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!

They received a grant

Harnas van zout

Maureen Ghazal
Maureen Ghazal received a grant for developing new work. In her poetry collection Harnas van zout, Maureen explores the various aspects underlying displacement. This includes displacement in relation to the body and the (birth) land. In the collection, she examines how memories can be kept alive in the face of loss, and how the physical and landscape-based home can continue to exist. The female voice plays a central role, leaving its mark on different landscapes.Maureen is a poet and writer. In her work, she explores the significance of birthplace, the connection between body and landscape, ancestral customs and rituals, and womanhood. Her work has been published in De Gids, De Revisor, and Extra Extra Magazine, among others. In 2025, her chapbook Ik, Waterlichaam was published by Wintertuin.
