Raising Doubt 

Do you live your dream? Help with the creation of a flower infographic.

Are you fundamentally lonely? Do you break taboos? Join us and Raise Doubts (Twijfel Zaaien) in Amsterdam's newest hotspot: Dijkspark. Thirty questions about life and art lead you along the green walkway. You answer these questions by sowing flower seeds. This way your answers will grow out to become part of a lush infographic, and you will get to know what type of artist you would have been.

You can partake in this art installation on the 22nd and 23rd of June from 12:00 to 18:00.

Open Tours

Life in Plastic is not Fantastic 

Fashion Show by iNDiViDUALS

We, GENERATION26, challenged ourselves to make a change from a fashion perspective in an environment where we can all be found: the supermarket.

By being a part of the fashion industry, we embrace creativity, but feel responsible for the consequences of our choices. It is no secret that the fashion industry has a share in the excessive use of plastic. The world has become more dirty than ever and not because we forgot to clean our glasses. We, GENERATION26, do not live in a pink bubble and are here to look beyond our own industry in order to explore various solutions for the problems threatening our people and planet.

During our event, we will be giving an insight in our creation process, showcasing our collection presentation as well questioning the industry regarding plastic consumption and waste. Part of our collection is in collaboration with Jumbo: one of Holland’s leading supermarkets who challenged us to design a bag that adapts to a sustainable future and the wearer’s needs.

This event will be on the 19th of June. Buy tickets
