The curatorial collective Something Something is taking part in #OccupyAtopos, the international residency programme of ATOPOS, from 13 to 17 November 2026. The residency is part of Affective Archives, a programme that explores the possibilities held within the organisation’s archive, ready to be enacted and released.

Something something is a curatorial collective working at the intersection of art, design and cultural research. Their work is grounded in collaborative inquiry and an interest in the social, cultural and material systems through which creative practice takes shape.
Formed informally in early 2025 through a collaboration between Anne Zhou (London, Shanghai), Anouchka van Driel (The Hague, Beijing) and Shanu Walpita (London, The Hague), the collective brings together complementary practices in curating, exhibition-making, research, publishing and public programming. The collaboration developed more substantially through the 2026 State of Fashion
Biennale in Arnhem, where the three worked closely across research, commissioning,exhibition development and international partnerships. Following the Biennale, something something has taken shape as a more defined collective platform for developing independent curatorial and research-led projects
