Dreaming Whilst Black on Omroep Zwart

The second season of Dreaming Whilst Black premieres on February 19 on Omroep ZWART and NPO Start. Omroep ZWART will also host an exclusive screening in the presence of the two leads, Adjani Salmon and Dani Mosely, to which you are invited. The sharp and layered British comedy series, co-produced with A24, follows a young Ghanaian filmmaker trying to make a career amid everyday racism and a hostile system.To celebrate the launch of the new season, Omroep ZWART is organizing an exclusive screening at the Zandkasteel in Amsterdam. For this occasion, creator and lead actor Adjani Salmon and co-star Dani Mosely will travel from London to our capital. Following the screening, there will be an informative panel with Adjani and Dani, in which they will delve deeper into the creative process, the themes of the new season, and their experiences in the film and television world. This promises to be an inspiring evening, with unique insights into the making of a successful, international series. This event is organised in collaboration with our partners: Volkshotel, Patta, WhatsCulture, The Black Archives, and the NPO.In the new season of Dreaming Whilst Black, Kwabena lands his first directing gig on a television series called Sin and Subterfuge. Pressured by actors' egos on set and the commercial demands of executive producers, Kwabena increasingly finds himself at odds with his own ambitions and insecurities as a creator. Meanwhile, Maurice and Funmi navigate life with their newborn, and the arrival of Amy's sister adds to the dynamic. This season further delves into Kwabena's personal relationships and places his professional ambitions within a broader Black-British context. All of this is done with the same humor and warmth that made the first season so successful.Dreaming Whilst Black combines humour with sharp observations about systems and identity, as Kwabena continually clashes with expectations from his own environment.Stream season two of Dreaming Whilst Black from February 19th on NPO Start.

To celebrate the launch of our SS26 collection we hosted a party at our Patta Lagos store. Bringing perfomances from WAVESTAR, WEAREALLCHEMICALS and YANFSSSS alongside an exhibion from ADEDOLAPO. Sign up here to make sure you don't miss out on the next one.

In a harsh and fractured world, Pacific Ondergronds and KRUISPUNT return to Skatecafé to manifest for the second time. More night. More live energy after dark. Accessible, digestible, and truly representative—for and by everyone. That’s what we’re celebrating and manifesting this night. Three rooms. An abundance of the best local bands and DJs. And everything thick and loud, powered by a mighty, heavyweight sound system. Tickets available now.

Lagos-based industrial designer and artist Nifemi Marcus-Bello has brought his solo exhibition, “Material Affirmations – ORÍKÌ Acts I–III,” home, following a successful tour across the world. The show also proves to be a hometown favorite and has recently been extended for one week until January 17th, due to popular demand. Revolving around material and identity, “Oríkì” is a look at the past, present, and future through an exploration of bronze, aluminum, and copper. Named after a practice of praise poetry in the Yoruba culture, the show is a labor of love that took Nifemi around three-and-a-half years to complete. Coming back to Nigeria is a full circle moment for Nifemi, who draws from African traditions and finds his inspiration in his family. Speaking with Globetrotter Lab’s Kennedy Ashinze, Nifemi shares his views on the art landscape in Nigeria, his vision for open-source design, and more. 

For the first Visions of Visionaries instalment of 2026, Globetrotter Lab sits down with a true pillar of global street culture: Edson Sabajo, co-founder of Patta.Founded in 2004 by Edson and Guillaume "Gee" Schmidt, Patta has grown from a local Amsterdam boutique into a world-renowned independent ecosystem. The "Architecture of Independence" is their manual—a blueprint that prioritised cities like Milan and Lagos over the traditional industry hubs of Paris and Berlin. Built on Surinamese roots and a "people-first" philosophy, Patta remains the definitive case study on how a brand can scale globally while remaining fiercely sovereign.Recorded at Suudu Lagos—the members-only creative hub and home to Patta affiliates—this three-part series deconstructs the Patta manual. In Part 1, Edson reflects on the 360-degree journey from his heritage back to the African continent, and the raw energy he witnessed firsthand on the ground in Jakarta.  

A long-cherished dream is coming true. Split Records' very first release, SEXYLAND, is a reality. We're celebrating the launch with a listening session at Loop51, the venue with one of Amsterdam's coolest sound systems. RSVP and be there early!Split Records is SEXYLAND on one record. Two completely different musical geniuses on the A-side and B-side of one EP. The records, featuring exquisite artwork, are sold for €25. The profits will be used to finance the next EP.

Housed in a former NS warehouse next to Rotterdam-Zuid station, this raw industrial hall—rails still running across the floor—is being transformed into a new home for music, art, and experimentation.Founded by Sanne, Mark, and Onno, Shunter responds to a growing lack of space for electronic music, light art, performance, and work that lives between club and gallery—especially in Rotterdam-Zuid, where creative energy is high but structural space is scarce.Shunter will open about one weekend per month, with room in between for try-outs, experiments, and ideas still taking shape. The goal is to open this spring. To make that happen, the space needs basic infrastructure: toilets, a bar, sound insulation, and visitor facilities. €75,000 is required in total—€40,000 still needs to be raised through crowdfunding. Want to help bring Shunter to life? Donate if you can. Share the campaign. Talk about it. Or roll up your sleeves and help build.
