Connecting people and cultures
by similarities

theblendwithin people & cultures,
is the secret–to establish meaningful connections
through similarities, to shape and celebrate
intercultural excellence, and to thrive together
for the benefit of future generations,

We are an intercultural creative destination that promotes future-oriented perspectives and experiences through a journey of discovery, collaboration, and contribution within the creative, cultural, and tech sectors.

We show similarities between things previously thought to be unrelated. Get involved!

Created as an international platform in 2015 for educational cross cultural projects, expression and exchange, our mission is to broaden perspectives by showing how and what is connecting people and cultures.

In the spring of 2016, we introduced our first interactive exhibition concept, a project adaptable to any location and suitable for all ages. This exhibition featured the works of renowned and emerging artists such as Dries van Noten, Stella Jean, Dj Kentaro, Odesza, Olivia Rose, and many more, and is part of a semi-permanent collection in the cultural center of the Dutch Embassy of Jakarta, Indonesia.

at the intersection of
creativity, culture
and technology

In 2019, we created a site-adaptive concept, allowing us to express and execute projects at any location. We transformed a deteriorated space into a vibrant creative interspace, combining meetups, mini-events, workshops, exhibitions, and a fusion café. However, just ten days after our grand opening on March 7, 2020, we faced the challenges of the global pandemic, forcing us to close our doors temporarily. This open-closed policy continued for two years, leading us to reevaluate our strategies and adapt to the changing world.

Projects & Community
At The Blend Within, we are at the intersection of creativity, culture, and technology. We embrace interdisciplinary collaboration and develop meaningful concepts and projects that contribute to social progress and wider appreciation for each other.

Mission:

The Blend Within will 
establish meaningful connections between people and cultures and technology, based on similarities, to shape and celebrate intercultural excellence and to thrive together for the benefit of future generations. We will show similarities between things previously thought to be unrelated
