In the past period, opportunities have been sought for the Foundation to operate internationally as well. As a result, the Niet Normaal Foundation will from now on continue as the Niet Normaal INT Foundation, with a new form of governance that is more in line with the new ambitions. According to the articles of association, Niet Normaal INT monitors the heritage of former Niet Normaal Foundation and intends to continue activities in the same spirit—with inclusion and accessibility as core values. Goal of the Niet Normaal INT Foundation: concept and development of experience-based exhibitions at the interface of art, design and technology, with the ambition to initiate social discussions, mix audience groups, and to contribute to a liveable world.
