Agenda
On the hunt for public tech
For a lot of us Instagram, WhatsApp and Google have become part of our everyday lives. That's why during Waag Open on 1 October, we’re on the hunt for the better alternatives.
Expo: NeuroNarratives
From 2 until 4 October Waag proudly host the exhibition of the NeuroNarratives art-science residencies. Five pairs of artists and scientists worked together to translate socially urgent neuroscientific findings into experiential, mixed-media artworks.
National Design Debate 2026: Shaping Europe
Open Socials Social Club
During DDW 2026, Waag is organising a very social party – both online and offline. We’re celebrating the soft launch of oso.social, a platform that gives everyone access to open social media.
The nature of our monetary system
In this edition of Good Money, we return to what money should be at its core: the public technology for organising labour and production. How can we create a better world, in which money does not first have to be ‘made’ through polluting and extractive activities?
Cleaning without contaminating
On Thursday 5 November, join Waag Open to explore how cleaning products affect our water and make your own alternatives using plants, herbs and ingredients from your kitchen.
Museum Night 2026
Waag is part of the Amsterdam Museum Night. Join us for various workshops, performances and a visit to the exhibition Fluid Futures.
Expo: Fluid Futures
From micro-organisms and seaweed cultivation to wastewater treatment and ecological restoration: water connects life forms, technologies, infrastructures and communities. In Fluid Futures, artists explore these complex relationships and explore how people, technology and aquatic ecosystems can flourish together.
Water quality from space
During this Waag Open on 3 December, you’ll discover how satellite data helps us measure water quality, and why human observations remain essential.
