Question 1 of 5
I fancy an art festival, is there one?
We hold the street art festival ALL CAPS from 4 to 11 September in the Feijenoord district of Rotterdam-Zuid. Call it an open-air museum. The name ALL CAPS is a nod to the ‘caps’, the nozzles on the spray cans in the graffiti world, but it also refers to typography, so only CAPITAL LETTERS. It’s also an ode to the late hip-hop icon MF DOOM who always wrote his name in CAPITALS.
ALL CAPS features national and international artists who will each create a mural. And I will be there too, in front of an empty wall that needs to be filled. At a good spot, near the Albeda entrance at Station Zuid.
By the way, ALL CAPS used to be called POW! WOW! but changed its name because it referred to traditional gatherings of Native Americans who considered it offensive.
