THE CHILDREN'S JURY SPEAKS

At Amsterdam Light Festival, we believe that art is not just for children, but should also be viewed and judged by them. That's why we have something super fun: a children's jury! For the educational artist of the upcoming festival edition, we have asked a group of curious, honest and delightfully opinionated young jury members to help decide who the new educational artist will be. Because who knows better what moves children than... children themselves? Together, they will look at the proposals of three different educational artists, ask smart questions and choose the artist who sheds the most light on wonder, creativity and fantasy. In this way, we make room for young voices - and who knows, we might even discover a few future curators! Curious who the children have chosen as their favorite for the upcoming edition? To be continued!

PARTNERSHIP WITH QUANTUM DELTA NL

Quantum What?! Yes, Quantum Delta! This year, Amsterdam Light Festival has a new collaboration with Quantum Delta NL.

Have you ever seen a light blinking and wondered if it was in two places at once? Or if the light knew something, even before you saw it? Sounds like magic, but it's… quantum physics! And that's exactly what we're going to talk about this year with Amsterdam's youngest thinkers. We're super proud to announce that the education department of Amsterdam Light Festival has entered into a sparkling new partnership with Quantum Delta NL – the organization that knows everything about the mysterious world of the very smallest. Because if you zoom in really deep on light, you end up in a fascinating world: the world of quantum. Quantum Delta NL is like a superhero team of researchers, companies and universities working together on technology that will change our future. But what is quantum physics? And can we use our imagination to create light art about it? Yes! Together with Quantum Delta NL we bring art and science together in something tangible, fun and a little bit magical. Because light is not only beautiful – it is full of secrets. And we are going to discover them together.

LOOKING BACK

What an edition! The lights of Edition 13 are now off, but luckily we still have the images and you can relive everything one more time... and maybe even discover something new! Watch the aftermovie below of the Edition 13 educational project in which children learned about attention and created the artwork Mind Bridges. We are very proud. Of all the makers, dreamers and daredevils. To all schools, children, partners and everyone who contributed: thank you very much!
