  • Roll in a tear
  • Speed tour in the exhibition
  • Zine-making workshop

 

De Beulingfeesten in De Nor

Artist Dennis Tyfus hosts a special evening in his social sculpture De Nor. From 7 pm onwards, a range of musicians and performers will take the stage—artists you are unlikely to encounter on more conventional stages.

19:00 - 01:00

Open-Air Short Films

Especially for Museumnacht, De Cinema has curated an eclectic short film programme inspired by the playful, anarchic world of Monster Chetwynd. And the best part? The films will be screened outdoors. In collaboration with De Cinema and De Kern.

19:45 - 20:45
20:45 - 21:45

Roll in a tear

At Tears (2021) by Monster Chetwynd, you can move around inside large transparent zorbs. Step into a sphere and become part of the artwork in the most rolling way possible!

19:45 - 21:45

Close-ups

Join a guide for a compact 30-minute dive into the exhibition by Monster Chetwynd. Discover how art can open up space for emotion, imagination, and resilience.

Make Your Own Zine

In this creative workshop, you’ll make your own zine: a mini-magazine filled with drawings, collages, ideas, and stories. Location: Shadow Animals Discovery Lab.

19:45 - 21:45
