The Amsterdam-based collective Young Blood Initiative gathers 20 international artists and speakers in its Decoding Sensations Art exhibition to explore the Fantasia of Reality. Young Blood aims to promote collaboration to explore new ways to create. They host a showcase of visual arts and live performances to explore the nature of reality: how we perceive, construct, alter and create the world around us.

Creative experimentations through collaboration

Young Blood is a platform where artists can experiment with their creativity beyond the borders of inspiration and go outside of their usual practice. Also based in London, it’s a collective of 50 artists coming from 18 countries. They worked together on how we perceive and interpret the world, to understand how we gather information from sensorial stimulus around us to be interpreted according to the capacities of our brain.

We need to play, explore, and experiment to grow further and higher.

Having such a strong collective also allows for collaborations between these art explorers through contemporary perspectives or thematic experimentations. ‘Play’ is the keyword of the organization. “Preserving the playful and curious spirit like a child is crucial for our development as creatives. We need to play, explore, and experiment to grow further and higher,” said founder Candy Choi. They believe in collaboration as a way to explore more possibilities, allowing the fusion of different forms of art.
