Nieuws

Our intern, Thijsje Laan, has developed a workshop during her time at Nieuwe Vide. This workshop will take place on February 20 (7:30 PM – 9:30 PM).

Together, we will move, improvise, and dance. How does your body relate to a material? How does your body relate to another person? How does it feel to move together? How does this affect relationships or group dynamics? What do you learn about yourself through movement? Does an internal development take place? Does something change between you and others when moving in space?

In this session, we will use improvisation to explore the impact of movement on ourselves and each other.

Weekend Program at Nieuwe Vide: February 1 and 2

Saturday, February 1: Opening of the Exhibition “Re-Viewing Sites of Preservation”

On Sunday, November 24, we will festively close our exhibition Spreading Seeds: Ground for Growth! For this exhibition, we collaborated with The Young Artists Event, ARTCORE, and the Young Feminist Collective. We look back on a successful and well-attended opening and exhibition. During the Kunstlijn, we opened the studios of our creative hub and celebrated all the young creators featured in the exhibition. Different generations of makers came together at Nieuwe Vide, feminist zines were folded in the installation by the Young Feminist Collective Haarlem, ARTCORE created a mural to complement the portraits they made in collaboration with artist Julius Thissen. The section by The Young Artists Event was co-curated by Eva Zain van Dorst and featured intriguing installations by various makers.

Under the theme Spreading Seeds, we embraced the experiment (Ground for Growth) by exploring with young artists how development and change through visual art can lead to personal and societal growth. What do they need as nutrients for their own growth, and for the world around them?

Jong Fem Collective effort: Food for Thought

Jong feministisch Collectief (JongFem) would like to invite you to join us for the finissage of Spreading Seeds: Grounds for Growth. In this edition we are serving up food for thought within the framework of nutrients and community.

Schuur and Nieuwe Vide jointly present The Queer Image: an intersectional interdisciplinary film program with a queer feminist character. Together we choose a film around themes that play a role in the community. Films in which LGBTQIA people and women are not marginalized or victims, but rather make their voices heard and are in the spotlight. On Monday, December 2nd, we will screen All Shall Be Well, preceded by a short film by Marijn Kuijper, Declaring my Multitudes, and followed by a discussion about the film in our café. Tickets are available now!

On Monday December 2 we will play All Shall Be Well, preceded by Declaring my Multitudes by Marijn Kuijper, and followed by a conversation in our café.

Nieuwe Vide’s Choice
Declaring my Multitudes (2023) is a diary-like work that explores love, family, queer identity, and belonging. Marijn reflects on navigating life as a queer parent, a trans person, and someone with multiple lovers, while questioning how we present ourselves to the world..

About the artist
Marijn Kuijper (they/them) is a visual artist whose work is rooted in their personal life. They explore themes like navigating the patriarchy as a queer person, being a trans person, and living in a non-conforming family. Marijn challenges societal norms around relationships, family, and bodily autonomy. They graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in 2018 and received the Artist Start Grant in 2021/2022.

Schuur’s Choice
All Shall Be Well (2023) is a heartfelt film about love, loss, and resilience. Angie and Pat, a 60-year-old couple, face the challenges of grief and acceptance when Pat suddenly passes away.

In 2024, Haarlem celebrates 779 years of city rights. To mark the occasion, we invite you on November 23 at 14:00 to join a guided tour of our latest exhibition at Nieuwe Vide. For this show, we collaborated with The Young Artists Event, ARTCORE, and the Jong Feministisch Collectief. Under the theme Spreading Seeds, we experimented with young artists to explore how growth and change through visual art can foster both personal and societal development.

What “nutrients” do these artists need for their own growth—and for the world around them? What does a city like Haarlem need? Which critical questions must be asked? What sparks real change? Discover the work of—and engage with—a new generation of young (Haarlem-based) artists. 

Where? Nieuwe Vide, Energieplein 69

During this workshop Candela will lead us through a playful exploration of the interaction between movement and materials. What effect does physically holding a hard object, in contrast to spreading powder or moving around liquid, have on a creative process?

Participants will experience how all kinds of bodies can be used in different ways to leave behind images and creations.

Please bring old clothes that can get dirty.

We have only 15 spots for this workshop so please reserve your spot with anne@nieuwevide.nl by Tuesday March 28th, 2023.

UNTOLD-UNFOLD Finissage 15:00u – 17:00u
Met muziek van Roelof Ruis.

Kom voor een drankje op de laatste dag van de expositie Untold – Unfold.
Met werk van Meli Kuhn, Marianne Lammersen & Candela Murillo.

In de tentoonstelling UNTOLD – UNFOLD reageerden de drie kunstenaars Meli Kuhn, Marianne Lammersen en Candela Murillo via hun werk op een woelige wereld die voortdurend aan verandering onderhevig is. Vertrekpunt is de constante zoektocht binnen in jezelf naar een verhouding tot deze wereld. Het gebeurt niet dáár, maar hier. Niet in snelheid, maar in vertraging. Niet in onrust, maar in stilte.

Sculpturen, performance, film, schilderijen – de ruimte wordt via verschillende media betast. De beelden onderzoeken, zonder te vinden of concluderen. Zij komen voort uit verlangens, fantasieën, nog onduidelijk en onbepaald, aftastend en groeiend. De werken bieden een alternatieve ervaring van een leven en wereld waar de ratio te vaak de overhand heeft. In die wereld waar de buitenkant, de eerste indruk, de schreeuw, het (harde) uitgesproken woord, de duiding en gevestigde structuur geregeld een platte ervaring voorschotelt, zoeken zij naar manieren hun omgeving van binnenuit te begrijpen. Van analyse en ontleding, tot vlucht en verstilling.

In plaats van naar buiten, kijken we in UNTOLD – UNFOLD eerst naar binnen

In celebration of Purple Friday (Paarse Vrijdag, 12 December), Nieuwe Vide and De Schuur present a special edition of The Queer Image on Thursday, 11 December, bringing films and community together with a screening of Kiki by Sara Jordenö, accompanied by the short film The Voice of the Sea Goddess by Liane Paldi.

Nieuwe Vide will introduce the film, after which Liane Paldi, Taka Taka, and Aryelle Freeman from the House of Hopelezz will join the audience for a post-screening discussion. The conversation continues afterward in the Schuurcafé, while DJ Pyn sets the atmosphere.

‘Kiki’ is an American–Swedish documentary that follows seven young LGBTQ people of color in New York’s vibrant Kiki scene over the course of four years. Through their dazzling Kiki ball performances and their personal stories, the film explores themes of homelessness, illness, prejudice, activism, chosen family, and empowered gender expression.

Short film: ‘The Voice of the Sea Goddess’ – A new watery mythology where a fluid sea goddess comes ashore with a message. Not to punish, but to transform. In a shell where bodies are not judged, where change is celebrated, and where fun and seriousness go hand in hand, she invites you to listen.

The final weekend of our anniversary exhibition, themed Queer & Trans Futures, once again features a full performance program, and we celebrate our 30-year anniversary, together with the magazine launch of TRANS Mag.
On 29 November, starting at 15:30, there is plenty to do at Nieuwe Vide.

TRANS Mag is a consistently printed, fully trans magazine focused on preserving and documenting trans art, life, culture, and creation. The goal of Trans Mag is to produce as much archive-worthy trans media as possible, while supporting all artists who create it. Every purchase of Trans Mag directly supports the trans community.

29.11.2025 – 15:30
Mees Elias van Zanten will open this festive day with the performance I ain’t got time for self-disgust no-more.
Mees Elias (he/they; 1995) is a queer, trans* artist, curator, and sex worker. In his work, he centers the queer body as a political battleground: a place where normativity is dismantled and where vulnerability, eroticism, and pleasure are deployed as forms of resistance and emancipation.

I ain’t got time for self-disgust no-more is an approximately 10-minute experimental live performance by Mees Elias, in which the performer is largely nude. Stripped, without protection, he literally opens himself to the curious, judgmental, and fetishizing gazes from the outside. At the same time, he slowly licks, strokes, and eats—ever more provocatively and sensually—a life-sized pink chocolate replica of his own vulva, while maintaining direct eye contact with his audience.
Where trans* people generally feel uncomfortable under societal gazes and judgments, Mees reverses the roles in this performance. Through this radical act of bodily re-claiming, Mees, full of confidence, sexiness, and courage, provides his audience with the discomfort he so often endures himself.

29.11.2025 – 16:00 – magazine launch
TRANS Mag launch in the exhibition space & talk/readings by magazine writers: Lena Kurzen, Ezra Nadi, and Angel Bakelaar.

29.11.2025 – 18:00 DINNER (fully booked)
Sharing a meal is something we often do at Nieuwe Vide, and this time we’re doing it with everyone. Unfortunately, the dinner is already fully booked. The food will be prepared by BAKBLIK, a vegan food truck with a squatting background. If you would like to stay but don’t have a ticket for the dinner, we recommend walking to Mooie Boules, close to Nieuwe Vide. They also serve food (including vegan options).

29.11.2025 – 19:00 – performance by Cyn Micheli

Cyn Micheli will perform. Shift Slightly: They Melt My Tongue is an experimental performance exploring embodied knowledge and diverse voices within trans bodies. Words can be absorbed, metabolized, and transformed into sound, movement, and effects, creating a more visceral and shared experience of language. Language is essentially conceived as a ruin: both a broken system and a map of failures, where time and space dissolve into the unspeakable and undefinable, in a state between deviation and queer notations.

Shift Slightly: They Melt My Tongue navigates liminality through faltering speech, silence, and noise, reconfiguring remnants of language into something new and fluid, and invites the audience to take part in its endless reformulation.

Cyn Micheli (they/he) is a transdisciplinary artist and researcher working with language, sound, and performance. They explore the possibilities of queer-becomings through text, body extensions, alter egos, and shape-shifting voices. By delving into both bodily and fictional existences, his artistic practice dismantles our current socio-political construction of reality and penetrates urgent realms of collective unknowability and disorientation. Through a disobedient and poetic lens, he explores the affective and relational edge-networks between fluid bodies, shadowy monsters, and tender encounters.

29.11.2025 – 20:00 – 22:30
 DJ TONIC is a trans DJ who brings energy with her to the dance floor during every set. By using queer pop bangers, each set becomes a performance as well. With roots in queer nightlife, she made the inevitable step behind the turntables to hypnotize everyone with cunty techno beats. She also enjoys playing sexy and mysterious hard groove beats. Besides being a DJ, she is also a writer, performer, curator, and activist.
Come dance and celebrate with us the 30-year anniversary of Nieuwe Vide. We look forward to the next 30 years!

 Vide Cultura: Through rot and renewal features work by:

This coming Saturday is the day: the workshop on Entanglement and Transformation starts at 2 PM at Nieuwe Vide, Energieplein 69.

A Workshop on Entanglement and Transformation is an interactive, movement-based workshop (2.5 hours) in which participants explore what it feels like to move, adapt, and transform physically and genuinely in relation to others. In pairs, participants are tied together with straps, creating connected bodies that communicate about how they can move through space. They confront each other with their understanding of interdependence, based on their individual tendencies and histories.

Tickets (registration required)
Time: 14:00
Duration: 2.5 hours

Nieuwe Vide and Patronaat join forces for young makers.

Starting November 2025, Nieuwe Vide and Patronaat will enter into a special collaboration. Together they will offer space to (young) artists from Haarlem and the surrounding area to showcase their work in the EXPO of Patronaat.

Within this program, Nieuwe Vide will realize four exhibitions at Patronaat during the 2025/2026 season. The exhibitions provide space for young and/or queer makers working with themes of night, experimentation, and diversity.

The works, often on the intersection of image and sound, have a direct link to the night and can be seen during Patronaat’s opening hours, including during club nights and concerts. This creates a unique cross-pollination between music, art, and audience.

Makers who want to exhibit or pitch their work can contact info@nieuwevide.com. We especially encourage artists who work with themes of the night, and who may also want to apply for support through Nachtmakers, to respond.

PUMP UP THE END (powered by ARTCORE)
First up for this collaboration is: ARTCORE: an interdisciplinary leisure program in which ten to fifteen young people (14–20 years old) are introduced to contemporary art and design. Under the guidance of artist-curator @marianne_hotske and musician-artist @duck.r.zwolsman, they create work together, visit exhibitions, receive workshops, work on their portfolios, and create their own exhibitions. ARTCORE is a collaboration between Nieuwe Vide & 37PK Haarlem

In the ARTCORE installation, animation, sculpture, and drawing come together in a landscape that balances between nature, city, and technology. A world where nature merges with industry, infused with a dystopian atmosphere where you can feel ARTCORE’s resistance rising. The young people of ARTCORE behind this exhibition invite you to wander through this leftover world. Are you brave enough to uncover its secrets?

Exhibiting young makers: Jet, Levi, Max, Rosa, Matt, Ties, Dali, Tessa, and Lola.

Presentation #1: ARTCORE – PUMP UP THE END (powered by ARTCORE)
Date: 28.11.2025 – 14.12.2025
Opening: 28.11 – 16:30-18:30h
Open during opening hours and concerts of Patronaat

Upcoming Saturday we have a full programme!

At 14:00 there will be a Magic (Tea) Reading session by Yegane Mehrzad  in our Artivist Library: The Living Room.

Yegane Mehrzad is an artist and designer born in Iran and currently based in the Netherlands.

Situated in the fluctuating and shifting currents of the world, her practice explores her position within the socio-political and geopolitical issues. Guided by feminist, care, and resistance discourses, she draws inspiration from the curiosity of old and new knowledge and the playful wisdom of myths and nature, making her practice a vessel of reimaging the world.

The practice of “Magic reading,” inspired by fortune-telling traditions, holds spaces for collective readings. This is a participatory experience of drinking loose-leaf tea and reading the shapes of the Tea leaves in the cups. Traditionally, in Tea reading, or other methods of fortune telling, there is a fortune teller and a receiver. But, in Magic Reading, it is the participants who read their cups with my guidance, thus read their fate, taking the agency for their fate and transformation, and practicing autonomy of their narrative. As we read our cups together, we listen to each other’s realities, practicing moments of care and resilience, inspiring hope, empathy, and passion for ourselves and one another.

Read here more about Yegane Mehrzad 

At 15:30 Biyi Zhu/BITSRAY will perform  Get You Out of the Blue Soup in our projectspace.
Biyi Zhu (She/Her) is a Southeast China–born, Netherlands-based interdisciplinary artist, performer, and researcher working across video art, documentary, and technology-integrated performance. Drawing on her lived experience, her practice explores mobility,migration, and coexistence, reflecting on how these forces shape identities, relationships, and socio-political realities. Currently, Zhu investigates care and kinship through the domestic practices of traditional Chinese medicine and Cantonese herbal soup, engaging with non-conventional archiving, collective cultural memory, ecological imagination, and alternative narratives. Alongside video, film, and soup-making workshops, she works with
performance as process, embodying and experimenting with performativity to explore and materialize her understanding of kinship.

Get You Out of the Blue Soup

This performance engages with the theme of Composting Politics by treating food, memory, and cultural rituals as compost—materials that decompose, transform, and renew across time and space. The humble act of soup-making becomes a political and poetic gesture, carrying the fluid emotions, latent memories, and quiet strength of everyday practices. The herbs used, often by Cantonese grandmothers for healing, become an informal, living archive: something evaporative and permeable, passed down and transformed through generations.

This performance project is made possible by the Cultuurfonds.

Saturday 8 november:
Exhibition open: 12:00 – 17:00

14:00: Performance: Sigrún Gyða Sveinsdóttir

My life is an Opera is a performance work where fragments of text, movement, and classical singing are woven into an operatic auto- biography. It reflects on gendered hierarchies, outsider experiences, and climate anxiety, asking how gender equality and climate justice are deeply interconnected. The piece is both tragic and comic: the audience is invited to share a cake that is slowly cut and eaten throughout the performance, a playful yet poignant metaphor for community, division, and the consumption of shared resources. Influences from TikTok culture and physical comedy are interlaced with classical opera, composting fragments of personal life and popular culture into something open and collective.

Sigrún Gyða Sveinsdóttir is a classical singer, composer, and artist based in Haarlem. Her work moves between visual art and opera, combining voice, movement, and imagery to create performances that are both intimate and expansive. She often uses opera not only as a musical form but as a way of structuring stories, drawing on themes such as power, climate change, and collective experience. Tragicomic tones, popular culture, and everyday observations frequently appear in her practice, reflecting her interest in how personal and social narratives overlap. Sigrún has shown her work in Reykjavík, Amsterdam, and across Europe, collaborating with performers, musicians, and fellow artists.

Palestinian Cinema: When I saw you – Annemarie Jacir (2012) 1:38 min
Organised by Jong Fem Collective as part of the Palestine Cinema Days

Doors open: 7:00 PM
Film start: 7:30 PM (Project Space)
End: 10:00 PM

Includes food (vegan – no registration required)
Location: Nieuwe Vide, Energieplein 69, Haarlem

The world is alive with change: brimming with reawakened energy, new styles, music and an infectious sense of hope. In Jordan, a different kind of change is underway as tens of thousands of refugees pour across the border from Palestine. Having been separated from his father in the chaos of war, Tarek, 11, and his mother Ghaydaa, are amongst this latest wave of refugees. Placed in »temporary« refugee camps made up of tents and prefab houses until they would be able to return, they wait, like the generation before them who arrived in 1948. With difficulties adjusting to life in Harir camp and a longing to be reunited with his father, Tarek searches a way out, and discovers a new hope emerging with the times. Eventually his free spirit and curious nature lead him to a group of people on a journey that will change their lives.

When I Saw You is the story of people affected by the times around them, in search of something more in their lives. A journey full of adventure, love, humor, and the desire to be free, but most of all this is a story about that moment in a person‘s life when he wakes up and finds the whole world is open and everything is possible – that moment you Synopsis feel most alive.

Date: October 22, 2025

In honor of our 30th anniversary and to capture the character and history of Nieuwe Vide, we are collaborating with artist Eva Kreuger to create a composition of various objects and shapes that tell us something about Nieuwe Vide and your experience of this place, using cyanotype. Which iconic image or object should we include? Even if you can’t attend the workshop yourself, you can still submit something in advance that we can use for printing! Click here to make a digital contribution.

Cyanotype is an early, cameraless photographic process that creates monochrome white-blue prints by exposing a surface coated with a light-sensitive solution to UV light. Cyanotypes were originally used to create blueprints of architectural designs. As an art form, however, it became especially well-known through Anna Atkins’ plant prints.

Teken or Leave itconsists of Open Draws and Workshops, every other Wednesday at 7:00 PM at Nieuwe Vide.
*We use sliding scale pricing. Can’t afford it? Come anyway!

Tickets

From 19:00 onwards you can drop by Nieuwe Vide for this special open draw.
In collaboration with Stichting de Baan, this time we’ll be working with LEGO. Inspired by ‘Oma Lego’, we’ll be building lego ramps for every little doorstep/threshold, making it easier for wheelchair users to move from space to space within Nieuwe Vide. At the same time, they will become beautiful, colorful constructions.

In this way, we want to make art and culture not only literally more accessible for people with disabilities, but also inspire other institutions to follow this good example!

Do you have some LEGO lying around? Do you feel like getting creative, or would you like to sponsor us? Bring your LEGO to Nieuwe Vide! A collection bin is ready and waiting.

Of course, you’re also welcome to work on your own projects or simply come by for the cozy atmosphere!

Teken or Leave It is a low-threshold evening at Nieuwe Vide where you’re welcome to draw, create, or simply just be. Everything is allowed, nothing is required. Every other Wednesday there is either a workshop or an open draw. More info: https://nieuwevide.com/teken-or-leave-it/

Beforehand there is Queer Kitchen! 
Queer Kitchen is a monthly safe and cozy dinner table for queer people and allies in Haarlem, with simple but tasty food based on ‘pay as you can’ (€5–€10).
Everyone who feels colorful or queer is welcome on Wednesday evenings from 17:00 to 20:00, before Open Draw at Nieuwe Vide.

Location: Nieuwe Vide, Energieplein 69, Haarlem

Mark your calendar for every weekend in November, because Nieuwe Vide Artspace and Studios is officially turning 30! The autumn exhibition of Nieuwe Vide – which is also part of Kunstlijn (the oldest open studio route in Haarlem) – is an opportunity every year to connect new artistic interests and relationships within our Nieuwe Vide community by opening the doors of our creative hub. Every weekend in November, there will be something happening at Nieuwe Vide.

Since our artistic direction is focused on unraveling, revealing, and shifting systematic forms of inequality, the autumn exhibition also turns the gaze onto ourselves, practicing a form of artistic (self)critique. To celebrate creative experiment, community, and the continuity of our existence under uncertain circumstances, in 2025 we present the exhibition: Vide Cultura: Through rot and renewal. With the future in mind, we will recycle, compost, transform, and grow.

Every Saturday in November, there will be an afternoon/evening program in our exhibition space to celebrate who we are and who we will become. Performances by various artists will take center stage in this program. These artists have been selected through an open call and will be announced soon. In addition to these performances, visitors can enjoy our exhibition during the weekends, with plenty of things to see and do at Nieuwe Vide.

During Kunstlijn (November 1 & 2 and November 7 & 8), there will also be open studios by our Nieuwe Vide Studiomakers. Keep an eye on our socials and this newsletter, because soon we’ll share more about upcoming events and a party… after all, you only turn 30 once.

Location: Energieplein 69, Haarlem
Opening: November 1 – 12:00
End Party: November 29 – tba
Exhibition open: Friday to Sunday, 12:00 – 17:00, until November 30
With a festive performance program every weekend.

Nieuwe Vide and Tubelight warmly invite you to the presentation of the new edition of Tubelight Magazine: #131 – Compost Heap. This edition has been put together on the occasion of Nieuwe Vide’s 30th anniversary, where overlapping themes were explored around Composting Politics by various writers, makers, and thinkers. The presentation coincides with the finissage of the exhibition pulling blood from stone by Ahmad Mallah and Rebecca Lillich // Krüger. They were interviewed by Veerle Driessen, editor of Tubelight, and will also be present.

Composting Politics is a method for social change. Good compost is crucial for fertile soil. From this idea, Stefan Cammeraat, Matthieu Reijnoudt, Tessa Bourguignon, Ischa Borger, Veerle Driessen, Benjamin Schoonenberg, Haiko Sleumer, Cecilie Fang, Jip van Steenis, and Hilde Meeus, together with the reader, reflect on what we want to let grow and how.

Time: 14:00 to 17:00
Location: Energieplein 69, Haarlem

On July 1st, Haarlem commemorates the victims and simultaneously celebrates the abolition of slavery. Nieuwe Vide will be closed on this day because this is and should be a nationally recognized holiday. (NL in comments)

We encourage you to celebrate and learn about the importance of emancipation of (family of) enslaved and oppressed people in relation to Keti Koti, and beyond. We hope to see you at upcoming events!

On the Friday evening before Keti Koti, June 27, the Zwarte Muggen (Black Mosquitoes) are organizing a film night at Nieuwe Vide (Energieplein 69, Haarlem). They will screen the documentary Anton de Kom, Wij slaven van Suriname (We Slaves of Suriname) from 1999. This documentary by Frank Zichem tells the life story of resistance fighter, anti-colonial writer, and trade unionist Anton de Kom. The film is spoken in Sranantongo and Dutch, with Dutch subtitles during the Surinamese parts.
Afterwards, there will be space for a discussion about the importance of commemorating and celebrating Keti Koti, and about recognizing Keti Koti as a national holiday. Everyone is welcome from 19:30, and the film will start at 19:45. It lasts 1 hour, until 20:45. We will then have over an hour for discussion. The evening will end no later than 22:00.

June 14 – Slachtnacht
June 15 – Houtfestival
June 18 – Workshop at Nieuwe Vide

Farewell Rituals is a series of performance artworks taking place from June 14 to 18, 2025, across the Netherlands. The series will be presented in various editions and forms: beginning with performances at the Houtfestival and during Slachtnacht, followed by a Teken Or Leave It workshop at Nieuwe Vide Artspace on June 18 (registration for the workshop is available via Eventbrite).

Farewell Rituals explores how new rituals can emerge through performance art, centered around the theme of grief without farewell and its impact on both individual and collective memory. This year marks 80 years of freedom in the Netherlands, and the performance draws a connection between the absence of farewell rituals and the history of a country that has experienced profound loss.

This performative action will be presented and repeated throughout the festival, combining religious elements with territorial and cultural symbols to create a meditative, immersive experience. The audience is invited to participate and reflect with the artist on themes of grief, loss, and death.

Click here for more information about Farewell Rituals.

#1 Performance at Houtnacht (Slachthuis) 

(20:00 -23:00)

The first action of the series “Farewell Rituals” will take place on June 14, 2025 at Houtnacht in Slachthuis. 

The performance consists in the creation and building up of the object that will accompany the artist during her journey of exploration around mourning and grieving through the Netherlands. This first action will take place during the night, with the first full ritual from the creation to the burning, ending with the symbolic and physical death of the chosen element by the artist that represents her loved ones that are no longer with her.

#2 Performance during Houtfestival

(whole day) 

The second action of the series will take place on June 15, 2025, at the Hout Festival.

The performance will consist in pray the Rosary for 5 minutes in Spanish, facing a floral wreath, with a video of the same action in loop, the combination of the sound from the video and the spoken word from the performer, will create an immersive and almost indistinguishable noise, who, despite potential language barriers, will connect through sound and cadence.

At the end of the prayer, the performer will tie the first ribbon onto the flower wreath, marking the beginning of the ritual journey.

The artist will stay in the stand/podium of Nieuwe Vide, during the festival and repeat the action a few times during the whole festival. When the artist is not performing, it will be talking, inviting and discussing with the visitors about the art piece, the meaning of mourning, death and rituals. How the collective rituals can affect personal experiences and vice versa. 

#3 Teken or leave it: Farewell Rituals – a performative workshop – (Register via Eventbrite).

In this workshop we will explore the concept of ritual and performance art, inviting the participants of Teken Or Leave It to reflect on personal and collective experiences of farewell or absence, blending writing, drawing, and discussion about mourning rituals, the differences and similarities of rites from different cultures, to understand new symbolic acts through performance. Culminating with the participation of a collective performance where the artist will lead an experience acknowledging humanity’s intrinsic need for meaning in the face of loss. While traditional rites help humans cope with life transitions, performance art can invent new rituals addressing contemporary social needs workshop at Nieuwe Vide, blending writing, drawing, and discussion about mourning rituals, followed by  participants tying white ribbons with names to the flower wreath culminating with the burning of the flower wreath.

Additional Program De ontmaskerde Macht (The Unmasked Power)
During the exhibition, interviews (recorded during the 2022 Stripdagen) will be shown in the film room at Nieuwe Vide. A few works will also be on display in the Schalkwijk shopping center during the Stripdagen.

On Saturday, May 24, we will offer a guided tour in collaboration with Dik Bol, Kees van Leeuwen, Amnesty International, and Sporen van Slavernij Haarlem. The tour lasts about one hour and will take place twice. It starts at the Koepel and ends at Nieuwe Vide with a presentation by Dik Bol, initiator of De Ontmaskerde Macht, about the background of the project.

May 21st Leyla Ali gives a workshop, Characters of Freedom

On May 24 and 25, Stripdagen Haarlem returns. This year, Nieuwe Vide takes part once again with an exhibition (De ontmaskerde macht), a booth at De Koepel, and this workshop. On May 21, we’re hosting Characters of Freedom, a creative session where participants explore and illustrate what freedom means to them.

About the workshop
Characters of Freedom by Leyla Ali is a drawing workshop where we can explore what freedom looks like through character design.We will create original characters that represent different forms of liberation—personal, political, or imaginary.
Participants explore the theme of freedom by designing original characters that embody liberation. We’ll reflect on what freedom means personally and politically. Participants will translate emotions, ideas, or lived experiences into visual storytelling. By the end, everyone will have created their own “Character of Freedom” to share and discuss. You don’t need experience, it is open to all levels and all drawing styles.

About Leyla Ali
Leyla is an illustrator with a love for primary colors and bold lines. She loves to work on social justice projects, film and animation festivals. Her favorite thing on earth is to create characters and to experiment with different materials, and her last obsession is animating characters and learning how to tattoo. Last year, Leyla Ali participated in the Stripdagen exhibition at Nieuwe Vide as a member of the collective Dit Lichaam van Ons.

About the workshop Embodying the Archive, Archiving the Body
This workshop is about the stories we carry – stories that often relate to both our personal histories and the social and cultural contexts in which we live. Through three writing exercises, we will explore different ways of narrating autobiographical (first-hand) experiences.

In this workshop, ‘writing’ is understood in a broad sense – drawing a storyboard or making a voice recording are also forms of writing. To participate, please bring your favourite writing tools – pens, a notebook, a laptop, or a smartphone.

This workshop will be held in English.

11 & 12.04.2025 – 14:00 – 16.00 – Mon Jardin Magique – Encounters – Join making a Mural

Elena Kostenko will produce a mural in the Nieuwe Vide, and invites you to join her for a one-to-one conversation about your life experiences, personal histories, and how one creates social and cultural bonds. Inspired by the themes of her multidisciplinary project, Mon Jardin Magique, the mural features illustrations of trees that gradually form a forest — a metaphor for rootedness. During each conversation, Elena will make a photographic portrait of the participation in front of the mural. After each interaction, Elena adds a tree or branch to the mural. In this way, the mural grows with each conversation. Every participant receives a copy of their portrait by email as documentation of the encounter.

Re-viewing Sites of Preservation – an exploration of tactility and memory in art.

International Women’s Day

On International Women’s Day, Young Feminist Collective Haarlem is organizing a sit-in on Stationsplein Haarlem to take up space and emphasize that women have that right, especially because women’s rights are still being restricted in various places in the world. We will sit together, get to know each other better, work on different textiles/crafts to put ‘traditional feminine’ work in the spotlight and possibly make music. With this we want to honor that through crafts women could previously come together in their own circles and discuss their lives there, as well as create a visual language for themselves.

Screening DAISIES – Schuur 16:15

Furthermore, Jong Fem has a collaboration with De Schuur that day and we will gather there at the end of the afternoon for a film screening. Read more here.

Sietske Zandbergen is an artist from Utrecht who is currently undertaking a residency at DOC4. This will culminate in a duo exhibition with Rutger van der Tas at 37PK.

Dragons, fry men, cake, fingers, glitter, animals, and old men—Sietske Zandbergen creates a fantasy world in her sculptures, reflecting on everyday images from our visual culture. By giving these images an unsettling twist, she asks: what do we really think about this? Should we find it cute, fun, or appealing? She works with a childlike enthusiasm, where absurdity, humor, and discomfort play a key role.

“The dessert stomach is an extra stomach that, after dinner, can still easily be filled with sweets. In my childhood, this stomach often took the triangular shape of a Cornetto ice cream. Nowadays, this hunger for consumption is satisfied in other forms as well.”

In this workshop, artist Sietske Zandbergen invites you to fill your dessert stomach until you feel sick. Create sculptures using cake, candy, and other sweets. Bring your own materials, but there will also be supplies and plenty of sugary treats available.

Teken Or Leave It is an evening of workshops and open drawing sessions, held every two weeks on Wednesdays at Nieuwe Vide, for illustrators, makers, and anyone who loves to create. These evenings offer the chance to collaborate, learn from each other, or simply work individually but alongside others on personal projects. More than anything, Teken Or Leave It is a moment to relax and create. Bring your own materials, your current project, ideas, or anything else you’d like.

Teken or Leave It: Haptic Encounters
Date: 29.01.2025
Location: Nieuwe Vide, Energieplein 69
Costs: €0 – €3 Flexibele tarieven
Register via Eventbrite

🎨Participants of Teken or Leave It are invited to explore hapticity with the artist collective Notes on Hapticity. The workshop will focus on the ‘haptic encounter’, a concept that is central to the collective’s collaboration. The haptic encounter refers to experiences of touch and tactility, and can be understood more broadly in relation to experiences that make a deep impression and linger with you — it could be your relationship to a place, person, a moment in your life.
The workshop will begin with an introduction about how hapticity is used by artists, architects and even media to convey ideas, promote, or persuade us. During the second part of the workshop, the participants will create their own collection of haptic encounters using both digital and analogue techniques — sensing, observing and engaging with the surroundings in a different way. Participants are asked to bring with them a mobile phone with camera or a digital camera. Drawing materials and paper will be provided, but feel free to bring your own materials.
This workshop is connected to our exhibition, which opens on February 1st at Nieuwe Vide, alongside a public program.

Piet Zwaanswijk, one of Haarlem’s most remarkable artists, has passed away. His impact on the (Haarlem) art world is beyond words, yet his influence is visible throughout the city. His ability to set the city in motion, his sharp political critique, and his absurdism have shaped Haarlem and will forever remain an indispensable part of it.

Nieuwe Vide is grateful for the many years in which our paths crossed and for the collaboration in the Fietsznfabriek. We will miss Piet deeply.

06.11.2024 Workshop: Live Model Tekenen door Lieke van Wijck
Model: Rebecca Lillich Krüger.

The first Teken or Leave it workshop by Lieke van Wijck (from, among others, Een Allegaartje and De Kleine Academie Haarlem) was a great success. On November 6, Lieke will continue with her next workshop: Model Drawing.
Register via EventBrite on time. The last edition was fully booked.

This is a unique opportunity to learn to draw the human body, and we have a special model for this evening: Rebecca Lillich Krüger. Rebecca previously participated in our residency performance Humanji by Candela Murillo. In 2025 we expect Rebecca’s new project at Nieuwe Vide together with Palestinian-Syrian artist Ahmad Mallah.

Over the past month, we have been confronted with almost daily vandalism of our building, with clear anti-Palestinian messages. At first, the vandalism was aimed at the Palestinian flag and anti-genocide posters hanging in our windows. Then, our entrance sign was vandalized. The first two weeks, it seemed to only happen at Nieuwe Vide. But last week, the Ceramic Centre in Haarlem was defaced with similar slogans. This recurring action goes against everything we stand for as an art space and community: solidarity, justice and an inclusive society without oppression.

We proudly present Decomposing- Recomposing – Articles for growing Tomorrow’s Seeds. These are articles and interviews written by Giovanna Calainho, among others, where we delve deeper into the creative processes of artists who show work in our exhibition or have a studio in our building.

By bringing a deeper perspective to each project, we aim to increase our understanding of the goals, achievements and intentions.

Over the past month, eight young creative makers have been thrown in at the deep end. After a tour of the vinyl factory Record Industry and the record store Near Mint, they started working on their own album covers under the guidance of Eva Kreuger and Ben Plummer. And we can already tell you, the end result is amazing!

The 20th edition of the Korenlint will take place in 2024, on September 14 and 15, 2024. Nieuwe Vide is also a location. So besides being part of Queer Festival Haarlem  with our exhibition, you can also listen to all kinds of special choirs this weekend! 

“Routes, networks and connections”
The Korenlint has been a collaboration with the Open Monument Days since 2001. The choirs participating in the Korenlint will sing in many monuments. The theme in 2024 is ‘Routes, Networks and Connections’, which provides room for countless possibilities for creative programming. A theme that fits nicely with the Korenlint, where as a visitor you also map out routes to go from one choir performance to another, and as a choir you make connections with other choirs and possibly new members.

Design your own LP cover for your band? Or just for your fantasy album? Sign up for the workshops and expo, a collaboration with Haarlem Vinyl Festival and Nieuwe Vide. (13-27 year) 

Vinyl is extremely popular again today. Even among young people. Walk into a record store at any given time or visit a record fair, and you’ll definitely see teenagers and people in their twenties flipping through the crates. In some cases, these new record collectors don’t even own a record player, but they just want that beautiful album from their favorite artist.

Perhaps that’s the appeal of vinyl in the age of unlimited streaming—the physical aspect. Unlike a small image the size of your thumbnail, you have a large cover with beautiful artwork. Each cover is a work of art in itself. How would young people, who grew up with a phone in hand and AirPods in their ears, design such an album cover themselves? What do they think it should look like?

Under the guidance of a visual artist, you can work on your own album cover in 3 sessions!
You’ll learn about vinyl and the covers that go with it. The sessions are briefly structured as follows:

• A visit to the new record store Near Mint and a tour of Record Industry, the largest vinyl factory in Europe (located in Haarlem!).
• In 2 sessions, you’ll work on your own design. With guidance from visual artists Eva Kreuger (Nieuwe Vide Studios) and Ben Plummer, you’ll develop an idea and bring it to life.

There’s room to continue working on your design in your own time in between sessions. Finally, the designs will be printed on real album covers.

During the Haarlem Vinyl Festival, September 27-29, the album covers will be exhibited at Flinty’s. The workshops all take place in September, and the exhibition is during the Haarlem Vinyl Festival from September 27-29. Participation is free.

Sign up here now!. 

We can’t believe our luck! We have been positively assessed by the Mondriaan Fund for our programme 2025-2028.

“The vision of Nieuwe Vide Artspace and Studios, focused on art as a critical driver for social change, is clearly formulated and rooted in the squatter history of the arts podium. The mission is to form a sustainable artistic community and make room for people for whom the current capitalist society isn’t helpful or even is restrictive. The committee believes that Nieuwe Vide is able to achieve a clear synergy between art space and cultural hub.” Read the full report here.

We as Nieuwe Vide also recognize that other podia are experiencing financial difficulties as a result and wish them the best of luck. We are happy with the recognition, but in a period of an extreme right-wing cabinet we recognize that this will have major consequences for the institutions and makers without structural funding. We therefore strive to continue our vision in the national art climate. It is more important than ever to distribute money for socially critical art.

Here are all our upcoming dates for the open drawing evenings and workshops under the name Teken or Leave it! Every other Wednesday at Nieuwe Vide.

Teken or Leave It is a bimonthly evening for illustrators, makers and people who like to create. During these evenings we can work together, learn from each other, or simply work separately but side by side on individual projects. But Teken or Leave It is above all a moment to relax and create. We will provide a space and some material will be available to experiment with.
One evening a month there is an open drawing evening – and on the other evening a thematic workshop is given by a guest artist, followed by an open drawing evening.

Schuur en Nieuwe Vide presenteren samen The Queer Image: een inter­sec­ti­o­neel inter­dis­ci­pli­nair film­pro­gramma met een queer femi­nis­tisch karakter. Samen kiezen we een film rond thema’s die spelen in de gemeenschap. Films waarin lhbtiq+’ers en vrouwen niet gemar­gi­na­li­seerd worden of slachtoffer zijn, maar juist hun stem laten horen en in de spotlight staan.

8 Juli – The Queer Image #4: Femme & The Sixth Element (20:30)

On Monday, July 8, we will screen the film Femme as a preview, during a new edition of The Queer Image, our queer special, a collaboration between Schuur & Nieuwe Vide. Before and after the film you can enjoy a performance by drag performer The Sixth Element.

Schuur’s Choice: Femme

Exciting, provocative and surprising thriller that avoids all clichés. Jules, better known by the stage name Aphrodite Banks, is one of London’s most acclaimed drag queens. When he buys a pack of cigarettes in the neighborhood after a drag show, he is attacked by a group of homophobic young men. While Jules tries to process his trauma, he recognizes one of his attackers in the gay sauna he regularly visits. Without his makeup, he manages to approach the boy incognito. The meeting is the start of a dangerous game of revenge.

Nieuwe Vide Performance: The Sixth Element

The Sixth Element (she/they) is a en3ty that Kevin Pieterse created. One that lives inside their head. She is the medium through which Kevin emotes and performs their feelings. Her big yearning is to unite us in our sadness and make us feel something that we might think we’ve lost, to connect to our inner neglected child.

‘Sixth is my muse in every way, the most glamorous melancholy you’ll meet on stage.In a society that revolves around individualism, I search for the communal feeling.’

This Body of Ours (Dit Lichaam van Ons) is a temporary queer collective consisting of nine young comic creators. They ask the question: What does the future of comics in the Netherlands look like? They answer this question with a riotous, queer and colorful comic collection and exhibition at Nieuwe Vide. From the end of April they also participated in DOC4, our artist in residency, and developed new work for the exhibition on view until 29.09.

For Teken Or Leave it, Abe Borst gives a workshop in the context of the exhibition This Body of Ours: Beat Your Art Block. Many artists suffer from tension when drawing, or sometimes get completely stuck. Cartoonist Abe Borst is not unfamiliar with this situation, but over the years he has found exercises to relax and relax behind the paper again. In this workshop, Abe guides you through these exercises to regain your drawing flow.

About Abe Borst
Abe Borst is a versatile comic strip creator and illustrator who makes work for various target groups and purposes in daily life. From books for children about animals, to making complex information accessible to a larger audience in the form of infographics and live drawing. In his personal work he always ultimately comes back to the basics that motivate him to draw: monsters and himbos.

This Body of Ours (Dit Lichaam van Ons) has transformed Nieuwe Vide into a showcase of themselves as artists and cartoonists, with highlighted and enlarged images, sketches and character designs from the comic book. They also created new work during the residency in DOC4. In this way, the exhibition is a physical extension of the book.

The exhibition at Nieuwe Vide is open from Friday to Sunday, 12:00 noon – 5:00 pm until September 29. This is part of the Haarlem Stripdagen

Teken or Leave It is a bimonthly evening for illustrators, makers and people who like to create.

The 39th Houtfestival will take place on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 June 2024. Then you can enjoy the most surprising and diverse performances by local and international top artists. Houtnacht kicks off the festival on Saturday evening from 6:00 PM – 11:59 PM.

This Body of Ours (Dit Lichaam van Ons Collective) fills another container on behalf of Nieuwe Vide at the tiny festival section. Last year we showed a performance by Candela Murillo and this year Dit Lichaam van Ons will fill the container with exuberant queer comics, zines, live story telling by Gu(u)s Møystad (8:00 PM) and zine workshops will be given by Dido Drachman .

There is also a video installation by Valentijn Hamel. This video installation shows some drag videos. As a drag artist, Valentijn’s favorite activity is to combine narrative elements with fantastic visual ‘world building’, something that lends itself perfectly to the medium of film. He uses his love and knowledge of animation to create anime-style scenes of himself and his drag family ‘HAUS of 4D’.

GOLF container
Golf festival and Houtfestival are also joining forces again. There will be a container during Houtnacht with programming on behalf of Golf Festival.

The GOLF festival is a collaboration between the Haarlem cultural institutions Nieuwe Vide, 37PK and Pletterij en Quartair in The Hague. GOLF aims to provide space in Haarlem for challenging, experimental audiovisual art and explores the relationship between visual art and music through an artistic approach.

Het Walrus | Performance
Born as Tjalling Schrik in Haarlem. Played drums for 20+ years in theater performances at Susies Haarlok, Orkater and Veenfabriek and has now been active with modular synthesizers for 2+ years. His music is experimental, groovy, complex, dark and funny.

Pjotr ​​Lasschuit | Performance
Pjotr ​​is a storyteller. Using his modular and trumpet skills, Pjotr ​​creates journeys that lift you up, knock you down, but never let go. Expect subtle polyrhythms and jazz influences in a performance that focuses on sound, improvisation and moment exploration.

Jaromir Mulders | Performance/Installation: Tunnelvisie
Tunnelvisie is an installation consisting of a collection of LED strips placed along the walls of a container. Together these LED strips form a tunnel of light. This tunnel forms different patterns based on natural phenomena.

In addition to the exhibition opening of This Body of Ours (Dit Lichaam van Ons) on June 1, 4:00 PM, simultaneously with The Young Feminist Collective Zinefest, there will also be a program during the Stripdagen Haarlem.

This Body of Ours is a temporary queer collective consisting of 9 young comic makers. They ask the question: What does the future of comics in the Netherlands look like? They answer this question with a riotous, queer and colorful comic collection and exhibition at Nieuwe Vide. From the end of April they will also participate in DOC4, our artist in residency, and develop new work for the exhibition that opens on June 1.

For Teken or Leave it, Gu(u)s Møystad gives a narrative drawing workshop in the context of This Body of Ours. How is a cartoon created? We conduct research with two narrative techniques that play a major role in visual stories: visual rhyme and juxtaposition. How do you bring two separate images and ideas into conversation? Which stories then emerge, and what meanings do they evoke?

We start by creating an image bank with inspiration from magazines, and then work with image rhyme and juxtaposition to discover stories. This is how we playfully come up with new (and sometimes surprising!) stories.

Gu(u)s Møystad is a visual artist, writer & storyteller based in Amsterdam. His work is a mixture where story, text, image, truth and fiction intertwine and are expressed in various art forms. He draws on history, fantasy and folklore, and is fascinated by spaces in between and the boundaries and vulnerabilities of the body.

His comics and illustrations have appeared in printed and online magazines and platforms, including De Lage Landen, Stripgids and Hard//Hoofd. He also publishes his work independently and produces the cyberzine ‘Letters from Skemer’.

Teken or Leave It is a bimonthly evening at Nieuwe Vide for illustrators, makers and people who like to create. Participate? DM/info@nieuwevide.nl

24.04.2024 Teken Or Leave it Workshop door Leyla Ali – character design.

Dit Lichaam van Ons/This Body of ours is a temporary queer collective consisting of nine young comic creators. They ask the question: What does the future of comics in the Netherlands look like? They answer this question with a riotous, queer and colorful comicbook and exhibition at Nieuwe Vide. The collective does this by participating in our artist in residency: DOC4 and thereby will also develop new work for the exhibition opening on the 1st of June.

For  Teken Or Leave it Leyla is giving a workshop in the context of the exhibition, about the process and research that goes into character design within comics, from sketch to final result.
Leyla is an illustrator with a love for primary colors and bold lines. She loves to work on social justice projects, film and animation festivals. Her favorite thing on earth is to create characters and to experiment with different materials, and her last obsession is animating characters and learning how to tattoo.

Dit Lichaam van Ons/This Body of ours transforms Nieuwe Vide into a showcase of themselves as artists and other cartoonists, with highlighted and enlarged images, sketches, character designs from the comic book and new work created during the residency in DOC4. In this way, the exhibition becomes a physical extension of the book ‘This Body of Ours’, launched by the collective in May 2024.

This will be part of Stripdagen Haarlem. In addition to the work by the artists themselves, this exhibition – on display during the Stripdagen Haarlem – will also be expanded with an ongoing collective artwork that will be worked on all weekend and will run together with FemiZINE ManiFEST. 

🎨Teken or Leave It is een tweemaandelijkse avond voor illustratoren, makers en mensen die graag creëren.

This Body of ours (Dit lichaam van ons) will land at Nieuwe Vide during the STRIPDAGEN HAARLEM May 31/June 2, 2024
This queer collective has started crowdfunding!

What does the future of comics in the Netherlands look like? In This Body of Ours we – a queer group of nine young comic makers – answer this question with a riotous, queer and colorful collection of crazy, beautiful, sensitive (and sometimes even sexy!) stories!

The book will be a manifesto from the new generation to the old guard and a plea for the neglected child of the art world to society in general, in which our vision for the future of the comics world is represented: diverse, queer, open, critical, but above all full of PASSION and LOL.

Una Jongenelis (Amsterdam, 1997) is a cartoonist and visual artist. In addition to her visual arts practice, she studied Psychology and Orthopedagogy. In her work, topics from psychology are often discussed in an accessible and light-hearted way. For example, she made a comic about sexual harassment and is now working on an animated film about panic attacks.

Drawing Workshop 
During the workshop on March 27th, we will look at how you can translate your own experiences into images and how to do this in a way that you can reach other people with it. Nieuwe Vide is working towards the @stripdagenhaarlem in June, where we want to think about image, impact, personal stories and feminism and give a platform to political makers.

Teken of Leave It is a bimonthly evening at Nieuwe Vide: for illustrators, makers and all kinds of people who like to create. During these evenings we can work together, learn from each other, or simply work separately but side by side on individual projects.

In honor of International Women’s Day JongFem & Nieuwe Vide, proudly announce JongFem Skill Sharing! We will start this series on Tuesday March 12th and 19th with a two-part zine workshop by Lotte van den Hoogen founder of Fe.mini.ism

JongFem Skill Sharing
In March, April and May of 2024, we will host workshops on the theme of intersectional feminism and zine making. With the workshops we are working towards our Zine Festival on the weekend of June 1st and 2nd during the Haarlemse Stripdagen (@stripdagenhaarlem). Keep an eye on the socials of @nieuwevide and @jongfemcollectief for Zine Fest updates.

What is JongFem
Jong Feministisch Collectief Haarlem, also known as JongFem, is a collective based in Haarlem by and for young people with the aim of introducing youth to intersectional feminism and everything that comes with it. JongFem organizes workshops, movie nights and strikes, among other things. This is done in collaboration with and  at the location of Nieuwe Vide. Would you like to know more about JongFem? Follow @jongfemcollectief on insta or send an email to jongfemcollectief@gmail.com 

About Fe-mini-ism
Lotte van den Hoogen is the founder of the Fe-mini-ism project, with which she wants to encourage connection by sharing personal stories.

In the first workshop, all participants are asked to create a zine about an experience/life story around feminist themes that they think would benefit someone else. This experience/story could be something that changed their life or simply something that happened to them as they walked to the bus stop that morning.

In the second workshop, participants will first discuss different feminist movements. From there we will make zines based on this theme and knowledge. Learn more about @fe.mini.ism at www.fe-mini-ism.com

We would like to welcome you to the finissage of Eva Kreuger’s exhibition (In)valuable, (in)visible at 4:00 PM at Nieuwe Vide, Energieplein 69, Haarlem.
This is the opportunity to see the newly added work in collaboration with Christopher Reichling, who made two songs especially for this exhibition with all the (printer) sounds from the exhibition, while Eva Kreuger made another video work with archive material.
Listen here Prnt Ct Cpy Pst and here Delay Decay, Release Repeat, Return Sustain.

The exhibition has changed over time due to the material provided by visitors, participants in workshops, meetings of activists and makers, adjustments and additions by Eva Kreuger herself. Also, upon entering the exhibition, one immediately became part of the exhibition through the motion camera that captured visitors and this footage ended up in the exhibition. In addition, a motion sensor was installed in collaboration with Jaromir Mulders that actively controlled small robots to push buttons on printers.

On Wednesday, February 28, there will be plenty to do at Nieuwe Vide as part of the Week of the Haarlem Night organized by Nachtwacht Haarlem.

31.01.24 – Teken or Leave it Workshop: (re)working archival images – Eva Kreuger
This workshops is part of the current exhibition (In)valuable, (in)visible – The circular archive and value production in artistic spaces (Tentoonstelling geopend: Fri-Sun 20.01.2024 – 07.04.2024)

During the workshop we will work on different ways to create new work with existing images. For example, collages, digital image editing, putting together a new photo series, printing, cutting and copying. You can bring a photo (or photos) that you want to make something with or you can choose a photo from the archive in the exhibition.
When working with (photographic) archive material, you can use an image that already exists. You can ask yourself all kinds of questions about this: why am I using this image? What does this photo already say and what would I like to change about the image? What story do I want it to tell? We can also wonder which photos are worth keeping and why there is much more footage out there of some subjects than others.
The photo(s) you are going to use may have been taken by someone else. Maybe there are family members on it? Maybe you don’t know where the photo comes from and what exactly is depicted in it. You can let your imagination run wild or try to find a new way to tell the story of the photo.

Teken or Leave It  is a bimonthly evening for illustrators, makers and people who like to create. During these evenings we can work together, learn from each other, or simply work separately but side by side on individual projects. But Teken or Leave It is above all a moment to relax and create. We will provide a space and some material will be available to experiment with.
One evening a month there is an open drawing evening – and on the other evening a
thematic workshop is given by a guest artist, followed by an open drawing evening.

Lost and never found – Ahmad Mallah

Wij van Nieuwe Vide zijn solidair met de slachtoffers van genocide en veroordelen de jarenlange onderdrukking van het Palestijnse volk. Nieuwe Vide beschouwt vrede en het einde van de bezetting als de enige oplossing om een ​​einde te maken aan de apartheid. Wij willen steun blijven bieden aan de vrede, steun aan Palestijnse kunstenaars. Om te beginnen zullen wij op ons gebouw het spandoek ‘Lost and never found’ van de Palestijns-Syrische queer kunstenaar Ahmad Mallah tonen, wij zullen niet zwijgen, om in solidariteit is om kunstenaars te laten zien dat ze niet alleen zijn als anderen zich afkeren. Ons doel zal altijd zijn om solidariteit te uitten, om ruimte te bieden voor zichtbaarheid en verbinding, om de gezichten van de abstracte verhalen te laten zien.

We raden u aan het werk van Ahmad Mallah te gaan bekijken op verschillende plekken in Nederland, bijvoorbeeld bij No Limits! Art Castle in het Sexyland gebouw, als onderdeel van de tentoonstelling ‘Protest’ die op 8 december werd geopend.

 Zowel op zijn website als bij No Limits! Art Castle verkoopt Ahmad alle portretten uit deze serie en schenkt 50% van het geld aan de PCRF, het Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, om zijn kunstpraktijk in solidariteit met het Palestijnse volk te brengen.

During these evenings we can work together, learn from each other, or simply work separately but side by side on individual projects. But Teken or Leave It is above all a moment to relax and create. Last time there was a Fe-mini-ism workshop, where people started making feminist zines. You are welcome to continue with that, or do something completely different. From this feminist lens we can also discuss the current world, express and process the intense events in Gaza. We stand in solidarity with Palestine, we have always offered space to activists and understand that it keeps people’s minds occupied. If you want to express that, meet fellow people, make your banner for the upcoming Cease Fire demonstrations or Palestine wake, you are welcome to join us. Tea will be warm, space will be provided.

We will provide a space and some material will be available to experiment with.

One evening a month there is an open drawing evening – and on the other evening a thematic workshop is given by a guest artist, followed by an open drawing evening. The workshops so far have consisted of making feminist zines, finding your own (political) themes, learning techniques such as gifs and painting and next year we will offer even more space and workshops.

Join us every other Wednesday at the Nieuwe Vide from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM. The doors open at 6:30 PM.

Our current DOC 4 artist in resident Lola Maggi (she/they) is a Chilean visual artist who studied architecture and fine arts, majoring in sculpture at Finis Terrae University in Chile. Their current practice focuses on exploring and experimenting with the outcomes of movement on materials.

During the upcoming Teken or Leave it workshop: Playing with impermanence: exploration of materials

Lola, with a background in architecture and fine arts, will guide us through turning ideas into physical representations using materials such as paper and rope. We will explore materials and how to express an action in volumes. We will create impermanent models with clay and paper. Lola will guide us through turning ideas into physical representations using materials such as paper and rope. We will explore materials and how to express an action in volumes. We will create impermanent models with clay and paper.

DOC4 is an artist-in-residence location on the Scheepmakersdijk in Haarlem, where (inter)national artists can live and work for a while. The DOC4 program is coordinated by 37PK in collaboration with Nieuwe Vide. 37PK received the American urban artist Gaia, the Eritrean-Ethiopian writer Sulaiman Addonia and the Italian artist Luca Grimaldi here. In 2022, Nieuwe Vide received artist Harun Morrison here.

More info about Maggi’s residency and upcoming exhibition will follow here soon.

Nieuwe Vide joined Houtnacht and Houtfestival again during the weekend on Saturday 17 June 2023, (6:00 PM-11:59 PM) and Sunday 18 June (12:00 PM-11:00 PM). We were part of the Tiny Festival where culture gets an extra stage during this musical Houtweekend. During Houtnacht Nieuwe Vide shows the performance Humanji: a sonically and visually hypnotic performance, a relationship between sound, image and movement. On Saturday evening there was a performance by Candela Murillo. On both days we showed a video installation based on the performance that emerged from the residency period last spring at Nieuwe Vide.

This performance asks everyone present to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. The abstract, dark journey will focus on exploring the possibilities of physical expression and vulnerability while removing one of the primary senses of all performers: sight.
Humanji is a project consisting of the creation and performance of an album by Starkbravado alongside a physical creation and performance choreographed by Candela Murillo. This project is co-curated by Nieuwe Vide, an exhibition space and an artistic breeding ground that focuses on experimentation and talent development.

Nieuwe Vide is a Haarlem cultural breeding ground and art space just outside the center where experimentation and talent development are central.
We are constantly looking for ways to connect art and society, based on the belief that art can help us think about new ways of viewing and organizing the world.

Team:
Performers: Rebecca Lillich, Roberta Maimone, Anna Riley-Shepard, Arturo Vargas, Jefta Tanate, Candela Murillo
Light design: Julia van der Veen
Music Composer: Lewis Harrison
Filmmaker & editor: Niko Murillo
Director: Candela Murillo
Curator Nieuwe Vide: Anne Mul

Faria van Creij-Callender (1998) is a surrealist painter who’s focusses on a playful approach to duality. She is currently graduating from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Symbolism, the past and the present and layering which connect to her mixed background, often emerge in her compositions.

The workshop:
Faria’s style is based on late Renaissance and Baroque influences which are then placed in contemporary situations and will be reflected in the workshop itself. Flower bouquets will be used as a still life to either draw realistically, or/and can be completely pulled apart to create your own compositions. There is possibility to get tips on how to compose a drawing as lifelike as possible, or to completely dive into your own flower world.

Nieuwe Vide kicks off the new year with a performance by the Spanish contemporary dancer and visual artist Candela Murillo on Saturday afternoon 14 January. We celebrate with drinks that the exhibition UNTOLD/UNFOLD reopens after the winter break. In this exhibition, the three artists Meli Kuhn, Marianne Lammersen and Candela Murillo respond through their work to a turbulent world that is constantly subject to change. The starting point is the constant search within yourself for a relationship with this world.

Be welcome at the New Year’s drink! It starts on Saturday, January 14 at 15:00 and the performance of Candela Murillo at 16:00.

On Wednesday evening 18 January we will start again with Teken or Leave It. It will be a regular open drawing evening, where you can decide for yourself what you are going to draw/paint/… (fill in the blank). You don’t need to have drawing experience. Everyone is welcome! So let your imagination run wild on the empty paper. And try something new in the new year.

The costs are €3 (material costs). Coffee and tea are free.

So come to Nieuwe Vide on Wednesday evening 18 January at 19:00 for Teken or Leave It.

As part of the exhibition UNTOLD-UNFOLD, which can now be seen at Nieuwe Vide, visual artist Meli Kuhn will give a workshop on Wednesday evening 23 November during Teken or Leave It. The inner self-portrait is central during this workshop. What image do you have of yourself and how do you position yourself in the world? During this workshop you will work on a self-portrait, but there will also be playful exercises to see how you view the other.

So come to Nieuwe Vide on Wednesday 23 November at 19:00 and make a self-portrait.

Learn more about Teken or Leave It.

The upcoming Teken or Leave It evenings will take place this fall until the Christmas holidays on November 9 and 23 and December 7. On Wednesday evening 23 November there will be a workshop with visual artist Meli Kuhn. The other two meetings are open drawing evenings. All evenings are devoted to our program Spreading Seeds: Building Worlds in the Ashes of the Apocalypse. So come and sign with us on November 9 from 19:00-21:00 at Nieuwe Vide.

Due to the increasing covid infections, we want to work vigilantly at the Nieuwe Vide and take measures to prevent contamination as much as possible. In this way we hope to keep the activities as accessible as possible for everyone. Read more about it here.

We ask you to follow the directions of our staff; mostly (young) volunteers who act as attendants during exhibitions. Their job it is to make sure all safety regulations are observed during your visit. Please treat them with respect!

Within the research theme Spreading Seeds: Building Worlds in the Ashes of the Apocalypse we will think about cards during this open drawing evening of Teken or Leave It. How do maps shape our reality and how do they affect how we navigate through our lives? Which places do we see and not see? Who decides what belongs to whom on the map? What colonial meanings are associated with maps? Within Fantasy, a map is usually the starting point to build a world of characters and stories. So during this open draw evening you can make your own map of your own world, body or mind, or make a map of places that have often been made invisible or of worlds that doesn’t yet exist.

Everyone is welcome to join in or draw their own thing! So come on Wednesday evening September 28 from 19:00-21:00.

After the summer break we will continue drawing within the research theme Spreading Seeds: Building Worlds in the Ashes of the Apocalypse. The first Teken or Leave It will be an open draw evening. We are going to get inspired by the recent event in the Schuur Haarlem with the dragking performances by @latinx_charm and @luciansquid from House of LøstBois in collaboration with the Haarlem Town Queers. During the meeting we will look back at these performances and see how we can playfully resist, try our own things and reinvent ourselves by drawing.

Everyone is welcome to join in drawing their own thing! So come Wednesday evening 14 September from 19:00-21:00.

From the 1st of August to the end of August, the Nieuwe Vide will have a summer break. This means that there will be no soup corner and teken or leave it during this period. We will start up again on the 24 and 25 of August with the Cineclub x HTQ evenings. We look forward to seeing you again at the Nieuwe Vide from 9 September.

Enjoy your summer!

We proudly present the summer edition of Nieuwe Vide’s Cineclub. The program for this edition is made in collaboration with local organization HTQ – Haarlem Town Queers. This edition of Nieuwe Vide’s Cineclub is part of the Cineville summer tour and will consist of 2 movie nights with an exciting support act. These midsummer film nights will be held in the open-air cinema of the Schuur; the Loading Dock Cinema.

During the next open draw evening of Teken or Leave It on Wednesday 22 June, we will sit together in the exhibition space to reflect on the current exhibition ULTIMATUM (4horsemen) while drawing. During the Stripdagen Haarlem 2022 and in this exhibition the theme of world building is central. Which worlds were created by the 4horsemen? What do we see on the walls? And which worlds would we build ourselves? Together we will work through speculative fiction to build on the traces left behind by the 4horsemen.

“It matters what matters we use to think over matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.”

Donna J. Haraway, Staying with the Troube; Making Kin in the Chthulucene

So come draw with us next Wednesday, June 22 from 19:00-22:00 during Teken or Leave It at Nieuwe Vide.

Nieuwe Vide presents the films Pretty Pictures by Bernardo Zanotta en Mother Earth’s inner organs by Ana Bravo Pérez on June 18, from 18:00-23:59 at Houtnacht.

In his film Pretty Pictures, the Brazilian artist Bernardo Zanotta shows the gap between beautiful images and their production. He recorded the ‘beautiful images’ in a semi-automatic greenhouse in the Dutch countryside. Indoors, bromeliads are grown artificially, a plant species that comes from Brazil and is produced and prepared for sale here in the Netherlands.

Coal and hammocks are the setting for the film Mother Earth’s inner organs by Colombian artist Ana Bravo Pérez. This film installation is about the extraction of coal in Colombia and the consequences for the local communities in La Guajira and industries in the Netherlands and the rest of the world. 

More information on Cineclub at Houtnacht 2022.

Would you like to learn how to capture your opinion in one image? Or would you like to be able to tell ‘the story, behind the story’ in several drawings?

Drawing journalist Eva Hilhorst and cartoonist TRIK have set up a Tata State of Mind project together, in which they want to arrive at a nuanced picture of Tata Steel by means of drawing workshops. They also would like to ask participants of ‘Teken or Leave It’ to respond to the current situation.

During TRIK’s workshop on Wednesday evening 25 May, the emphasis is on capturing the (Tata) situation in one image. In the workshop of Eva Hilhorst on June 8, you will learn how to tell a more extensive story based on multiple images.

You can of course take your result home with you. But you can also hang it in the ULTIMATUM (4horsemen) exhibition, which will be shown at Nieuwe Vide during the Stripdagen Haarlem. So come May 25th and/or June 8th from 19:00-20:30 to Teken or Leave It Workshops at Nieuwe Vide. After that there is still the opportunity to draw until 22:00.

Wednesday evening, May 11, we start with the open draw evening Teken or Leave it. Teken or Leave It is a twice monthly evening for illustrators, makers and people who love to create. During these evenings we can collaborate and learn from each other, or just work separately but alongside one another on individual projects. But most importantly Teken or Leave It is a moment in time to relax and create.

Look at the program of Teken or Leave It for more information.

Do you feel like rolling up your sleeves? On Wednesday 13 April from 13:00-20:00 you can do that at Nieuwe Vide. Artist Harun Morrison will then continue working on his life-size boat, which is being built in the exhibition space of Nieuwe Vide, and you can also help build it. A bowl of soup is waiting for you at 13:00 and we’ll end the day with a drink.

So do you want to make art and build at the same time? Come to Nieuwe Vide to help with this work of art.

From Saturday 5 June Nieuwe Vide is open to public again. You can visit the current exhibition Queer Diasporas by reserving a timeslot. Please read our Covid-19 safety measures before your visit.

Per 1 June 2021 Nieuwe Vide has a new address:

Energieplein 69,
2031 TC Haarlem

However, our location stays exactly the same.

NRC Handelsblad publiceerde op 31 oktober 2020 een schokkend artikel over verdenkingen van ernstig seksueel grensoverschrijdend gedrag, racisme en geweld binnen de beeldende kunstsector. We zijn geschokt en verdrietig over de inhoud van dit artikel, en onze gedachten gaan uit naar alle mensen die te maken hebben gehad met dit (met name seksueel) geweld. We hebben bewondering voor hun moed om met deze verhalen naar buiten te komen.

De betreffende persoon heeft in 2013 meegewerkt aan een expositiereeks bij Nieuwe Vide. Met de kennis van nu betreuren wij het enorm dat hem hierdoor destijds een podium is gegeven voor zijn beeldend werk. Binnen Nieuwe Vide streven we naar een veilige en prettige werkomgeving, waarin absoluut geen plaats of podium is voor welk grensoverschrijdend gedrag dan ook. Wij willen bijdragen aan een beeldende kunstsector waarin dergelijk gedrag niet getolereerd of genegeerd wordt, en er tijdig wordt gesignaleerd en juist wordt gehandeld wanneer dit het geval is. Mensen die behoefte voelen om een verhaal of ervaring met ons te delen zijn altijd welkom om contact op te nemen of langs te komen, of kunnen een melding doen via https://mores.online/.

Als organisatie hebben we de verantwoordelijkheid om een ruimte te scheppen waar kunstenaar, medewerker, student, bezoeker en studiomaker zich veilig voelen. Met het huidige team werken we actief aan het doorbreken van de patriarchale structuren, zowel binnen het programma als in de werkwijze. Dit doen we door respectvol met elkaar om te gaan en zorgvuldig na te denken over met wie we samenwerken. Door ook kritisch te zijn op ons eigen doen en laten. Zo werken we met zijn allen aan een beter, inclusiever en positief kunstklimaat.

Nieuwe Vide has had to close its doors because of Covid-19. But that doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to do anything in these uncertain times. We will show online what Nieuwe Vide has to offer when it comes to art, culture and political engagement.

The latest edition of Nieuwe Vide’s Journal of Humanity with the theme Staging the Absurd is now available online for free. Absurdism is central to Nieuwe Vide’s program of 2020. We relate the absurdism of current international politics and the role that online platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube play in spreading ‘news’ to the Absurdist Theater from the beginning of the twentieth century. After all, this form of theater emerged in a period of social and political instability, which has many characteristics of our current situation. This issue contains contributions from Michiel Westbeek, Dorothy Hunter, Kalib Batta and Eric Peter.

There will also be an Online Zine as a result of the exhibition TMI: searching for truth in the post-truth era. This exhibition is temporarily canceled due to Covid-19. Still, in these uncertain times, when there is an abundance of information about the Corona virus and it is difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, we think it is important to give attention to this topic. The artists Alexandra Hunts, belit sağ, Lyubov Matyunina and Toon Fibbe show in the Online Zine how they deal with the changing information landscape and the constant flow of (unreliable) information and how they resist it.

We are also proud to present Nieuwe Vide Radio. In this podcast, curator Liesbeth Visee and project coordinator Ytje Veenstra interview studio artists and artists from the Nieuwe Vide network about their art practice.

Finally, Nieuwe Vide gives you a weekly recipe on Wednesday to make a delicious vegetarian soup. This is to compensate for our Soup Corner every Wednesday afternoon, which is now canceled.

Also check @tekenorleaveit on Instagram. This open drawing evening is every other week at Nieuwe Vide, but now you can participate in the online version. The upcoming online version is April 1st at 19.00.

Keep an eye on our website and social media for the latest online activities!

After the departure of former director Lennard Dost in January 2019, the Nieuwe Vide asked Liesbeth Visee to become curator. Previously Visee had worked as project coordinator for more than 4 months at the Nieuwe Vide.
