4-month Artist in residency.
The new West of Amsterdam is a predominantly Turkish, Moroccan and Old Dutch area. I was invited by The Beach to create an exhibition that brings these communities together. How we can do better in breaking barriers and building bridges within our communities, the struggle of language barriers and accepting our differences.
To go alongside several interviews I organised a cultural gathering, inviting people from all backgrounds, cultures, and religions to get to know each other with the help of design, music, and food. The night included a 25ft foot handshake, a scarecrow with friendly projected faces, an eavesdropping poet and several cups & string devices

Klabu presents Kalobeyei Spirit - Book design
A 30-page book telling the story of Klabu foundation and insights
from the people in the Kalobeyei Settlement, northern Kenya.
Copy by both Ane Santiago Quintas and Tommaso Genovesi
Run of 2000 copies.
Tape alphabet - a customized typeface.
Many of the people in Kalobeyei wrap tape around their feet and socks to play football when there is no access to football boots
Instagram post design
A playful manipulation of high and low-resolution images.
Instagram grid design
A curated account, full of energy and colour that would act as a stylized storytelling base for the launch of the campaign. I created over 100 social assets for Instagram and Instagram stories.
Customized titles for the Klabu brand film.
Still using the Futura font from the Klabu logo, but giving it a slight quirkiness and excitement that complimented the energy of the people and the footage from Kalobeyei.

WeTransfer x KLABU - Art direction
Before the launch, I got the chance to work closely with the creative team at WeTransfer who wanted to bring my book to life in an interactive landing page. It was shared to 5million screens worldwide and boosted the Klabu sales enormously in the opening month.

Process
Each element throughout the campaign was done by hand, scanning and manipulating each image individually.

Here is the spraypainted wall and hand-cut Klabu logo behind the desk.
