With 2025 marking the 20th anniversary of the collective, Rainbow Soulclub is returning to W139, where they first exhibited in 2007, to celebrate and situate this moment in time. This exhibition brings together works that have been created over years of collaboration, while simultaneously making visible that which forms between the making of work, together, over so long: a family that started as strangers.

Rainbow Soulclub is an art and solidarity collective founded in 2005 by visual artists Saskia Janssen and George Korsmit. Composed of makers and thinkers coming from different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds, they meet regularly at the collective studio in the drop-in centre of Stichting De Regenboog Groep, an organisation in Amsterdam dedicated to people experiencing homelessness, addiction, poverty, and the challenges that come with undocumented status.

Working from an ever-expanding and ever-changing organic model, without agendas, hierarchies and expectations, the Rainbow Soulclub puts at its centre the idea that every human being has the capacity for expression, even in complex and often self-diminishing circumstances.

This exhibition is generously supported by Amsterdam Fund for the Arts and Mondriaan Fund.
