The week centres on Names in Our Veins, the autumn exhibition at Buro Stedelijk featuring renowned Indonesian contemporary artist and 2014 Prince Claus Awardee FX Harsono alongside Dutch contemporary artist Vincent Ruijters. The exhibition brings together two artists reflecting on histories of migration, erasure and inherited memory from different positions across generations and diasporas.
As part of Exchanges, the Fund’s programme connecting Prince Claus Awardees with Amsterdam’s vibrant cultural landscape, three Seed Awardees and artists from Buro Stedelijk’s network will join the programme in Amsterdam for a series of events centred on exchange and collaboration. Dicky Takndare, Natahlie Muchamad, Tumelo Mtimkhulu, Bui Bao Tram and Dhiraj Rabha will organize workshops and meet with Vincent Ruijters and FX Harsono. Together, these encounters create space for new connections, conversations and lasting relationships across the city’s diverse creative scene.
