Do you want to help create a more positive and inspiring world?

Bring your own piece of clothing and decorate it with a patch of your choice in vibrant, inspiring colours. Add beads, sequins, and other materials to make it truly your own.

The patches feature imagery related to joy, love, or social issues such as racism, allowing you to express a positive message to the world through your clothes.

You will go home with your own customized and decorated garment.

Bas Kosters works as an artist and designer with passion and compassion at the heart of everything he does. Through social engagement, he creates imaginative worlds filled with exuberant, provocative, and tender characters. Determination and enthusiasm are key traits that define his diverse body of work. With a deep love for textiles and paper, he celebrates and communicates personal and societal issues he finds important. Using recycled fabrics, he playfully transforms materials into new artworks and garments that are unmistakably his.

Surrounded by humour and bold messages, his work expresses emotions that might otherwise be hard to face. His fascination with characters, identity, and even eroticism results in a sometimes raw and layered reality where multiple perspectives vie for attention. His storytelling unfolds through tapestries, dolls, sets, glass objects, drawings, paintings, and ceramics.
