Kadir van Lohuizen is an internationally acclaimed photographer and filmmaker kn own for his keen eye and ability to capture major social issues in a compe lling way. His work focuses, among other things, on the consequences of ri sing sea levels, the global food industry, and, this time, the global ener gy transition. Is this truly a transition, and how does it work in practic e? Who benefits from it, and who suffers?

Of course, resources and p rofits are once again distributed unevenly, especially when it comes to ex tracting the raw materials needed to build wind turbines and other forms o f green energy. Kadir investigated this as a filmmaker and photographer, g aining access to places where no one else is allowed to go. Through the co mbination of the large artwork on the exterior wall and the video inside, you can see what he has been through, what his perspective on the energy t ransition is, and whether he has hope for the future of Amsterdam Noord.

Warming Up Festival

This year, Warming Up Fe stival is not asking how you can live more sustainably. It is asking why s o many people, especially young people, have tuned out of a conversation t hat may affect them more than anyone.

Not out of indifference, but b ecause of mental exhaustion. Because of climate anxiety and guilt. Because of a system that places the emphasis on individual responsibility, while the biggest polluters and fossil fuel subsidies largely remain out of the spotlight. And sometimes also because a climate movement that seems to dem and perfection rather than participation.

You can’t save the world a lone. Fortunately, you don’t have to. Warming Up Festival therefore takes a different approach: solidarity instead of penance.

For three days, the festival brings together art, journalism, music and conversation arou nd the question of how individual choices relate to systems that are large ly beyond our control, and where we can actually make a difference as a co llective. It is a festival that makes room for imperfection, for doubt and for new forms of engagement.

NEW ENERGY Consists of a 30-meter-lo ng artwork on the exterior wall of the Tolhuistuin garden and a video on d isplay on the ground floor of Tolhuistuin, next to the stairs leading to t he restaurant.

The wall is always accessible, and this artwork will be on view from November 5, 2026, through February 2027.
The video can be viewed during Tolhuistuin’s opening hours (daily from 11:00 a.m. to mid night) starting November 19, 2026; the end date is unknown.

The desi gn for this work was created by LMNOP, a multidisciplinary visual communic ation design studio.
The video was produced by Jesper Bauer (camera, li ghting, sound, editing), and the content editing was done by LMNOP and Eva Verboon.

Together, these two components form the artwork NEW ENERGY , commissioned by Tolhuistuin for the Warming Up Festival.

Kadir van Lohuizen is an internationally acclaimed photographer and filmmaker known for his keen eye and ability to capture major social issues in a compelli ng way.
