Opening - When Life Gives You Melluns

Join us for the opening of WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU MELLUNS, featuring the premiere of ‘Good Effort!’, a collaborative film by Youniss Ahamad and Mellunman, accompanying Youniss’ new album. This absurd cinematic journey zooms in on the chaos of the city, where one woman’s mission disregards everything and everyone in her path.
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU MELLUNS is an antidote to the relentless digital hum, Mellunman takes over MINO for two weeks of community and creative collaboration. More than an exhibition, WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU MELLUNS is a curated space where genuine connection cuts through the digital chaos.Following the success of TMI (Too Much Information) at .TIFF (FOMU), Antwerp-based artist Adel Setta ‘Mellunman’ returns with iconic TMI works, unseen new pieces, and Mellunman-inspired creations by friends. Expect live performances, film screenings, a limited merch drop in the MINO shop, and a city-wide scavenger hunt for exclusive Mellunman merch.
