Stoeptroep is a collaboration between artists Lotte Koppens and Anika Hochstenbach.
A project starting during the 2020 quarantaine where we wanted to manifest ourselves in the open air. This way we wanted to make art accesible for more people, especially during the pandemic when museums were closed. ​

Searching for playfullness in ways of making led to drawing with chalk on public walls in Dordrecht. The temporariness of the chalk creates a free space in which new ways of drawing can be discovered, with a focus on playfulness and experimenting.

This collaboration has since led to the creation of more works in public spaces. From enormous pavement chalk drawings for the Tour de France Femmes to painting electrical boxes and murals: Stoeptroep loves to bring colour to the pavement.
