Not Normal
Everything happens in the studio of Anna Requena and Padmini Peng as long as it is Not Normal. There is a boutique with second-hand clothes that have been upcycled by Padmini (you're welcome to come and have a look!).
Since its foundation, Het Groene Veld has not only realised a restaurant, a garden and a concert hall, but also various workspaces. These have been taken into use by a colorful collection of artists, organizations and small self-employed people in the creative sector.
See who works at Het Groene Veld and what they are doing. This page contains the first 17 and in the coming period we will continue to supplement this series with new faces.
