EMPOWER

The NDSM-werf Foundation, in collaboration with DGTL, has an artist SEEYOUSIOE enabled to create a stunning piece of art on the iconic container arch for the annual DGTL festival at NDSM. Sioe Jeng Tsao, also known as SEEYOUSIOE, is a multi-faceted queer artist of Chinese descent. Born in Amsterdam and based in Rotterdam, this artist is known for vibrant paintings and digital illustrations filled with joy and energy.

Their artworks explore various social themes, including LGBTQIA+ rights, mental health, feminism, sustainability, racial justice and gender equality. On the container arch, Sioe Jeng Tsao created the work: EMPOWER. This artwork calls for reflection, encouragement, and celebration of love, and reminds us that we are stronger when we work together. The arch serves as a symbolic gateway to a space of strength, acceptance, and solidarity within the LGBTQIA+ community, where individuals from diverse backgrounds support and uplift each other. The artwork promotes unity and collaboration as essential tools for advancing our shared journey to social change and inclusion.
