The Exhibition
For this year's celebration, we invited eleven female artists to display their uniquely created artworks at Contemporary Art Lab. Coming together in the exhibition 'Moving Through Stillness' curated by Shaquille Shaniqua Joy, each work translated a feeling of finding calmness. Creating universal experiences through the people that can relate and contributing to a community in which vulnerability is celebrated. The result was a beautiful day of connecting with the artworks and each other while finding calmness collectively.

The Donation Hub
Situated next to our exhibition space, you could find our donation hub. A place where our community came together to give back by donating to ELANCE Academy in exchange for a T-shirt print of one of the displayed artworks. It warmed our hearts to see how many people stopped by and contributed on our journey of giving back.

Dancing Into A New Year Of Air Max
As the day evolved, we enjoyed delicious Strawberry Lychee Buttercream mochi donuts made by our friends from Nobu Amsterdam, thirst quenching Gin-based cocktails by Roku Gin, and tasty Surinamese snacks by Liss Kitchen. With music provided by Folake, Kinnari and Deemz, we ended our day dancing into a new year of Air Max together.
