This category, awarded twice before, celebrates transformative cultural leadership rooted in the city’s communities and creative futures in Rotterdam. This year “010” was added to the title to give emphasis to the focus in the Zuid-Holland capital.
The Niteshop, founded by designer and Hip Hop futurist Malique Mohamud, received the Visionary 010 Award for redefining how migrant culture shapes Rotterdam’s future. As a hybrid design and research platform, it turns lived experience and street-level knowledge into tools for city-making through its Schiedamseweg space, community programs, and sharp online presence that makes complex issues accessible.
The jury praised The Niteshop’s belief that culture emerges from the neighborhood outward, empowering young and marginalized communities to define the city. Rejecting tokenism, the collective centers migrant culture within Dutch identity, fostering a space where creativity and community meet without hierarchy. Their “street-slang pedagogies” and Cultural Currency Conference reflect a bold commitment to imagining a postcolonial, super-diverse Rotterdam.
