Description

The fourteenth edition is dedicated to Legacy. We ask artists the question: How will we be remembered? Or, perhaps more importantly: How do we want to be remembered? Every generation faces different challenges. Some are passed down to us by our ancestors, others we create ourselves. We inherit the world in the state we find it, but we will be remembered for what we leave behind.

After Amsterdam celebrated its 750th anniversary by looking back, it is now time to look forward, and beyond that: to the future generations of Amsterdam and across the globe.

Artists from all over the world are invited to use light as a medium to reflect on what we preserve and what we leave behind. Whether it is a skeletal pavilion, festive light arches, digital projections or refined hand-drawn designs, each artwork is interwoven with personal stories that together capture the spirit of our time.

Along the route, you'll descover that legacy is not always tangible. The temporary installations disappear, but live on as memories. Together, they form a living archive of ideas, feelings, and values. They show that legacy is not only what we leave behind, but also something we are constantly shaping.
