What's on

Graduation Show WDKA 2025

Join us for a showcase of work and projects by this year's Bachelor's and Master's graduates from the Willem de Kooning Academy!

Experience a hybrid selection of digital and analogue works, with highlights from over 150 talented graduating students — all presented at Katoenhuis!

Turning Tides Residency program

The Turning Tides Residency is a program that invites artists to create mobile, floating art installations on top of WasteSharks—autonomous vessels designed to efficiently collect waste from the water. It aims to raise awareness about water pollution while showcasing a tech-driven, innovative approach to environmental cleanup. Beyond its practical impact, the residency offers artists a unique platform for experimentation at the intersection of art, technology, and sustainability. This way, the project not only raises environmental consciousness but also introduces audiences to the work of diverse artists.

TEC ART | The Bright Side of Dystopia

TEC ART returns to Katoenhuis with a selection of international media artists under the theme "The Bright Side of Dystopia". This year's festival edition argues that even during society’s race to the bottom, hope is always to be found. The exhibition is a dramatic attempt to look beyond the utter madness of reality and share a message of hope: perhaps after total collapse we can finally see a bright side again!

Design Biennale Rotterdam

Set within the expansive, high-ceilinged spaces of Katoenhuis, a series of installations and exhibitions delve into materiality, technology, and production in design. One series of installations and films rethinks material innovation, exploring how resources are repurposed and reimagined, while a show curated by Wumen Ghua examines the role of AI and intelligence in shaping contemporary design. Together, these exhibitions challenge traditional notions of making, pushing the boundaries of both process and possibility.
