For some months Iโ€™ve been working on my photoseries โ€˜Betting on Enschedeโ€™.
Following 5 different collectives in Enschede who are building their new physical space.

Their dedication to spend time, energy and money to build a space is amazing

Will be showing at the @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social warming

Long story short: last year we ran a crowdfunding campaign to renovate our new space, and we're having a lot of fun producing the rewards for our supporters. The tattoos are ready!! They're incredible. Maybe we'll keep them as permanent merch ;) ... (Designs by Julian Mostert)

We've been quiet, but that's because we're working hard preparing the opening of our new spaceโฃ๏ธ That means slowing down in January and February and only having a couple of events, but it will be worth it. SAVE THE DATE: February 27 and 28, Sickhouse comes back to life!

We are definitely looking forward to play HORSES (release is on 2dec!) The strangness, the cinematic atmosphere and the challenging topics are what we love to see in games. If you care, the studio need attention.โค๏ธ
