Artists in Conversation

Artists in Conversation is a new series of broadcasts by DutchCulture in which we learn about the cultural climate in Egypt, Australia, and Hungary. By offering artists the opportunity to engage in conversation with each other, we don't only get to know the artists and their practices, but also the cultural sector of the environment they work in. Every edition of the series consists of two dialogues between an artist from the Netherlands and an artist from another country. Moreover, upcoming talents will be given the opportunity to present their work during the programme.

Artists in Conversation - Edition Egypt.
In the first episode, we dive deeper into the artistic dialogue between the Netherlands and Egypt. Participating Artists Omar Nagati (Caïro, Egypt), Michelle Provoost (Rotterdam, the Netherlands), Mahmoud Khaled (Alexandria, Egypt), and Nat Muller.

Podcast series on 50 years of international cultural policy

In collaboration with the Boekman Foundation, DutchCulture presents a series of three podcasts in which researchers and other experts discuss 50 years of Dutch international cultural policy. Not only do we look back on the past, but we also look towards future developments. (All podcasts are Dutch spoken)

In podcast #1: Retrospective Mirthe Frese speaks with researcher Toine Minnaert and writer Henk Pröpper about the beginning of Dutch international cultural policy, changes of the past few decennia and the present-day situation.

In podcast #2: Entangled Heritage historian and senior researcher at the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies Esther Captain and artist and curator Richard Kofi talk about international heritage. How must we deal with the paradox of colonial heritage? Why is the term ‘shared heritage’ problematic? What are the perspectives from various academics, curators and artists on this matter?

In podcast #3 Culture for Everyone Conrad van Tiggelen, director Strategy and Branding at The Netherlands Board for Tourism & Conventions, and Yassine Boussaid, director of Theatre the Meervaart, speak about the economic advances and intrinsic value of international cultural exchange. An important question is: how do you engage visitor not only internationally, but also within a region or city?
