Refresh Amsterdam #3: Imagine the future

The exhibition features artworks by 15 contemporary artists and a solo exhibition by Raquel van Haver. Also on display are wishes for the future submitted by the public. Young people were also given a voice in the "Next Generation" section, in which they share their vision of the future.

For Refresh Amsterdam #3: Imagine the Future, the Amsterdam Museum commissioned fifteen artists to create work on urgent themes that affect our shared future. They not only explore how art and creativity can help us imagine what is to come, but also call for us to actively help shape the future.

Participating artists: Frank Ammerlaan, Sebastián Díaz Morales, Ivna Esajas, Koen Hauser, Raquel van Haver, Ischa Kempka, Minne Kersten, Natascha Libbert, Brigitte Louter, Fiona Lutjenhuis, Afagh Morrowatian & Roshanak Morrowatian, Buhlebezwe Siwani, Patricia Werneck Ribas, Don Yaw Kwaning & Maurits de Bruijn and 4Siblings Collective.
