Discover a unique encounter between Vincent van Gogh and Nigerian artist John Madu. For the first time in its history, the Van Gogh Museum presents work by an African artist, in an artistic dialogue that opens up new perspectives.

This special presentation reveals the strength and creativity of more than 100 Amsterdam women, inspired by the story of Jo van Gogh-Bonger. She was the enterprising woman who helped make Vincent van Gogh world famous.

The exhibition presents a dialogue between 19th-century British colonial photography and contemporary work by the French-Sri Lankan artist Vasantha Yogananthan. The Rijksmuseum photography collection holds some 1200 images from 19th-century India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan. Many of these images were commissioned for European and American audiences who knew very little about the countries and regions they depict. The photographs supposedly presented an objective view of the world, but now we can see how they clearly reflected the interests of the people who commissioned them. Crossings presents the selection of colonial images alongside photographs by Yogananthan, who, more than a century later, visited the same areas to explore his own background.

Do you dread writing about your work? You’re not alone. This workshop is designed to help artists of all disciplines craft clearer, more authentic artist statements and bios that reflect both their creative voice and professional identity. We’ll explore what makes an effective artist statement and how it can evolve depending on context—whether it’s for a funding application, exhibition, publication, or your website. You’ll be guided through exercises that help you identify the core themes, questions, and materials in your practice, and how to express them in a way that feels honest and engaging without becoming overly academic or abstract. In the second half, we’ll tackle writing your artist bio—short, punchy, and to the point, but still full of personality. You'll leave the session with a stronger sense of your artistic voice, a solid draft of your statement and bio, and tips for keeping them fresh and adaptable for future use. This is a relaxed, no-judgement space where experimentation and messy first drafts are encouraged. Bring a notebook, your past statements (if you have them), and an openness to rethinking how you present your practice. This workshop is heavily subsidised, but not free, thanks to the generous funding from Leeds Council. In order to keep the workshop accessible to all, we offer three ticket tiers based on your income: £5, £10, and £15, plus the Eventbrite booking fee. We ask that you choose the ticket that best reflects what you can afford, so we can continue offering affordable opportunities for everyone. Your support helps us keep these sessions running for the creative community. About the Project The Resilient Artist Cohort is a free, artist-led development programme supporting six Leeds-based artists through mentoring, skill-sharing workshops, and hands-on exhibition experience.

EETVERHALEN #7 is een samenwerking met Dette Glashouwer en Joop van Brakel. Deze voorstelling maakt deel uit van EETVERHALEN: kijk, luister en schuif daarna aan voor een gezamenlijke maaltijd. Grote kans dat je dit BODEM-BUIK-BREIN verhaal nog nooit zo gehoord hebt en dat je na het zien van de voorstelling de wereld compleet anders bekijkt. Glashouwer Theaterproducties maakt innovatief en humorvol theater dat aanzet tot nadenken en het bewustzijn verruimt, over ons geldsysteem, over communicatie en over de dood. Dit keer nemen Dette Glashouwer en componist en muzikant Joop van Brakel je opnieuw mee op avontuur. Wat is eigenlijk de bodem, waar lopen we op en wat houdt ons in leven? We ontdekken dat onze buik er rechtstreeks mee in verbinding staat. In een handvol gezonde aarde zitten evenveel microben als er mensen op aarde zijn. In onze buik wonen meer diertjes dan we cellen hebben. We zien hoe ze jagen, zich voortplanten, elkaar opeten en weer uitscheiden. Als het microben zijn die vanuit de darmen signalen naar ons brein sturen, wie zijn we dan? En wie is er eigenlijk verslaafd aan chocola? Het verbond van de mens met haar bodem was nooit eerder zo tastbaar te beleven als in Bodem Buik Brein. Twee performers met ieder 30.000 miljard figuranten. Niets in deze voorstelling is verzonnen, de ontdekkingen zelf zijn al absurd genoeg. Credits: Dette Glashouwer (tekst en spel), Joop van Brakel (muziek en spel), Dirk Groeneveld (regie), Jeroen Dietz (beeld), Leonie Jupijn-Wenting (publiciteit), Karin van den Berg (zakelijke leiding). Over EETVERHALEN Eten is meer dan voeding of smaak – het is een universele taal. Elk gerecht vertelt een verhaal: het weerspiegelt cultuur, rituelen, vakmanschap en persoonlijke geschiedenis. Eten kan troost bieden, verbinden, verzoenen en begrip creëren. In het programma EETVERHALEN staat de verbindende kracht van samen eten centraal. Door wekelijks aan de keukentafel te zitten en samen te eten, ontstaan ontmoetingen en gesprekken die een brug slaan tussen mensen en culturen. Samen eten wordt zo een manier om elkaar te zien en de ander beter te leren begrijpen. Dit evenement vindt plaats in de White Box en in de Keuken in Bouwurk op het Oldehoofsterkerkhof te Leeuwarden, Fryslân. Information Source: Arcadia | eventbrite
