Tomorrow Is a Different Day at the Stedelijk Museum

The Stedelijk revamps its collection presentation -. Tomorrow Is a Different Day - Collection 1980-now - by as much as 99 new works, three-quarters of which are made by women and international young talent. With themes such as globalization, the environment, migration and the digital revolution, this update intervenes as if it were an urban intervention.

You see room for power - like Natacha Kensmil's haunting czar style or Miriam Cahn's symbolic boot. In the "In-Betweenness" room, Lydia Ourahmane tells stories of loss, identity and diaspora through a door from Algiers. And artists like Remy Jungerman and Xavier Robles de Medina tell stories of identity and memory through color and rhythm.

Important and bold, themes such as "The Black Gaze" give their own voice to underexposed stories. With work by Tschabalala Self, Paul Mpagi Sepuya and Sandra Mujinga, they claim visibility - powerful and urgent.

You also notice sustainability and criticism through design: from upcycling by Ineke Hans and Joana Schmieder to eco-materials like Bär+Knell's furniture or Belén's plant-dyed blankets. Art that asks questions in form and material.

You walk through that room and suddenly feel the urgency of the now: art that looks at you, challenges you, whispers and shouts that this world can be different. The feeling that it is not you who goes to art, but that art invites you to look back.
