Who are we, and why are we here? In seeking answers to these existential questions, cultures across the world have created and passed down their own stories of origin.These narratives speak of collective identity, moral frameworks and shared points of reference that connect people and lend meaning to traditions and values. Yet creation myths are never neutral. They can legitimise systems of power, reinforce the status quo, and silence alternative narratives. The international group exhibition Creation Myths and Other Beginnings therefore turns its attention to non-dominant creation stories: myths transmitted through oral traditions across generations, as well as speculative and fictional alternatives. What might these stories reveal about our social reality, and about the futures we might yet imagine? With work by Mounira Al Solh, Yael Bartana, Louis Braddock Clarke, Yaïr Callender, Fiona Lutjenhuis, Claudia Martínez Garay, Narges Mohammadi, Nathaniel Mellors & Erkka Nissinen, Rithika Merchant, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien, Selma Selman and Müge Yilmaz.  

From September onwards, Nest starts a trial with flexible ticket prices. With this, we want to make the programme of Nest more accessible to everyone. We will introduce three new types of tickets:

• Base ticket - €2,50

Are you curious about Nest, or do you have a smaller budget? You can visit our exhibitions for the lower price of €2,50.

• Regular ticket - €6,50

This is our recommended price for our exhibitions.

• Support Nest ticket, €10,00

With this ticket you support Nest a little more, plus you help us cover the base tickets. Do you have a bit more to spent, do you think it’s important that Nest is accessible for everyone, or do you just want to support us some more? This ticket’s for you!

If you have a Museumcard, CJP, ICOM, Ooievaarspas or are younger than 18, your visit to Nest will be free of charge.
