INTERPLAY I want to be able to touch feelings, characteristics and climb through memories.I’m curious to find ways to trigger the interplay between our inside and our outside world, and how to fit one into the other. I invite their textile covered forms into human spaces for others to experience and explore on their own terms.

LASERGAME 2410 The Laser Game Adventure: Welcome to the year 2410, a world where the pursuit of perfection takes an ominous twist. In this immersive laser game adventure, you'll find yourself transported to a future defined by cultural homogenization, where uniformity prevails, and mannequin-like people occupy the streets. But it's not too late to change the course of history. Designed by Maja Sobotta and Lisa Martens	NET-WORK With the artwork “Net-work”, Roeland depicts the underlying connection between all entities on Earth in the shape of a large net. The net is crafted from grass collected in the Mastbos in Breda. Through this poetic process, Roeland beautifully combines human action and nature into a single artwork. Humanity and nature are inseparably connected. We are nature, and nature is us. By caring for nature, you ultimately care for yourself.

From subtle make-up to super extra, we will make sure that the Nieuwe Veste is full with Funky Faces!

STILLS OF DEEPTIME Ster Borgman sees themselves as a magical scientist and have been researching rust in glass. Rust is something hybrid, something that grows and even overgrows. When you look at glass, it pretends not to move, but when you look away it starts dripping and flowing everywhere: it's slow, but unstoppable. Rust tells a story about deep time; how it bursts out of the earth in the form of iron and then slowly oxidizes through the rain. Learn and see more at the festival!	LARS & HET VOLUME Lars is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter who started making music at the age of 8. After several years as a percussionist, he taught himself to play the guitar and piano at the age of 16. To add some color to his musical skills, Lars also started singing and writing his own lyrics. He will not only perform solo but also with his new live band "Het Volume". Together with his live band he delights the audience with energetic yet sensitive Dutch-language songs.	THE THIRD SPACE In this space there is connectivity. In this space we can leave our work behind. Our home is of no importance here. This is the space where everything is a possibility. We use our imagination to shape this space. The shape of this space is fluid. We meet each other, we meet the space. What does this space ask of us? What do we need to be in this space? Help us build a Third Space.

AN UNBREAKABLE CONCEPT These masks distort the space into a dystopian place. Through the alienation they bring, I hope to pull people out of normality for a brief moment. Normality is determined by the frequency of occurrence and how well we perceive it. Is it still possible to break that norm? Are there still unknown, abnormal territories, or have we seen everything and are we no longer surprised by anything?	STUDIO SERIGRAPH Before the invasion, Jenya and Anne created illustrated projects, zines, and screenprints. In 2015, they co-founded PRINT FEST, the first festival for printmaking in Kiev. Additionally, the duo illustrated various books and engaged in many multidisciplinary projects that blended illustration with other disciplines. Apart from their joint projects, they also work individually as illustrators, each with their own themes and methods.	ENVELOPES WALL Discover the enchantment behind the Envelope Wall!

WE; REFLECTIVE BEINGS Self-reflection can be a radical activity for anyone. It requires asking real questions and maintaining an open mind. Self-reflection means looking at yourself outside of your personal frame of reference. This means facing up to past choices and their consequences, and maintaining the urge to keep growing. During a two-month artist residency, Julia van Ravenstein researched a way to use space to influence introspection and shed light on vital internal processes that often go unnoticed, even by the ones experiencing them.	SHARED CANVAS Oh yes! A shared canvas. During one of the brainstorm sessions, there was a request to create a cool image together. Of course, we listened to this. That's why we're introducing the shared canvas. Do you want to know what you need to do for this? Find it at the festival!	PIMP YOUR VINYL RECORD Giving a creative revamp to a vinyl record? Awesome!
