Valtifest : All in the Family

Amsterdam’s happiest, hippest and most colorful festival has a inspiring ‘gezellig’ theme,
cosy yet campy, awkward yet familiar, right from the bosom of the family!
Wink is responsible for irresponsible atmosphere and entourage,
with the ‘RAUW’ mainstage looking like a giant tv set, the disco tent like a laundromat, and the ‘666′ area like a crematorium…
Good times!

OXFAM ‘WE EAT AFRICA’

Now, more then ever, the aid and development business needs some full frontal visibility, in order to point out the wrongs of this sometimes sick society.
Wink is responsible for giving a voice to the Dutch branch of the OXFAM organization & getting their message across to the young and the restless roaming the Dutch festivals.
This season focusing on the land grabbing phenomena, something that could be seen as the new colonialism - the abuse of third world countries in order to feed the first world’s needs, which literary forces us to ‘EAT AFRICA’ … & we’re not standing for it. In response we designed, created and built both a recycled village & a cool hang out to help support & create awareness for this priority cause.
