On Friday, July 4, the festive opening of the exhibition CUTE takes place – and you’re invited! Get your ticket for the CUTE Summer Party and immerse yourself in the irresistible and confusing world of cuteness from 17:00 until 20:00 hrs.

Why do we swoon over baby faces, stay glued to screens showing fluffy kitten videos, and collectively communicate through emojis? This summer, discover the seductive and sometimes confusing universe of CUTE at Kunsthal Rotterdam, an exhibition that shows how cuteness has both conquered and deregulated our world. In this time of fast online stimuli, being cute is not just attractive, but also a powerful tool to manipulate, comfort, or provoke. From Japanese kawaii to funny memes and futuristic design: CUTE immerses you in an ultra-cute experience.
