New Generations meet-up - October 1

To all NL-based young makers, DutchCulture offers the chance to connect with peers from different disciplines in the cultural and creative sector - from filmmakers to slam poets, from digital artists to dancers. Together, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities of working internationally experienced by this new generation of emerging artists.

DutchCulture aims to learn from a new generation of dream chasers, because they have - perhaps more than ever - the drive and ambition to realize meaningful cultural exchange. We will discuss the social and societal themes that are reflected in their work and we take a curious stance towards what drives this generation to work internationally.

The event will be kick-started with a short conversation between artists of various disciplines, and in various stages in their careers. Read the short introductions below to get to know them better:

Loradeniz started to look for her own sound when she settled In Amsterdam after finishing her studies in music. Being a long-time music digger and having a background in classical music to composing contemporary music, scoring for screen to singing, she separates herself from many others.
