Talent Development @ Conflux
In 2026, the Creative Industries Fund NL is partnering with Conflux Festival to provide designers and makers from its Talent Development programme with a platform within the festival. This gives them the opportunity to showcase their practice, establish new connections, and further expand their professional networks.
Conflux is a multidisciplinary festival in Rotterdam that brings together contemporary art, design, technology and experimental music. During the 2026 edition, the exhibition Stimuleringsfonds presents talent will be on display at Keilepand (on 26 and 27 September), featuring the work of fifteen makers from the Talent Development programme. Working across a wide range of disciplines, these makers explore how art and design can contribute new perspectives on the social, cultural and technological challenges of our time.
Participating makers are: Johannes Equizi, Miao Li, Maaike Rabbinge, Shin Hua Yang, Kaj Boonstra, Justyna Chmielewska, Hung Lu Chan, Sangmin Oh, Gaia D’Arrigo, Yufei Gao, Jan Zuiderveld, Bart Brinkman, Noémie Tshisumpa, Sankrit Kulmanochawong and Hsin Min Chan.
