An alternative, interactive sports bar welcomes visitors to the Dutch Pavilion, transforming a space traditionally associated with competition into one of connection and inclusion. At its center, the games Multiform and Fluid Field, created by artist and designer Gabriel Fontana, rewrite the rules of sport to promote empathy and collaboration. Videos, objects, furnishings, and a reconfigurable playing field invite the public not only to observe but also to participate, challenging the social codes that govern bodies, spaces, and identities.
