Marlou Fernanda: A Time for Everything

Evening opening | 19:30-23:00

In the evening, we celebrate the opening of the first major solo exhibition by Rotterdam-based artist Marlou Fernanda. This multidisciplinary solo exhibition marks ten years of independent artistic practice by Fernanda (b. 1996), inviting visitors into her vibrant, personal, and at times confronting world, where self-expression and claiming space take centre stage.
