Een museumnacht editie van een SEXYLAND WORLD full house take-over! Een uiterst geschikte kans om nogmaals het volledige pand en al haar poging te aanschouwen voor de sluiting in december.

@ No Limits! Art Castle (4 oktober tot 14 december)
Boujloud is een Islamitische/inheemse ritueel dat voortkomt uit een eeuwenoude legende en volgt op het offeren van een schaap tijdens Eid al-Kebir. Dit fabuleuze wezen, half mens en half beest, is de belichaming van goddelijke straf en paradeert als een gemaskerde, non-binaire diva door de straten van Zuid-Marokko. Boujloud kreunt, zingt en negeert moeiteloos alle regels.
Vandaag de dag wordt Boujloud in Agadir omgetoverd tot een ultiem spektakel van zelfexpressie. Jongeren creëren oogverblindende outfits, dragen traditionele juwelen, en hebben hun face painted for the gods. They’re serving “DRAG”! Deze visuele kunstvorm daagt de heteronormatieve norm uit en brengt nieuwe, ongekende rolpatronen en identiteiten in de spotlight. Dit ritueel biedt een podium en viert gemeenschappen die elders moeilijk hun plek kunnen vinden. Vanuit het dragen van kostuum krijgen zij anonimiteit als een podium om acceptatie te vinden waar dat normaal niet mogelijk is.
BOUJLOUD = ABOU+DJILD => ABOU = MEESTER | DJILD = HUID
Wie is vandaag de meester van de huid? Wie switcht beter tussen identiteiten en heeft de beste drip? The queens of multi-layered fabulosity – JE RAADT HET AL, DE QUEERS!!!!
De tentoonstelling Boujloud borduurt verder op de thema’s van deze optocht. Deze thema’s worden onderzocht vanuit het sprankelende perspectief van hedendaagse kunstenaars zoals Sarjon, Imad Zoukanni, DJ Cheb Runner, Hussein Shikha, en anderen. Deze kunstenaars verhouden zich zowel tot de S.W.A.N.A.-identiteit en/of de queer community. Hoe kan kunst ervoor zorgen dat veronderstelde botsende identiteiten op een fluïde manier toch samen kunnen komen?
19:30 - 21:30
Duo kunstenaars: Ahmad Mallah en Rebecca Lillich/ Krüger, In samenwerking met filmmaker Jesse Immanuel Bom. Tijdens Museumnacht wordt een film vertoond over het maakproces van het werk, daarna volgt een artist talk met de Duo kunstenaars en hun collaborator Jesse Bom.
In het werk van Mallah + Lillich / Krüger worden alledaagse voorwerpen gebruikt als herkenbare symbolen van verbinding, waardoor een open framework van definitie ontstaat voor de eigen percepties en het verleden van de kijker om een nieuwe betekenis te geven. Op deze manier wordt het geheugen zowel persoonlijk als gemeenschappelijk gebruikt.
The Ladder (2023) was de eerste samenwerking van het duo; een reeks performatieve taken rond het opbouwen en behouden van vertrouwen door middel van risico’s die zich manifesteren in liveoptredens en video-installaties. Het werk werd ontwikkeld in residentie bij Art House Holland, Leiderdorp NlL. In samenwerking met de filmmaker Jesse Immanuel Bom ging in het werk in première op de tentoonstelling Art Rotterdam/Prospects-Mondriaan Fonds 2024 en werd later live uitgevoerd op Oerol Festival 2024 (Terschelling,) Schunck Museum 2024
(Heerlen,) en Van Gogh Museum 2024 (Amsterdam) om een selectie te noemen. Met dit unieke raamwerk als start nadert het paar nu hun volgende productie: The Price of Bricks. Terwijl The Ladder op persoonlijk vlak een introductie was tot hun groeiende relatie en politiek gezien een daad van luisteren en vertrouwen, is The Price of Bricks een echo van een jaar van verandering en overleving.
The Price of Bricks in zijn eenvoudigste vorm is een kamer van stenen; de vele manieren waarop deze unieke stenen worden gebruikt, creëren filosofische echo’s van grenzen, wantrouwen, veiligheid en de kracht van constructie. Deze thema’s zullen worden verkend door middel van een reeks performatieve taken, waarbij onze eigen grenzen worden gedecodeerd door middel van bouwoefeningen. Het doel is om een installatie landschap te creëren, een magazijnvloer gevuld met stapels en muren van bakstenen die via onze optredens en videoinstallaties betekenis en animatie krijgen.

A special evening with three acts; g a b b r o, the wonderful project of Belgian saxophonist Hanne de Backer, who did a musical walking tour with Andreas Bral, Raf Vertessen and a camel. Next to that we have a first time collaboration between DJ Sniff & drummer Frank Rosaly plus a solo of the Greek-Cypriot violinist Alkistis Misouli.
G a b b r o is a conglomerate of sounds, musicians and places led by Belgian saxophonist Hanne De Backer. The aim of each production of g a b b r o is to confront improvised music with unexpected locations and explore the impact of these locations and its inhabitants on the music itself.
The latest project of g a b b r o resulted in Hanne De Backer’s first work as a moviemaker: in March ’21 she walked the whole Belgian coastline together with pianist Andreas Bral, Brooklyn based drummer Raf Vertessen, their instruments and a camel. Alongside the road, the trio played improvised sets based on their impressions and the physical challenges they endured. The journey was filmed and recorded and edited into a 45’-musical and poetic documentary AS WE WALK (2023). Tonight this trio will perform live.

Sometimes, surprises bring the best opportunities! Due to a last-minute cancellation at Sexyland, we’re thrilled to step in and take over the evening’s program. It’s the perfect chance to come together again, connect, and get warmed up for all the unique and exciting plans we have lined up for next year! Behind the scenes, we’re working hard on everything we’ll be bringing to you in 2025.
As always, we aim to keep our events donation-based, but Sexyland requires a modest €3 entry fee for this night. Anything you contribute beyond that will go directly to support KØLT’s future projects. Let’s make this unexpected night one to remember—see you there!

versterken van de vreugde en het welzijn van ouderen
De happening Echo’s van Vreugde biedt een bijzondere ervaring die gericht is op het versterken van de vreugde en het welzijn van ouderen. De bijeenkomst brengt o.a. werken samen van diverse kunstenaars die hun inspiratie putten uit het idee van tijdloze vreugde, herinnering en verbondenheid.
We nodigen bezoekers uit om stil te staan bij de schoonheid van het alledaagse leven, zelfs in de latere jaren. Centraal in het evenement staat de interactie tussen kunst en de emotionele beleving van ouderen. Door kunstzinnige expressie worden herinneringen geprikkeld, gesprekken gestimuleerd en gevoelens van eenzaamheid verminderd.
Alle kunstwerken zijn zorgvuldig geselecteerd om toegankelijk te zijn en een gevoel van herkenning en vreugde op te roepen. Naast de visuele kunst zijn er interactieve workshops waarin deelnemers worden aangemoedigd om zelf creatief aan de slag te gaan. We creëren een veilige ruimte voor reflectie en het herontdekken van vreugde, met als doel het bevorderen van mentale gezondheid en sociaal welzijn onder mensen in de tweede helft van hun leven.

November Chords is a collaborative project between the ensemble Sonora Ensemble and composer Julia Constance Wiger-Nordås where we aim to present a concert that stands out as a listening experience. The idea is to create an intimate experience for the audience where we use the space to create different atmospheres based on the music. We want it to be all about listening and how the placement of the performers and audience helps the experience.
The music is contemporary music with traditional instrumentation, but we want to challenge the stigma of classical music concerts and make a concert where we try to remove the 4th wall between the audience and performers. Therefore we also try to play in untraditional places for our instrumentation.

Presented by SEXYLAND and Yunil Jeon, Quixotic invites viewers into a space where idealism, hedonism, and balance intersect. In Quixotic, Yunil transcends the title of “photographer,” embracing his role as an artist who employs photography alongside other mediums, capturing and borrowing momentum to express his vision. This transformative process mirrors SEXYLAND’s own multi-layered nature, a venue that unites identities, art forms, and functions. For Quixotic, SEXYLAND transforms into a surreal, immersive environment, each room hosting photo installations that lend the space an eerie allure and the unpredictability of a haunted house, inviting viewers to confront a world both intimate and strangely quixotic.
Through Quixotic, Yunil celebrates idealism, exploration, and liberation. This expo is an invitation to transcend conventional perspectives and see the world as it might be through the lens of unrestrained imagination.
14 Nov - 14 Dec
About Yunil Jeong
A multidisciplinary, self-taught artist, Yunil (1997, Seoul) challenges the boundaries of cultural and societal norms. His extensive multicultural experience has fostered a uniquely thought-provoking vision, blending Eastern and Western, temporal and personal influences in revolutionary and previously unexplored ways.
Yunil breaks away from traditional artistic forms, challenging the standardized imagery of the contemporary era through his unconventional approach. With photography as his main medium, he creates avant-garde yet nostalgic visuals that captivate viewers with their raw emotion and original themes. His work offers a graphic interpretation of the world around us, characterized by poetic yet impactful visuals.
Yunil is based in Amsterdam and has been SEXYLAND’s House Documentarist since 2023.

Hyper focus exhibition and experimental performance
I AM OVERWHELMED BY IMAGES is an exhibition inviting around 30 artists to install site specific works in the space of Sexyland, including live presentations and audio performances, interactive works and every type of imagery you can imagine. The whole space of Sexyland will be overwhelmed by images. If everything is image and Sexyland and the world are already covered in images, then how do we layer images on top of that?
I AM OVERWHELMED BY IMAGES turns Sexyland into a hyperreality bubble with its own rules, that recreates an image of reality. People turn themselves into images, they explore diving in an out of an image, make images about how images affect them, collect images of exhibition visitors, advocate for how much they are against being overwhelmed by images, build spaces for discussing images, use technology to analyse visitor behaviour towards image and much more.
The curator of the exhibition believes in Post cringe and Anti curation. If there are already too many images then there is room for everyone to include their image.
“Build beautiful fantasies and stay delulu cause that’s the solulu.”

TODAY TODAY derived their name from Ghanaian English. Artist King Ayisoba voiced the more than contemporary now in this effective way.
Meis Vranken - guitar, voice, siren | Oscar Jan Hoogland - synths, guitar, voice
The Hobknobs are Yaël Dekker (The Klittens) and Arie van Vliet (Lewsberg), who have finally started working together after listening to each other’s music for years. They balance out their innate love for rules with a healthy disdain for authority.
Mime performer Jente de Motte made the audience of De Ruimte feel beautifully uncomfortable and hooked to her presence last year performing at The 2nd Stop is Jupiter.
About her work Jente says: My work is tragicomedy about humanity and their confusions, their wishes, their failures goals, their hopelessness. Their heroic efforts, attempts to understand what this is, this life, this reality, our reality. My work attempts to show people that nothing is certain and yet my work is about searching truth, the truth, even if it is only there for a moment.

Winter Pride: Safety Conference #2
Islamophobia is increasing throughout Europe, including Amsterdam. What does this mean for queer and trans people with a Muslim background?
Since October 7, it has become clear that the sense of security that many queer and trans Muslims find here is not self-evident. What steps can be taken to prevent the loss of sense of security? What does the increasing discrimination against Muslims mean for queer and trans people who embrace their faith and culture? How can the voices of queer refugees from Southwest Asia and North Africa be amplified?
This evening seeks solutions and connections and makes room for the unique experiences of queer and trans people with a Muslim background. The evening is curated and presented by Tofik Dibi and Simomo Bouj. Everyone with an interest in this theme is welcome.
In addition, there is an opportunity to visit the exhibition Boujloud Beats in No Limits! Art Castle, an exhibition that explores “otherness” in the SWANA region.

Inspired by the amazing Slimelight London, SpaceBunker is a club-night made for and by alternative youth, to form a sense of connectedness amongst various scenes.
I started this club event by myself in 2023 in the almighty Vondelbunker. , It’s purpose is to introduce and swallow you up into different realms of the gloomy electronic underground scene.
While it does not have a strict genre, the main theme is anything dark and melancholic, with a gothic undertone.
This is where EBM, cold-wave, dark techno, aggrotech, witchhouse, synth-pop, dark-italo and everything in between come together to create an unforgettable hypnotising experience. Legend has it, our crowds are always best dressed. And we love living up to this name every time l, so don’t be shy if one of our personal photographers takes individual pictures of you, we just want a reminder that we dress to impress in this bunker.
If you are uncomfortable with this or something else, please let us know on our social media or in person so everyone can be informed on it!
As we want this to be an enjoyable experience for everyone.
The night of the 28th we start off at 21:00 with the band IDLΞYES, an upcoming glitter goth band from the heart of Amsterdam. Founded in the back of an Amsterdam tram, this platonic throuple combines cutting-edge visuals with an exciting take on modern dark music. Founded out of a mutual love for the Japanese and London alternative scenes by LAMIA.NN and ARTEMIS, the duo recruited guitarist H!D to add an all-American flair. IDLEYES combines goth, trip hop, industrial and glam influences into a mix that’s intense, dark and danceable,
Found in 2012 the band Lifeless Past will start playing at 21:45. Known to blend darkwave, postpunk, garage and goth-rock to create a unique dark musical landscape.
The band consists of Satori (guitars, drumbeats and vocals) together with Brandon on percussions. Both members are currently living in the Netherlands but they are born and raised on the island of Curaçao.
The group’s unparalleled approach to postpunk music is
characterized by it’s steady and energetic drums, cascading melodic guitars, tantric basslines and bone chilling dark vocals.
And lastly to finish off the band performances of the night, at 22:30 Kill the Sleeper will play 1 hour of aggressive clubby aggrotech.
Hitting the scene like a whirlwind in 2012. The self proclaimed best aggrotech band in Sweden has been described as “two prettyboys who got lost on their way to the beach and somehow ended up on stage and decided to tear it up”. During the pandemic they took a break, but have now decided to resurrect. Harsher than ever, they promise to put on an unforgettable show.
After the bands finish, the DJs will turn the place into a dystopian clubnight.
At 23:30 Rotterdam based CVPID, founder of Spacebunker, will lure you back to the dancefloor from your smoking break with gloomy electronic tunes. She started her growing interest behind the decks, and the urge to create a dark clubnight with a growing alt community after her involvement with the gothic scene, which has slowly been dying down amongst young people. SpaceBunker is made with the idea, of being fuel to keeping the alternative subcultures alive in NL. Expect up-tempo EBM, catchy electronic melodies and goth club vibes.
Lastly DJ & producer STUGATS will takeover the decks with hard-techno tracks at 00:15. Known to be boundary-pushing and embrace the intensity of gabber. With a unique style that blends dark atmospheres, hard driving kicks, and vocals that push the limits, STUGATS captivates audiences seeking non-mainstream music. Starting in 2016, he explored genres like 4x4, bassline, and garage before finding his true love in techno. In 2018, he established the influential distribution label SFIGATIRECORDS, releasing music that challenges norms.

CASTAWAY is a SONIC x ART Festival inspired by the search for new artistic frontiers and topographies. From the early afternoon onwards numerous musical and sound performances will spill into every corner of Sexyland World, culminating in a public ferry performance and a late night DJ lineup.
We invite the SEXYLAND World community to float along on our 12 hour sonic art wave with numerous performances and sound artworks by international visual and musical artists, organized by FEVER Festival (@fevrfestival).
CASTAWAY FESTIVAL is an immersive sound journey that blurs the lines between music, lighting, performance art and nightlife to create a living, breathing installation. The one-day festival explores societal narratives of survivorship by challenging conventional thinking about resilience and linking societal survival to creative flourishing.
Curated by Lorenzo Piero Holder (@lorenzo_holder) the festival commences (3PM) with performances, video and light installations from various visual artists, including Lotus Rooijakkers (@lotusrooijakkers), Jon Skygge, Valerio Conti (@v.a.l_c), and open call winners, Na Haeun (@haeun.is.drawing) and (@ahn_sooliy_art) for @jesa_community, among others.
The evening program will kick-off with a public ferry performance at 7PM - 8PM at the Amsterdam Centraal Ferry Station (F2 towards Ijplein), which performed by The Anti-Choir (@singing_club_rotterdam) will culminate in a cacophony of happenings scattered across Sexyland.
Our DJ line up, including Berlin based DJ DATTA (@darcynatta) and DJ BÄRK (@berkduygun) will ring in the party from 10PM and play a mix of of house and dark electronic experimental tunes until 3AM.
