Bureau Europa

New Fashion Narratives takes place at Bureau Europa and presents an exhibition curated by Jamal Nxedlana, Karmen Samson, Welmoed Bosch and Agatha Prieto Jeanty. Under the title ‘Fleshy, slimy, wobbly’, the exhibition brings together fashion practices that resist easy categorisation and move between forms, materials and disciplines.
The curatorial concept is developed during a Residency Week in April 2026, where the four fashion practitioners explore ways to challenge dominant systems within the fashion industry and create space for shapeshifting practices that escape fixed labels. The exhibition looks at fashion from a more fluid and unruly perspective, bringing together work that leaks, mutates and refuses to stay within familiar boundaries.
At Bureau Europa, visitors encounter a collection of practices that question what fashion can be, where it belongs and how it can take shape. New Fashion Narratives offers a tangible and unconventional exploration of fashion that is difficult to pin down — and all the more fascinating because of it.

What happens when Maastricht’s history gets a new outfit?
For ‘Sterren van de stad’ (Stars of the City), local heroes from Maastricht were paired with local designers, who translated their stories, character and significance into contemporary designs. From historical figures and artists to inventors and local icons. These are not historical reconstructions, but personal interpretations that show how fashion can offer a new way of looking at a city and its history.
This project was part of Maastrichtjaar 2026

During FASHIONCLASH Festival, the gallery opens its space to the distinctive world of Amsterdam-based fashion studio Teigetje&Woelrat.
With a practice spanning more than 50 years, Teigetje&Woelrat moves between tradition and experimentation. Knitwear lies at the heart of their work, combined with leather, bold colours, geometric patterns and expressive shapes. Working from thread to finished garment, the studio creates every piece themselves, with craftsmanship and hands-on making at the core.
For FASHIONCLASH, Teigetje&Woelrat Collection explores the space between contemporary fashion and the playful, extravagant spirit of carnival. A colourful and tactile collection where knitwear, leather and bold gestures come together.

Townhouse Hotel
-
At Townhouse Hotel, FASHIONCLASH presents the work of Dutch fashion designer Ruben Jurriën. His practice explores fashion as a space for play, freedom and connection, inspired by the perspective and imagination of the inner child.
His work also challenges conventional ideas of sizing. Ruben develops size adjustable garments, designing fashion that adapts to different bodies rather than asking bodies to adapt to fixed sizes.
His exhibition, Maak Nederland weer Gezellig!, reimagines traditional Dutch dress through a contemporary and playful lens. It celebrates gezelligheid as an act of kindness, empathy and connection, imagining a world where it belongs to everyone.
On Saturday 14 November, 15:00–16:00, Ruben will talk about his work, his approach to fashion and the ideas behind his innovative approach to sizing.

A festive parade starting at 14.00 at Centre Céramique, in memory of Pedro Antonio Cano. Our Lady of Holy Death, incarnated in La Monroy, invites everyone to join a colossal procession through Maastricht in memory of Pedro Antonio Cano, an Indigenous man from Nueva Granada, present day Colombia, who was taken to the Spanish Crown in 1792 as living “proof” of giants in the Americas. More than two centuries later, his mortal remains still on exhibition at the Museo de Anatomía Javier Puerta, Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
The route is leading through Maastricht and ends at The Social Hub Hotel, Pedro returns as a colossal ancestral to be known and homage, not displayed. The procession celebrates his life and gathers signatures demanding the repatriation of his remains to Colombia.
