Buiten, in de dingen

Anne Ballon
Anne Ballon received a grant for writing her debut titled Buiten, in de dingen. After the fall of a totalitarian regime in a neatly arranged mountain village, a group of women gathers by the water. Adrift in the now-red landscape, they search for new ways to live together. In a world oscillating between utopia and dystopia, they attempt to break free from their past and shape their shared desires. Yet, alongside the uniform bliss, the need to tear away and reclaim their own thoughts and autonomy grows.Anne is a writer and goldsmith based in Brussels. Her texts have been published in Rekto:Verso, De Poëziekrant, Deus Ex Machina, De Internet Gids, Flemish Review of Poetry, De Reactor, deBuren, and Hard//hoofd. Her debut will be published by Koppernik in 2027.

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.
