Artists Müge Yilmaz (TR) and Rosa Smits (NL) warmly invite the residents of Slotervaart to join them in imagining future animals and creatures for Amsterdam. What animals already live among us? Which ones once lived in these lands? And how might the animals of our surroundings look 200 years from now — or how would you imagine them?

During a workshop, hosted by Rosa, we’ll bring our imaginative creatures to life by painting with vibrant colors onto textiles. These designs will later transform into rich tapestries and some of the creatures will be sculpted into wood by Müge. We will paint all the works together in another workshop. All creations will be brought together in and around Lola Lieven’s project space.
