Students organize Frictions Festival #8 at SCHUNCK

On Thursday 30 January the Glaspaleis in Heerlen will turn into a creative ‘chaos’ during Frictions Festival #8.

For this special edition, students from the Kunst, Theater en Media (KTM) department at VISTA College have been given the opportunity to organize an entirely unique festival evening. Visitors can also enjoy the Andy Warhol: Vanitas exhibition in the museum.

Inspired by the exhibition, students from various programs bring their talents together for an evening filled with art, music, and performance. Musicians, actors, videographers, photographers, and event producers collaborate on a diverse program featuring theatrical performances, musical showcases, and visual productions.

Driver’s Seat, SCHUNCK’s youth group, will provide special guided tours of the Andy Warhol: Vanitas exhibition throughout the evening. As always, Frictions revolves around creativity, inspiration, and collaboration. It’s a unique opportunity for young creators and an inspiring experience for visitors alike.
