Camera Japan

Friday Night LIVE

Every third Friday of the month, you're welcome at the Kunsthal for an exciting and inspiring programme infused with a generous dose of art. All exhibitions are open until 22:00 hrs and each edition is curated by a different Rotterdam-based partner. On Friday 17 October, film festival Camera Japan will be pulling the strings. The exhibition CUTE serves as the source of inspiration for this vibrant evening.

Book your Friday Night LIVE ticket here

Camera Japan is a cultural festival organised in Rotterdam every year since 2006. The main focus is on Japanese film, but they also explore the visual arts, music, dance, fashion, architecture, food, and much more. Every autumn, the festival screens the best, the weirdest, and the most unexpected cinema from Japan.

Bites and drinks

During Friday Night LIVE, the tastiest bites are back on the menu. And are you coming to the Kunsthal with your Friday Night LIVE ticket between 17:00 and 19:00 hrs? Then a complimentary welcome drink (wine, beer, or soda) will be waiting for you!

About the exhibition CUTE

Why do we swoon over baby faces, stay glued to screens showing fluffy kitten videos, and collectively communicate through emojis? Discover the seductive and sometimes confusing universe of CUTE, 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. Dance to sugary beats in the Hello Kitty disco, transform into an anime character in the installation Glimmer, or dress up tiny digital monsters in the game arcade. From Japanese kawaii to funny memes and futuristic design: CUTE immerses you in an ultra-cute experience.
