On 7 January Het Nieuwe Instituut kicked off the new year's season of Thursday Nights with a talk show in which architect Mathis J. Bout, fashion designer and photographer Florine van Rees and designer Gert Franke shared with the public the things that fascinate and inspire them, and perhaps the things that irritate them too. With music selected by Radna Rumping.
Which new developments are they following in their professional fields? Which cultural events (exhibitions, lectures, concerts) will they be attending in the near future? Which young talents are they keeping an eye on? The answers to these and other questions will ensure that everyone is completely up to date. The evening will be moderated by Léon van Geest and Flora van Gaalen. Cultural programmer and radio producer Radna Rumping will provide a sample of the latest developments in the music scene. You can listen to her playlist for Het Nieuwe Instituut
