A Beautiful Mess — SAIL

Summer by the water.

People, food, music and dancing at the waterfront, from daytime into evening.

A Beautiful Mess, a social enterprise created by Refugee Company, helps people who have fled to the Netherlands gain work experience, build connections and move towards employment or education.

Sailing boats and visitors along the Amsterdam waterfront.
Friends laugh and talk around an outdoor wooden table.
A drink is poured into an A Beautiful Mess cup.
Cooks serve food from a brightly patterned A Beautiful Mess stall.
Flames rise beside flatbreads cooking on a grill.
Two smiling cooks stand together in front of the food stall.
A bass player smiles on the outdoor stage.
A percussionist smiles while holding his drum.
A dancer extends her arms as her white skirt moves across the stage.
A performer pauses with one hand against her chest.
People dance together in the sunshine beside the food stalls.
A singer stretches both arms wide amid stage haze.
Guests dance beneath colourful ribbons as evening falls.
Boats fill the Amsterdam harbour at dusk.
A DJ raises both arms towards the audience through blue stage light.
A mirror reflects visitors beneath the words We are all immigrants.
