EVENT POSTPONED - IN BETWEEN: Building future-proof NightCulture with INC

EVENT POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS

Due to the current Code Yellow weather warning, it’s not responsible to gather outdoors on the construction site for safety reasons. Therefore it was decided to postpone our event at the building site of INC.The new event date will be announced after ADE. Make sure to fill out your contacts in the RSVP to stay up-to-date about the new event date. The team of inc. is looking forward to welcome you and exploring the space at an other date. Thank you for your understanding.

A year after its launch at the Stedelijk Museum, INC finds itself in a liminal state: both a construction site and a growing organisation, once again asking the question: What is an Institute of NightCulture?

INC (Institute of NightCulture) is the first building in Amsterdam fully designed and built from the ground up as a space dedicated to experimental night culture. More than a dance floor, INC will be a living, breathing cultural hub, a space where identity, creativity, and collective imagination can grow.

While its physical walls are still under construction, INC now invites the public for the very first time to step inside its future home. This is an opportunity to explore the building site not just as a place of transition, but as a space with its own meaning and energy.

For ADE, INC collaborates with poet and theater maker Marjolijn van Heemstra to transform the construction site into a place of pause. Together, we experience twilight: that in-between moment when day turns into night. Rather than rushing into darkness, Marjolijn invites us to slow down as the light fades and boundaries blur.

This program is part of INC’s mission to bring experimental night culture back to the city centre, creating a place where progressive night culture is produced, programmed, and documented. By opening its doors before opening night, INC invites the public to co-create and participate in shaping its identity.

During the evening, architect David Mulder van der Vegt will share insights into the physical space INC is creating. Afterwards, a member of the INC team will reflect on what has been achieved so far and what lies ahead in the coming year.
