Witte Rook

Witte Rook is a platform for research, experimentation, and reflection in the field of visual arts. The program is based on providing time, space, and context through long-term projects in which the artist’s voice is central. … we start from our local environment, such as the history of the city and region, heritage, public space, and the communities, residents, and users who are part of it. … with a focus on digital storytelling and hybrid residency projects that explore what the artist-in-residence (AiR) of the future can be.
