Felix' new year's plunge

From fireworks to fortune cookies, from 'oliebollen' to the new year’s plunge, everyone has their way of ringing in the new year. What New Year’s rituals do you practice? Which lessons do you take with you, and what do you rinse off? Which new traditions should we build, and what stories should we write? Together with our host, Kriticos, artists and the audience will collectively kick off this new beginning in Felix Meritis in Amsterdam.

Kriticos is a multidisciplinary artist of Zambian (Bemba) and Tanzanian (Chagga) descent. His first music project, his EP Bemba Chagga, tells his story as a young African growing up among 2 African cultures. Kriticos has worked in different genres of music and performed at various venues across East Africa and Belgium.

Parallel to his music career, Kriticos has led an activist career, which started when he co-organized the first ever 'Black Lives Matter' protest in Belgium in 2016. He organised a 'Breathing Session' for black people and people of colour during the George Floyd protests in 2020. During his marketing internship at Daily Paper, Kriticos debuted his concept of a Book Club for people who didn’t read the book in Amsterdam. The project is called The Book Club, and since 2022, he has hosted conversations about various books and topics across cities like Helsinki, Amsterdam, Berlin and Brussels. The Book Club has partnered up with prisons for the inmates, with corporate businesses like Netflix, Nike, and The British Council, and has become part of school curricula in Brussels.

Other artists are to be announced soon!
