This is a chance to bring together friends, artists, and curious minds to help keep VROOM afloat. We’re moving forward strong and steady, but sometimes we need extra support to turn all the messy, brilliant ideas into reality. 

Come hang out, show some love, and help fuel what comes next.

Workshop 15:00-17:00
(kids are also welcome)

Unleash your imagination in this fun and interactive art workshop where you'll fuse two unexpected elements into one unique creature! Each participant will draw one prompt from the Creature Pot and one from the Object Pot. Using these as inspiration, you'll sketch your hybrid creation on paper—blending the traits of both into a single, original being.

Once your creature takes shape, you'll cut it out and place it on an A4 background (provided by us) to help build its world and deepen its story.

Radio Rotonde by Joram de Cocker 16:00-19:00

Radio Rotonde: an open invitation to an imaginary roadtrip. Through a series of questions, visitors are invited to speak about the landscapes of their childhood or the crossroads of their dreams.

As they pave the way, a postcard is drawn—capturing the encounters described along the road and becoming a keepsake of the journey.

Scattered across this imagined route billboards and posters arise, each marked with the initials of those who shape their story— lovers, friends or family.



VROOM DJs 17:00-18:30

VROOM DJs
From rare-new-wave-ambiance to post-alternative-hyperpop; VROOM DJs bring a delightfully tacky and classically avant-garde sound composition of the favorite songs of some of your favorite comic artists. Are you interested in knowing the most beloved melodies of comic makers played while drawing, zoning out, sharpening pencils, or searching for inspiration?



Comic Readings 18:30-21:30

18:30 Fynn van der Ziel
Fynn van der Ziel (1996) shuffles between risoprinted books, music, and football. He will be reading from different books, among which VIS (FISH) was awarded the Small Press Award 2024 at Stripdagen Haarlem. His latest work is about artistry, badminton, brotherhood, chicken, diligence, effortlessness, menace, percussion, pussycats, religion, and unity.

19:00 Mik Schelstraete
Mieke ‘Mik’ Schelstraete (°2001) is a graphic artist, writer, musician at Hartworm and publisher at Zwarte Pagina. Their artistic practice focuses primarily on the reproduction of (film) images and the creation and publication of self-published books.

Their written work has previously appeared on the film critic website Fantômas and in De Revisor. In 2024, Schelstraete took part in the Paris residency of DeBuren.

19:30 Wout Vermijs
Wout Vermijs is a Brussels-based visual artist and musician. After completing his studies in Architectural Engineering in Ghent, he went to LUCA School of Arts in Brussels to reconnect with his love for drawing and writing, resulting in a graphic novel as his graduation project.

20:00 Wide Vercnocke​​
Wide Vercnocke (b. 1985) describes himself as a ‘writer and illustrator of tear-jerkers’. In his graphic novels, he combines a fascinating drawing style with often abstract but poetic stories, in which physicality plays an important role. Language and image are given equal weight, and Vercnocke plays deftly with both. He is building an oeuvre that is impressively unique and unconventional.



DJS 21:30-23:00

Geezers need excitement
Genre-bending friends looting your local media store as power cuts and torrential rains plunge the city in near-total darkness. The sound of feet on broken glass, cassettes being slid into a stolen boombox. A number of mood shifts ensue: incendiary, euphoric, lysergic and, finally, a state of total, unencumbered bliss. Flocks of birds swoop and swirl in the morning sky...

See you Saturday 21/6 !!!
