Foam Lab Presents Coup

June 8 Foam Lab presents its first event called Coup. During Coup, Foam Lab takes over the last 24 hours of the exhibition Antiphotojournalism at photography museum Foam. There is a diverse line-up with guest speakers, music, a workshop and much more. The exhibition analyses the change in photojournalism today. The days that photojournalism could only be done by professionals are long gone; every citizen with a Smartphone and Internet connection can contribute to journalism.

Coup is about changing your view on Antiphotojournalism. The day starts off with a breakfast at 8 am joined by Hans Aarsman with a reading of the newspaper and interventions by street artist Sander Polderman, artist Joost Stokhof and film director Rogier Klomp amongst others. You can chat with photojournalists Arie Kievit and Dirk-Jan Visser or writer Sanne Rispens, make newspaper collages and a lot more. In the evening there are drinks and musical performances by Future Vintage and HOMEWORK.

Foam Lab is an initiative of Foam where a group of eight ambitious youngsters enlarge their competence in business and creativity. Aspiring a career in the creative industry, they develop different projects and events, in and outside the museum territory, about photography for other youngsters. More information and updates about the programme of Coup will follow on Foam Lab.
