We warmly invite you to the presentation of residents work as part of the Contested Desires : Constructive Dialogues Project on Thursday, 12 February at 12:30 at Kunstfort Vijfhuizen, Fortwachter 1, 2141 EE Vijfhuizen.
This presentation brings together the work developed during the residency, a period dedicated to research, experimentation, and exchange. Structured as an open-ended framework rather than a fixed production model, the residency supports artists in testing ideas, processes, and collaborations over time. The works presented reflect this exploratory context, offering insights into ongoing practices and shared questions rather than finalized outcomes, and highlighting the diversity of approaches that emerged throughout the program.
RSVP: mail@h401.org
