Drawing on his background as a multi-award-winning theater maker and artist, Perry Gits brings a multidisciplinary perspective to his work, which centers on artistic experimentation and community-building.

In 2026, U? once again opens up space for individuals and collectives who are closely connected to a community to step into a curatorial role. On Sunday, 8 November, Perry presents a program that fosters artistic development, sonic exploration, and underrepresented voices within ambient, live and experimental music—noting that more left-field and experimental spaces in the Netherlands often lack diversity. Alongside international artists, the program celebrates the plurality of Black sonic expression and the richness of diverse creative perspectives.
