Dimitri van Nimwegen
Three years ago, by translating his Russian grand mothers diary, Dimitri found out a wonderful secret story. Fascinated, he decided to build up a movie project based on this true story, that he will later call ¨Natascha¨.
Caro Verbeek
Caro is an art historian and an expert in olfactory and tactile art. With her lectures, articles and workshops, she discusses about a sensory reconstruction of the history of art of the 20th century, in which the 'lower' senses (smell, touch, taste, kinesthesia) occupy their rightful position. During her presentation, you will be transported by her aroma jockey Scentmen.
Suzanne van Beest
Suzanne is a designer. She created, for instance, "Wonderpus" a design product inspired by the octopus. This body accessory is made of a special silicone rubber and allow the user to inflate and change the shape of it. The user can also choose to flaunt the natural glossiness of the material or make it opaque by powdering it.

PJ Roggeband
A selection of PJ Roggeband's work: wearable gardens; a footnote machine; swear words for artists; Seagrape-masks. But most notably, 2013 marked the end of an 11-year-long project during which he explored everything related to the number 11, and in specific 11-letter words. We thought it a good time to ask: what next?
Marc de Leeuw
Marc de Leeuw uses both still and moving images to create absurd animated shorts. Commonplace elements such as hairdryers, muffins and domestic animals - have an entirely different function in the alternate reality of the stories. In contrast to the frivolous and random flow of events, the general undertone is usually quite cynical.
Amsterdamse Lijnen
Cycling through the Kinkerstraat is a lot more fun since several pillars are currently covered with works of renowned cartoon artists from Amsterdam. Fourteen artists are participating in this street exhibition, including the first Dutch graphic novelist Peter Pontiac, Dirkjan and Floris-designer Remco Polman.
