About the evening
Dive into the world of Graffiti during this edition of Centraal Laat. The exhibition shows how graffiti has evolved since the 1980s from street culture into an influential movement in contemporary art. With more than 120 works by artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Lady Pink, discover how the visual language of the city has inspired artists worldwide.
Together with Get To It and Kunstbende, we present an evening of music, art and connection. Graffiti legends meet a new generation of creators in a programme packed with live performances, film, dance and experimentation.
The evening will see the launch of a book honouring Utrecht graffiti legend Rhone. There will also be films by Get To It, art installations, a drawing competition with ambient sounds by Jen, and live performances by Raychi, BoenkBoenk and Brimtex Collective, among others. From hip-hop and grime to jazz, ambient and UK bass: different genres come together under one roof. Maximalist, energetic and interdisciplinary, an evening where different art forms, scenes and generations meet.

Programme
BRINTEX COLLECTIVE
Rotterdam-based jazz collective Brintex Collective, led by keyboardist Brenn Luiten, started as a trio and has since grown into a six-piece outfit. Their sound is rooted in jazz, with influences from hip-hop and electronic music – reminiscent of artists such as Alfa Mist and Robert Glasper. In 2025, they released their debut album *Make It Make Sense*, which received airplay on various radio stations, including BBC Radio and NTS Radio. The group has performed at a wide range of festivals, including North Sea Jazz Festival, Super Sonic Jazz Festival, Into The Great Wide Open, Lentekabinet and Wildeburg.
Raychi
Raychi is a rapper from Croydon (London) who is quickly making a name for herself in the underground rap and grime scene. With her energetic stage presence, sharp lyrics and influences from rap, dancehall and reggae, she brings a distinctive sound rooted in community, creativity and the DIY culture of London's music scene.
Mirre
Mirre translates her interests into bold, colourful imagery, often inspired by nostalgia. By combining different techniques and incorporating analogue elements into her work, she creates a personal and distinctive visual language. Through her work, she seeks to rediscover the joy of creating and evoke feelings she wants to share with others.
BOENKBOENK
BOENKBOENK delivers an energetic live performance bringing together electronic music, rave culture and improvisation. Using analogue drum machines, sequencers and guitar, the collective creates a dynamic mix of electro, breakbeat, jungle and tekno. Performing right in the middle of the audience, they create an immersive experience that blurs the boundaries between stage and dance floor. Expect an unpredictable, pulse-raising performance that brings the energy of underground club culture into the museum.
