welcome to sickhouse !

The atomic playground of Enschede! 💜🌊🎮✨

Sickhouse is a playful art space focused on the impact of digital & popular culture on our society.

We host our program within our exhibition space, cinema (Cinema Obscura), VR areas, a co-workspace and our open living room office, the bar and a terrace with a view on the Stationsplein. At the moment from our own recording studio we stream games, performances and talks to your living room.

Theme 2021

Collective Masquerade

Welcome to the celebration of fluid collectives, where you don’t have to be defined by your gender, your preferences or your background. Bring them on, we don’t want to hide or to ignore them neither. Let’s confront ourselves with each other’s heritage and re learn how to care, looking for our common grounds. The Overkill “Collective Masquerade” invites artists, curators, game developers and creative minds to explore how we can redefine ourselves as individuals, species, society, and connected beings.
