Line-up

Kinnari

Asmae Amaddaou

Asmae Amaddaou (Gouda, 2001) is a writer, poet and spoken word artist. She graduated from the art academy in Utrecht. Last year she was selected for the Slow Writing Lab, and created a trilogy about power with literary organization Mooie Woorden. Previously she has performed on the stages of Lowlands, Paradiso, Nationale Opera en Ballet and het Koninklijke Schouwburg. She made her TV debut with the Vrouwejaars Conference. She signed with De Bezige Bij for her debut poetry collection and can’t wait to share her little words with the big world.

Eauxby

Eauxby is a videographer, photographer, musician and spoken word artist with Congolese roots. His work lives on the intersection of image and sound, of feeling and thought – where social themes and and human emotions meet. He looks for that which unites us, that which is often left unspoken but touches on a deeper level. The echoes of his roots reverberate through everything he creates, like a subtle yet sharp gaze upon the western influence on the global South. Art isn't just an expression for Eauxby, it's a form of resistance, a way to do right by the stories that should be heard.
