dabida day 2024
At “Klok en Peel Museum” in Asten, the members of DABIDA and their guests will show their doll creations from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m.
We have previously been guests in the beautiful “Klok en Peel museum”, in 2014 and 2015. The beautiful Orangery provides a wonderful background for the various doll art created by our members and guests.
These DABIDA artists are present with their most beautiful and recent work:
Amy van Boxel, Olly Copal, Nell Groothedde, Saskia Hoeboer, Francisca Markus, Caroline van Stiphout, Marlaine Verhelst, Kim van de Wetering, Victoria Kostina and candidate member Luliia Samoilova.
An important part of DABIDA Day is the announcement of the winner of the Hannie Sarris Award. This year the theme of the competition is “Contact”.
In addition to the artists Petra Dijkstra and Satoko Shinke, who made it to the Top 3 in the Hannie Sarris Award, we have several guests: Tonia Wezerijn, An Brzoskowski, Sylvia Nieuwenburg and Martine de Bruin. The third artist to reach the Top 3, Chong Yang – hee from Korea, will not be present. Her doll, of course, will be present.
All doll artists that are present, are happy to explain their beautiful creations in different styles and materials. Some of them will show this in a half-hour demonstration. These can be seen throughout the day.
DABIDA day is interesting for everyone. The entire “Klok en Peel museum” can be visited during DABIDA Day, the museum is also very interesting for all ages.

, October 3, 2021, after 1 year of absense, another DABIDA day was held at “het Klooster” in Nuenen. (No DABIDA day was organized in 2022 because of Corona pandemic)
This DABIDA day was a special day, organized in collaboration with the Blue Planet Harp ensemble from Nuenen.
The harp ensemble made a musical performance of a fairy tale “The Doll maker”. The fairy tale was written by Inge Frimout, the driving force behind the harp ensemble. She was also the composer of the music. It became a musical dream in which dolls come to life. Some characters (dolls) from the story were created by DABIDA members.
This was a big challenge because the dolls for the performance were much larger than the regular work that these DABIDA members make. In addition, it was also a technical challenge because the dolls had to be movable and playable.
The performance was shown twice that day and together with the doll exhibition, a big success.
The DABIDA members were present with their most beautiful and recent work. Some members gave a demonstration. The following guests were present: Anna Zueva, Viktoria Fribus and Ankie Daanen. The Hannie Sarris Doll Award was presented, with the beautiful creation of Ekaterina Lipikhina as the winner.
