shifts and responds to who enters. The workshops are the beating heart of this process. These are moments of meeting, experimenting and making things together. Here you not only share a table, but also stories, techniques and perspectives.
Making
You will work under the guidance of artists who also show work in the exhibition. In an environment where nothing is set in stone, these sessions invite you to try, fail and start again. At the end of the day (Sunday April 13) we close together; all artists are present, and you can then take your creation home.
The theme ‘in motion’ revolves around change, migration and moving — both physically and mentally. In the workshops, the makers each approach this theme in their own way, in hands-on sessions in which you work with textiles, patterns and transfer techniques on paper and fabric. In the middle of the exhibition space, at large tables, ideas are converted into matter. What is created remains visible as part of the exhibition. It is a snapshot of four days of growth, movement and exchange.
Get involved!
Everyone is welcome! Participation in the workshops is on a donation basis (pay what you can, target price from €10 per workshop, based on material use). You can choose one workshop, or combine several—for example during the workshop marathon on Saturday April 12 from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
It is a good idea to register, because there is a limited number of places per workshop. Let us know when you want to come: schipperseva@gmail.com.

Workshop: What do you take with you to new places?
BY Claire van der Mee WITH Collage, textiles, transfer
We all take something with us to new places – an object, a thought, a feeling. In this workshop with Claire van der Mee we depict those memories in collage on fabric. Using cutting, transfer sheets and a heat press, we create a collective quilt together, which becomes a growing work of art in the exhibition In the Next Step, Everything Changes over four days.
👉 You can collect your contribution on Sunday afternoon, April 13, or make an appointment with Eva Schippers (schipperseva@gmail.com) the following week to collect your memory!
