On May 13, the official opening of Wish Me Well will take place at NDSM, a moment you don't want to miss. A seven-metre-high monument by artist Lara Schnitger rises near the ferry. The sculpture depicts a warrior who embraces and defends feminist values, and is a powerful beacon for emancipation in the public space. Everyone is welcome to celebrate this moment with us.
From 14 May, Wish Me Well will be on view at the NDSM-werf. This temporary, seven-metre-high monument by artist Lara Schnitger rises at a prominent location by the ferry landing. The sculpture depicts a figure who embraces and defends feminist values, serving as a powerful beacon for emancipation in the public space. The official opening will take place on 13 May.
With Wish Me Well, Stichting NDSM-werf continues its tradition of site-specific artworks. The work poses a timely question to visitors:At its centre is the question: Which values must we continue to protect today in the public domain? The interactive sculpture partly consists of hand-stitched sandbags which, in this case, do not protect against water but defend feminist interests. The sculpture contains openings with flags and slogans, developed together with feminist organisations, including COC Amsterdam, Neighborhood Feminists, Our Bodies Our Voice, Pleasure Society, S.P.E.A.K., Samen naar de Kliniek, Stem Op Een Vrouw, Vrouw aan het IJ, WOMEN Inc. & Women on Food. Visitors can throw coins into the openings as in a wishing well to support a value; the proceeds will benefit the participating organisations.
