Het Nieuwe Instituut

As an extension of their short film AS TOLD TO G/D THYSELF, The Ummah Chroma collective provides a sacred space at Het Nieuwe Instituut entitled G/D THYSELF: Spirit Strategy On Raising Free Black Children. The sacred space invites visitors to explore themes of meta-physical transcendence, spirituality, and self-expression.

This exhibition considers the role of a fashion garment as a socio-political carrier. The hoodie is a staple of contemporary dress, hyped as a trend and a must-have item; but elsewhere it is also a topic of moral panic, banned by certain institutions and dissected by the media as an emblem of inequality, crime or deviancy.Curated by writer and curator Lou Stoppard.

What is talent? When is someone considered a talent? Which values and qualities do we attribute to the concept?

This year, Disclosing Architecture pays special attention to restoring 190 works – mostly vulnerable tracings – from the Theo van Doesburg collection. In May, the exhibition Atelier Nelly en Theo van Doesburg opens in Gallery -1.

Total Space explores interdisciplinary exchanges between the fields of architecture, urban planning, anthropology and systems theory. The installation Animal Encounters is part of the Total Space project.
