Hi, I’m Julian and I find immense peace in the beauty of nature. Observing the natural world up close allows my mind to unwind and relax.

However, my tranquility is often disrupted by the sight of litter—plastic bottles, Red Bull cans and cigarette packs strewn about. This waste detracts from the serene experience I cherish.

From a young age I was fascinated by the garden’s tiny creatures and blooming plants. A curiosity that sparked my love for biology and ultimately led me to become a biology teacher.

Since 2022 my focus has expanded to environmental issues, particularly after witnessing a disturbing amount of waste on a beach in Thailand, including single-use bottles, food wrappers, masks and more.

Feeling a strong urge to address this problem, I recognized that single-use plastic bottles are a major culprit. My solution? A revolutionary, sustainable and reusable water bottle designed to fit seamlessly into any bag without causing discomfort.

Traditional water bottles often don’t accommodate our busy lives, so I set out to create a sleek, flat design that makes organizing and carrying your essentials easier.

Join me in taking responsibility for our environment by embracing innovative solutions that help reduce waste and protect our natural world.

Ade Itameda

Creative / Cultural

Meet Ade Itameda, a talented tattoo artist from Bali whose journey into tattooing began out of curiosity and quickly turned into a passionate career. Ade fell in love with the drawing style, equipment, rituals and the entire process of tattooing, along with the deep connections formed with clients.

Initially Ade envisioned unique tattoo designs that no one else could deliver perfectly, so he began creating his own designs - a practice he continues to this day. Tattooing has been a transformative force in his life helping him gain self-confidence and avoid trouble.

Ade's fascination with tattooing started early; he did his first tattoo at the age of 12 or 13 using equipment he secretly borrowed from a local fried banana vendor. Although there were no proper mentors or training facilities available to him at the time, his passion never waned.

In 2000 Ade got his first tattoo with a professional machine at his first visit to a tattoo shop. There he learned the basics from soldering needles to drawing simple objects like apples. His dedication to the craft grew more serious when he moved to Europe around 2009-2010.

Ade draws inspiration from various sources including temples, traditional activities, historical places and any environment where he feels relaxed and comfortable. This eclectic mix of influences informs his unique tattoo style.

Over the years Ade has tattooed numerous people, but one of his most memorable experiences was traveling across countries to tattoo former footballer Nigel de Jong, working in various settings from shops to mansions.

For the best tattoo results Ade emphasizes the importance of input and background stories from his clients. Face-to-face consultations are crucial as the body shape and muscle structure significantly influence his designs.

Discover the artistry and passion of Ade Itameda, a tattoo artist who brings Bali's rich cultural heritage and his personal journey to life through every piece he creates.

My perfectionist traits made me hesitant to perform in front of people in the beginning of my musical journey, but I learned to embrace the raw and uncut energy of live performance; proof that passion trumps perfection.

Music runs in my blood. I’m proud to be the son of Johnny Laporte, a renowned blues guitarist who has shaped the Dutch blues scene for over 50 years. Touring with him across the Netherlands, I’ve had the privilege of playing drums, piano and guitar om stage in the Dutch Blues scene.

As a Boogie Woogie & Blues pianist I go by the name Juul's Boogie Academy and you can find me on YouTube, Tiktok and Instagram.

Bahaya

Uncover the narrative behind BAHAYA [ba-ha-ja], a unique tribute to Moluccan culture and history. Bahaya isn't just a word; it's a powerful exclamation in Moluccan tradition, expressing enthusiasm and admiration, akin to 'awesome' or 'cool.'

The name itself literally translates to 'danger(ous).' Faris, the creative mind behind Bahaya, is based in Rotterdam, raised in Tilburg as a third-generation Moluccan with a Moluccan mother and Dutch father. In addition to his work as a freelance illustrator under the name Refreshh, he is the visionary behind BAHAYA.

In 2009, during his final year at the Communication & Multimedia Design program in Breda, Faris' interest in his Moluccan roots awakened. This passion led to the launch of 'Bahaya clothing,' featuring a sold-out series of T-shirts characterized by abstract, impressive Maluku-style typography.

After numerous projects, Bahaya entered a new era with a completely revamped style. A fresh logo and a new concept came to life after in-depth research, sketching, and digitalization. For two years, Faris delved into archives, read books, engaged in conversations, and consulted experts.

The culmination of this process is the "Van kust tot kade" poster series, paying tribute to the arrival and sacrifices of Moluccan families in the Netherlands in 1951.

Visit the BAHAYA webshop or follow on Instagram. Immerse yourself in the development process and stories. Discover the end results and contribute to keeping alive the memories of where Moluccans come from. Dive into the depth of Moluccan history and contribute to preserving this cultural heritage."

Anak Bungsu Workshops

I am the youngest daughter of Maud Mouthaan, an Indonesian woman born in Semarang, Central Java, and my Chinese father Tan Tjhoen Hok, born in Surabaya, East Java. I have two older sisters.

Our mother learned to cook before the family moved to the Netherlands in 1964. My father naturally accompanied her to the Netherlands but asked her to learn cooking first. Bread and potatoes, he didn't fancy that. And the Indonesian cook who cooked so deliciously and took care of the family couldn't come along, of course.

So our mother learned to cook very well. She was really very precise. How the dish looked, how it should smell, and of course, the taste. We always ate rice, with freshly prepared dishes with homemade spices without packets and jars.

When she became partially paralyzed in 1979, we had to take over the cooking. This meant going to the living room several times with the mortar, cutting board, or spoon to ask our mother if the spices were good in color, taste, and if they were finely ground enough.

Our mother then began typing out her recipes for her daughters. For us, she said, but of course also a bit out of self-interest. She wanted to be able to continue eating as well as when she could still cook herself.

As I grew older, I wanted to evoke the flavors of my childhood home with my parents more and more. So in recent years, I have been cooking more and more Indonesian and Chinese dishes with my mother's recipes.

When I was asked to write the Bible of Indonesian Cuisine, all the puzzle pieces fell into place and I could share my love for this cuisine, but also for my mother's dishes.

Welcome to Face This. We’re a charity, dressed as a streetwear brand, dropping a new collab every single month. We unleash the raw creativity of Indonesian school kids, through meaningful collaborations with the world’s most renowned artists.

And as the proceeds contribute to their schools, the kids literally design their own future.

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Picasso was immensely inspired by the way children draw. He even said: “It took me four years to paint like Rafael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” And it’s not just Picasso who felt this way about art.

Today’s artists are also inspired by how kids create. Therefore we asked ourselves: “If kids are so creative, shouldn’t the ones living in poverty be able to use their creativity as a force for good? And what if they could inspire artists around the world in the mean time?”

Since2008, we´ve been inspiring internationally renowned (street)artists by enabling them to collaborate with Indonesian school kids on tees, totes and sweaters. How? Indonesian school kids craft compelling drawings which artists use to design terrific T-shirt artworks with.

In the 15 years since we began, our charity has raised over 100,000 Euros and funded nine different educational projects across Indonesia. From building new classrooms to renovating existing ones, and from earthquake relief aid to food packages to support communities during the pandemic, the proceeds of Face This T-shirts have helped provide different kinds of support.

Enjoy!

Introducing myself as Joyce de Vries, a second-generation Indo with a unique twist that often makes me feel more like a third generation. My father hails from New Guinea, while my mother, though born in the Netherlands, also comes from an Indo background.

In 2020, upon welcoming our son into the world, I found myself pondering how to instill a sense of Indianness in him. Surprisingly, I realized my own knowledge on the subject was rather limited. Despite my outward appearance reflecting my Indo heritage, I questioned whether appearance alone was sufficient. What if my son doesn't look as Indo as I do? Can he still connect with his Indo identity? And what tools does he need for that connection?

Thus, began my quest for answers. It didn't take long to discover I wasn't alone in grappling with these questions. That realization ignited a desire within me to make it easier for our children to embrace their cultural heritage, both its joys and challenges. I started brainstorming the best way to impart this to him, eventually landing on the idea of an interactive website. And thus, the development of such a platform is currently underway.
