Amarte Fonds

OPEN CALL

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub are joining forces this autumn to organise a residency for curators and curating artists based in the Netherlands. With this open call, A Tale of A Tub, with the support of Amarte, is launching a residency programme focused on experimentation and engagement with the local community. The selected curator will receive support during the development phase of a project or research initiative, without there being any specific end result to work towards. The idea is to make active use of the spaces in the former washhouse and bathhouse in which the art institution is based. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment? Apply now!

They received a grant

En je wordt weer thuis gebracht

Anna Raadsveld
Anna Raadsveld received a grant for writing her prose debut. En je wordt weer thuis gebracht is a literary exploration of the mutual influence between psychological disorder and one’s immediate environment. At its core, it examines not only the older sister’s bipolar disorder but also its impact on the younger sister as the narrator. The book investigates what it’s like to grow up in close proximity to a mental illness and the traces it leaves behind.Anna is a versatile creator with a background in acting. She studied at the Toneelacademie Maastricht and has appeared in various theater, film, and television productions. In recent years, she has further developed as a theater maker and writer, drawing from her experience as a performer. In her work, she explores how new ways of seeing and thinking can emerge. Her writing operates at the intersection of experience, imagination, and research, where personal and collective perspectives converge.
