2026-05-12 | Rossel Chaslie: mentor for 'Future': Child Artists on Their City exhibition at Amsterdam City Hall

Our fellow Rossel Chaslie was one of the mentoring artists for the children's exhibition 'Toekomst': Kinderkunstenaars over hun stad’' at the Amsterdam's City Hall.

This exhibition, themed 'Future', features artworks by Amsterdam children who participated in the Amsterdam Museum Camp, part of the ELJA Children's Museum Lab. During these creative weeks in May and the autumn holidays, children aged 9 to 12 collaborated with artists on artworks about their city. From a UFO and an animated film to a self-written rap and the imaginative 'cleaning monster': the works show how young Amsterdammers view their city – and how they imagine the future.

The works were developed under the guidance of artists Jan Hoek, Venus Jasper, Tessel Brühl, Rossel Chaslie, Lisa Konno, Annalies van Eerde, Afra Eisma, and Gerdien van Halteren, and demonstrate how young Amsterdammers imagine and question their surroundings.

You can see the exhibition from 6 May to 14 June.
