Opening: Wish Me Well 13 May

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.

The sculpture features openings containing flags and slogans, developed in collaboration 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., and Women on Food. Visitors can, as with a wishing well, throw coins into the openings to support a value they find important; the proceeds go to the participating organisations.

The official opening will take place on 13 May; everyone is welcome. Please register via the button below.
