OPEN CALL #1

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. The aim is to support curators during the development phase of a project or research, rather than working toward an explicit final result. This will take place in a way that both inhabits and activates the spaces of the former wash and bathhouse where A Tale of A Tub is located. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment? Apply now!

OPEN CALL #2

Noorderzon, Amarte, and pop venue Simplon are offering creators from Northern Netherlands the opportunity to shape three nights during Noorderzon 2026. We are looking for experimentation: concepts at the intersection of music and other art disciplines, that belong after sunset and are anything but obvious. Do you have an idea that fits the after-dark hours? Then this open call is for you!

After a Tempest

Alex Raúl
From June 12 to 25, 2026, Felix Meritis will present After a Tempest, a satirical short film installation by Alex Raúl. In this work, Alex explores how revolutionary desire and the longing for an opaque pre-colonial past relate to the enduring realities of the neocolonial global order. It also raises the question of how postcolonial elites repurpose symbols of resistance and pre-colonial heritage to maintain that order.Inspired by Aimé Césaire’s 1969 play Une Tempête (itself an adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest from 1623), Alex takes the viewer to a fictional island, where, on the evening of its 50th anniversary of independence, the contradictions of the postcolonial condition come to the surface.

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.
