‘To Dream Once More’ dance performance by Uri Eugenio
Uri Eugenio is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher based in Amsterdam. In his movement, Uri seeks to connect with audiences on a human level, creating performances that are grounded in the ‘here and now’. Every detail matters. Each gesture, breath, and pause contributes to an unique shared moment between performer and audience.
After graduating from the Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts in Tilburg, Uri has worked with renowned Dutch companies and choreographers, including Scapino Ballet, LeineRoebana, David Middendorp, and Nanine Linning. In addition to a rich international experience in stage performances, Uri appeared on several television shows, such as ‘Dancing Queen’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’.
With the solo piece ‘To Dream Once More’ Uri explores the quiet reckoning that comes with age. The moment one begins to question the path taken. But it’s not a lament. It’s a rediscovery.

Demi Vreden is a spoken word artist, poet, entrepreneur, and the founder of Faluma, a community that connects the Afro-diaspora in the Netherlands.
With a deep-rooted passion for human rights and racial justice, she dedicates herself daily to projects that promote inclusivity and empowerment. In her work, she explores topics such as the history of slavery, women’s rights, and queer inclusivity.

The Scan is an experience-based intervention developed by Critical Mass for Oxfam Novib and Partos, focusing on themes like white saviourism, unconscious bias and privilege in our work environments. Through playful yet meaningful interactive stations, participants reflect on their roles, and the dynamics within their organisations. It’s a tool that aligns beautifully with the spirit and goals of our Affinity Spaces and could help shape their future as ongoing, impactful communities.
How can we cultivate just and inclusive water governance for the future under a changing climate? The Art4Climate Justice Gallery brings the voices and visions of children and youth—often absent from decision-making tables—directly into the core of international cooperation discussions.
Hosted by Water Practice International in partnership with the Sio-Malaba-Malakisi Young Water Diplomats, CESPAD, and KEWASNET, this interactive gallery showcases artworks that envision the future of water and climate justice. The artworks—ranging from paintings and sculptures made from recycled materials to poems, photographs, stories, and songs—were created by young people from communities experiencing pressing water and climate-related challenges.
Beyond the exhibition, the collection will serve as a long-term advocacy tool to promote meaningful youth inclusion in policy and decision-making processes. The gallery draws on the concept of futuring—identifying and sharing images of the future to inspire action in the present—connecting past, present, and future in a call for climate-resilient, youth-led solutions.
