14.00–18.00 — Sonsbeek 2026 Spiraling Out (closing celebration)
Location: City Hall, Arnhem
Join us for the closing celebration of Sonsbeek 2026! We open with a performance of Nargis-e mastana by experimental sound duo buulbuul, who draw on Central Asian artistic and scientific histories in response to Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven's Mystic Hexagram.
Following the performance, Mayor Ahmed Marcouch and alderwoman for culture Mounia Arkhouch will be handed the first of 5,000 flowerpots from Van Kerckhoven's Mystic Hexagram flower carpet. Visitors are then invited to take home a piece of the artwork themselves — while supplies last.
