Creatuals Breaking patterns. Moving minds.

What if we could use the city as a giant canvas and let the river collect our dreams?

WijkKrijten > We Chalk the City is a simple creative ritual that can happen almost anywhere.

At a festival in Feijenoord at the end of August, organised by Stichting Wijk Collectie Rotterdam, we tested the Creatual concept for the first time.

Old and young people reached for the piece of chalk, getting down on their knees to draw their stories on the concrete along the Maas.

Small groups of strangers imagine, associate and draw symbols together:

How do we see our neighbourhood?
What do we love?
And what would we change if we had magical powers?

Rotterdam has plenty of concrete. So why not use the city itself as a canvas?

We photograph the drawings and then leave them behind.

When the rain comes, the stories slowly disappear into the river.

The city carries the stories onwards.

And what did people dream about?

🦄 Turning into a unicorn to make people happy - and letting people ride and fly on you. 🍭 Clouds falling from the sky like candy floss.🏊 A swimming pool in the garden. 🛝 A BIG slide for everyone.🌳 Less concrete. More green. A fruit forest that makes people happy. 🍳 More cooking, eating and sharing recipes. Maybe a pancake bar. And fries with pink mayo.🎨 A creative place where people can meet, make and connect.
💛 More respect. More empathy. More togetherness. 🔐 And a neighbourhood vault filled with gold bars - to make the neighbourhood better.

Big dreams. Small wishes. Crazy ideas. Serious needs.

Behind the drawings many stories. We talked, listened and collected what people experience, need and long for.
A neighbourhood full of imagination.
A city full of stories.

Art for Human Connection.

An exhibition on New Energy is opening tonight at the Rijksmuseum. Must see!

Another amazing story by my close friend, Kadir van Lohuizen. Some of these images I witnessed with my own eyes while travelling with him to Poland, Denmark, Norway and Germany.

Now, this journey through the North Sea’s energy transition comes together in an exhibition, a book and a television series.

And next I believe he’s taking the story global.

We both love swimming but rain is another way of getting wet. We both prefer watching nature loving it and hearing the ticking on the umbrella, over letting it fall on our heads. “Hey Kaya, lets dance in the rain now!”

__________When people become part of the art_________

Art Week Berlin was, once again, an experience. I didn’t see much, but what I did see was cool, inspiring and sometimes completely crazy. You have to pick your moments and places.

Today… an after art week visit to the Neue National Gallery to see the Italian artist ‘Cattelan’. His mind and work touched me immensly!

Intrigued to see people interact with, or even dissolve into art. As I do my self when I talk to it.

ALL DOORS OPEN > 15–16 AUGUST

Different lenses create different realities.

This weekend I opened all the doors of Dom Wilka with no programme, no expectations and no fixed group.

Just: come if you can, and let’s see what happens.

Around one table, almost complete strangers from very different worlds came together: conservation, environmental policy, film, teaching, psychology, branding, the Air Force, space technology, crime writing.

We talked about climate, deforestation, technology, waste, human behaviour, feminism, work, startups and money.

What struck me was how quickly professional bubbles disappeared. People became curious about each other’s work, challenged assumptions, connected unexpected ideas - and inspired one another.

One conversation about space débris cemeteries and bringing an old satellite back to Earth made it tangible: even something that seems like a simple technical problem can have consequences far beyond itself.

The bigger and more complex the challenge, the more perspectives we need.

What looks like a problem through one lens can become an eye-opener through another.

That is what All Doors Open is about.

Not only opening the doors of Dom Wilka, but opening doors between people, disciplines, ideas and worlds.

Next All Doors Open will probably be in autumn.

If you’d like to join, reach out and I’ll put you on the invitation list.

THE TIDE BENEATH THE IMAGE

During the years of isolation and uncertainty, my dreams return with extraordinary intensity. Vivid and surreal, they sometimes feel connected to something larger than myself - a collective longing for peace, safety, and human connection in a world increasingly shaped by power and division.

Nature seems to echo this tension. Fires, earthquakes, storms, and darkening skies remind me that balance is fragile. What appears calm from one perspective can reveal a very different reality when viewed from another side.

A few nights ago, I had a crazy and surreal dream. I felt deeply inspired to transform it into an image.

In the dream, I dove into a photograph of Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid as if it were water. Once inside, I became her. Filled with an urgent desire to help restore balance, I plunged deeper into the sea, chasing dangerous fish. There, many political leaders appeared as invasive fish - symbolic figures within the dream landscape, representing forces of disruption and control. I caught three of them in particular with hooks that emerged from my long red curls.

Back on the rock, I imprisoned them in my net. They created chaos, longing to be released back into the ocean… but slowly, they began to lose their color and their power.

When I woke, I was surprised by the intensity of the bizar story and the emotions it carried. Yet dreams are symbolic spaces where hidden feelings surface and impossible transformations become possible.

When People
Become Part
of the Art

What interests me most is the connection between people, and between people and the spaces or objects around them. I am curious about how people move through a space, how they dress, how they walk, stop, look, and interact with their surroundings.

For many years, I have photographed people in galleries, museums, and art spaces. While they look at artworks, I often wonder what they are thinking and feeling. I pay attention to their body language, their posture, and the way they respond to what they see.

For me, art is often more interesting when people are in the room. They bring something extra to the artwork and the space. Their presence creates new stories and new ways of seeing.

This series is about those moments. The people in the photographs are not only looking at the art - they become part of it. Their movements, expressions, and presence add another layer to the scene. In a way, they become artworks themselves within the photograph.

From time to time, I will share images from this ongoing series. I hope the people I photographed are ok for me to post them, because they are an important part of these moments where art, space, and people come together.
