Aden Mete is a Rotterdam based animator and interdisciplinary artist. Their work often consists of various mediums and turning them into visual metaphors to tackle social and environmental topics like climate crisis, (trans)gender experiences, mental health and many more alike. Experimentation and exploring new concepts are a natural and constant part of their artistic process. They find great satisfaction in creating and use it as a way to express their feelings and their inner world. How they view the world, themselves and the things around them influence their work a lot. They like to tell stories that are relatable to them and others, they want to touch people’s hearts and souls with their work.
They recently also started doing performance art, and are going on stage as a drag artist. They make their own costumes and design wigs for performances.

and cultural work.
The outcome will be a toolkit where methods of dealing with the artist visa application is written
down. The toolkit will be shared later with the participants.
