How communities take over the museum

Context

On ‘Bonnefanten First Fridays’ (BFF), The Bonnefanten Museum invites a community. The organisation, club, foundation or NGO get to curate an evening at the museum. And they can invite their friends, how cool is that? It’s a fun and friendly way for the museum to lower their threshold and broaden their audience.

Our take

Our concept for the BFF campaign touches the core of what communities are. Inclusive and fun with a do-it-yourself mentality. Put that in an environment like the museum, and it creates an interesting visual tension. We feel that it shows the approachability of the Bonnefanten Museum.

Our role

Campaign development, Film, Photography, Animation, Creative direction, Casting.

Photography

Site-specific installations make a bold statement in the city, creating intriguing images for the Bonnefanten First Fridays events.
