Curatorial context
We OK! is an art project that empowers young people in the Breda neighborhoods of Heuvel, Haagse Beemden, and Hoge Vucht to create art.

The project emphasizes the personal development and community contribution of these young participants, many of whom are new to the art world.
The exhibition 'We OK!' itself is inspired by a painting by David Bade and aims to reframe discussions around social engagement with a hopeful, unifying message, symbolized in part by the Caribbean dish 'Stoba,' representing cultural fusion and the breaking down of prejudices. This initiative, a collaboration with David Bade, Grote Broer Grote Zus, and Stichting KOP, highlights that 'everyone matters – we are okay.' The resulting colorful and challenging artworks, alongside pieces by David Bade, will be exhibited at Stedelijk Museum Breda.
