Goys & Birls is a Amsterdam based design, video and research studio. The founding members Juliette Lizotte, Monika Gruzite and Florian Mecklenburg graduated in 2016 from the Master program of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie — the Sandberg Institute.
They work on commissioned and self-initiated projects that are linked to contemporary culture and social issues. With a strong focus on visual storytelling and speculative design practice, Goys & Birls is dreaming in 4K and manifests beyond DIN Formats to reach a cutting edge visual language.
