During this three-day festival, a new generation of designers and performing artists from all over the world are given the opportunity to show their work to a broad (inter)national audience. The program with exhibitions, performances, talks, workshops and fashion film screenings, showcases projects that explore, contextualize and celebrate contemporary fashion culture.

De Meldkamer
Mira Verhoeve and Dirk Vaessen come together in their love for a playful approach of simple shapes and accessible materials, centering the vulnerable human body in their designs and performances. ‘Building a House or Digging a Hole’ can be described as an interdisciplinary, physical and disorienting presentation on the border of design and performance. Inspired by mazes and the strong yet fragile nature of paper, Dirk and Mira present their research in which they ask questions on the search for identity and the manufacturability of a utopia.
Lili Jullian x ATTIC*
Lili Jullian is a circular brand that creates genderless, upcycled ready-to-wear items, linked to the movement of eco-feminism. The modularity of each piece is made as a goal to always re-new the first feeling the buyer has for the piece and functions as a matter of sustainability and inclusivity: your body shape can change, the pieces adapt.
ATTIC*
Secondhand and vintage clothing store ATTIC*, want to focus on good, fun and affordable secondhand clothing and accessories. The idea is that we can dress from the amount of existing clothes. You will find at Attic a selection of furniture and ‘curiosa’ in addition to the range of mainly women’s clothing.

The Body Collective
An artist initiative by artists/designers Chequita Nahar, Anke Huyben and Katja Prins. They collaborate on initiating, organizing and producing exhibitions and other events such as lectures, talks, film screenings amongst others and aspire to be a leading platform for dialogue and encounter between design and the visual arts. The Body Project is an ongoing dialogue between different makers, their work and its focus on the body. They aim to re-contextualize the context of jewelry by examining the relationship with the body as a framework and questioning the relationship between the body and the object.
ULKAAN
A collaboration between Kaan Hiçyilmaz and Ulkuhan Akgul. Kaan’swork emerges from the reciprocation between the human body (self) and the built environment, in which he investigates elements of control directed to affect one’s physical and mental conditioning. As a multidisciplinary designer, Ulkuhan combines fashion and digital media to explore how identity, politics, and social issues intersect. With a focus on disrupting conventional identity classifications, the collaboration which results in their work called ‘cid’, combines fashion and digital technology to explore the semiotics of the human body beyond binary structures.
