KMSKA LATE - De Trappen Takeover
Category:
Date:

On this KMSKA LATE, young people completely take over the museum! The youth program of KMSKA, De Trappen, proudly presents their own mini-exhibition: ‘Children of the Internet’. In this exhibition, they make a surprising connection between their digital world and the old masters. They reveal what occupies their minds today, the challenges and opportunities that the digital age offers, and how these themes are reflected in their own work. Discover how, for example, they link the concept of ‘abundance’ to the digital world, or how the internet can evoke feelings of ‘helplessness,’ and much more.
In addition to the exhibition, there is plenty more to experience that evening. Take part in an introductory workshop, follow a musical tour through the museum, and meet young and innovative artists. Enjoy a diverse program full of inspiring activities.
