In the Next Step, Everything Changes
Exhibition and workshops | working in motion & experiments
From Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 April 2025, the Plantage Dok will transform into a vibrant space of experiment and movement with In the Next Step, Everything Changes. This four-day event brings a dynamic mix of exhibitions, live events, performances, workshops, film screening and… a tour.
Nothing is fixed here — work unfolds, takes new turns and makes the creative process visible. In the Next Step, Everything Changes has no end point, but an in-between space in which everything can still go either way. It is a place where art and ideas can still develop and where visitors and makers engage in dialogue.The theme 'in motion' revolves around change, migration and moving — both physically and mentally. It is about shifting borders and how displacement affects identity, memory and connection.
Participants [so far]: Dané Vonk, Sonia Kasovsky, Aukje Koelstra, Bobbie Fay Brandsen, Dorota Dabrowska, Karin van de Wiel, Maaike Bol, Claire van der Mee, Lily Harings, Alex Winters, Niké Dolman, Eva Schippers, Lian van de Wiel Yasia Khomenko and Mirjam Lang.
Activities
In the Next Step, Everything Changes opens on Thursday, April 10 at 7:30 PM with a collective workshop by Claire van der Mee and a live drawing performance by Alex Winters, followed by a DJ set by DJ Lian and DJ Dané. From 7 p.m. you can enjoy an Ethiopian meal for 10 euros in the café.
The exhibition is open from Friday April 11 to Sunday April 13 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., admission is free. In addition, there are all kinds of activities in the exhibition space that you can participate in:
On Saturday April 12, the exhibition space will be dedicated to an intensive workshop program by Aukje Koelstra, Yasia Khomenko [SAMOPRINT] en Maaike Bol/ Maiami Prints.
On Sunday April 13, Dané Vonk will give the last workshop at 2 p.m. We then end the day and the event with a tour: this is a moment to look back on what has come together with artists, participants and visitors. Then we raise a glass before we step back into the world: In the Next Step, Everything Changes. (Let's hope so!)

Workshop: Can I help you if I hang my laundry outside?
BY Aukje Koelstra WHAT textile, paint, templates
Using household textiles, we create a marking for people in need. We will work with used textiles, paint and other materials. Aukje works from textiles with an activist point of view, with respect to nature, people and the planet. Textiles and crafts have been used for centuries to transmit hidden information, together we search for the meaning behind these ancient symbols and develop new ones together.

Workshop: Manifest printing
BY Yasia Khomenko/ RCR KHOMENKO SAMOPRINT WHAT textile, transfer
SAMOPRINT is an interactive printing method, where through recycling and sustainable design we are challenged to take a critical look at traditional consumption models. We start with archetypal visual elements and change them [cut, rearrange, combine] to create our own social or political statement. Bring a piece of clothing you can work on!

Workshop: Moving/ Riso printing
BY Maaike Bol/ Maiami Prints WHAT Riso print, collage, water paint
In this workshop we will create a Zine together, starting with the concept of moving lines and migration of plants, animals and people. You get the chance to discover Riso printing in a playful way. We experiment with analogous materials such as collage and watercolor and create a practice-oriented design. After this we can start printing! Everyone gets a copy to take home.

Workshop: Moving at home
BY Dané Vonk WHAT Paper, drawing, building
How does moving and moving around your home affect your identity? Together with Dané Vonk we investigate these questions using paper. We build a model with facades of houses we have lived in. We think back to the memories in these houses, and reflect on the housing crisis and the hassle surrounding moving. An interactive workshop for anyone who has ever wondered what 'home' actually means.
