Klachtenkoor
The Complaints Choir is back and looking for new voices to turn complaining into an art form. The Complaints Choir is a DIY, community art project in which singers and non-singers alike come together to sing about their complaints. Led by musician Azubike Onwuka, the choir will explore different perspectives and issues by complaining, composing and singing together. The Complaints Choir is serious and light-hearted, and makes room for both recognition and humour.

We have been thinking about this recently with artist Mercedes Azpilicueta who will be employing her sculptures as characters and composite costumes for children as well as building a sensory experience where children and adults can experience play as an act of invention rather than mere imitation.
