OPEN CALL

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub join forces to host a residency for Netherlands-based curators and curating artists. With this open call, A Tale of A Tub, with the support of Amarte, is launching a residency programme focused on experimentation and addressing the residential context the institution is situated in. 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!

Algorithm of Colour

Lawil Karama
Lawil Karama received a grant for the development of new work. Algorithm of Colour uses ERA5 climate reanalysis data and atmospheric scattering physics to model the sky over Mbale, Uganda, on 10 February 1973. The resulting color, produced as a modeled rendering rather than a documentary record, will be presented as a large-format print, video, and dome projection installation at W139 Amsterdam from September 2026.Lawil is an Amsterdam-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice centres on diasporic experience, marginalised histories, and the politics of memory. Working across installation, computation, and material research, Lawil develops work that locates historical presence in physical and atmospheric data.

The Amarte Foundation was founded by a number of individuals and their families who share a deep love for the arts. They wish to support the development of creatives and talent in arts and culture by providing financial means and where possible coaching, knowledge and experience. Artists who are active in the cultural sectors of the Netherlands or the ABC and SSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) can apply to Amarte for the support of projects in the field of theatre, film, music, visual arts and literature, as well as interdisciplinary projects.
