Steven Dahlberg: ‘Kleidoti Tori’
⁠
Our YOMU rental space, run by Zergei Samson, is a space to make your own, within an inspiring cultural environment. Coming Saturday Steven Dahlberg () is showing his solo-exhibition ‘Kleidoti Tori’. ⁠
⁠
The exhibition explores the hidden language and forms of traditional Agnisa headscarves: folded pieces of heritage, part of the koto misi, which were worn during the era of slavery as silent forms of communication. ⁠
⁠
As a fashion stylist of Surinamese descent, Steven has always been affected by the power, elegance, and symbolism of the koto misi. Now, as an artist, he translates his cultural roots into sculptures in which history, texture and ceramic forms come together.⁠

Opening: ‘Masters in Procrastination and Ma********on’

Join us for the opening of Masters in Procrastination and Ma********on, the first solo exhibition by Surinamese artist Zergei Samson (.samson) known as Zed. Samson, on Friday 3 July 2026 at OSCAM.⁠
⁠
In this deeply personal body of work, Samson explores sexuality, self-acceptance, and mental health. Through a new series of paintings, he reflects on experiences of insecurity, depression, and loneliness, as well as the gradual process of growth and learning to accept oneself.⁠
⁠
The exhibition offers an intimate insight into his inner world, where emotions and lived experiences are translated directly onto the canvas. It touches on themes of q***r sexuality, self-acceptance, and the complex emotions involved in understanding and embracing one’s identity.⁠
⁠
Alongside his artistic practice, Samson is active at OSCAM as the driving force behind YOMU (Young OSCAM Meet Up Space). With this exhibition, OSCAM creates space not only for emerging artistic voices, but also for the creative talents within its own team. Masters in Procrastination and Ma********on therefore marks a moment in which Samson’s role as both artist and maker takes centre stage.⁠
