Curious about what’s possible with KickASS? Read a few examples here of initiatives that have been carried out with KickASS’s support:
Poetry at the Cobra Museum
Andrei Bocin-Dumitriu organized a poetry event at the Cobra Museum in collaboration with The Poet Ink, featuring performances, an open mic, and workshops. It was a place where residents came together around language, poetry, and creativity.
Mirrorology: Stories of Imperfection
Dolfina Pieterson created a series of portraits for Spiegelogie that focus on people and their personal stories about imperfection. The series evolved into an exhibition featuring 35 subjects and invited visitors to reflect on self-image, diversity, and inclusion. The project was made possible in part by KickASS.
Street Art in Public Spaces
Romy Bonis, also known as LomyBony, transformed a transformer station in Amstelveen into a colorful work of art. The mural features all kinds of recognizable Amstelveen landmarks and elements.
