About Jong & Vredig
During this event, we invite artists to speak. Each with their own stories, experiences and insights on the challenges and hopes in their communities. We will depart from the research question "How do you use your role as an artist to offer perspective on the current situation?" Expect engaging dialogues and the chance to ask questions, listen, engage in conversation and really connect with each other.
Join us on 14 April at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam for an inspiring afternoon of dialogue and reflection.
