DIWAN talks: Residence Permit for Self-employed Artists

DIWAN for Arts and Dialogue deals with urgencies and pressing questions which the art field, institutions, and practitioners are confronted with. For our third event, we aim to shed light and inform ourselves on the application procedure for acquiring a residence permit for self-employed artists. How do you get a residence permit to work as an artist in the Netherlands? What are the requirements and costs for applying? What are the important points you need to focus on for making a fool-proof application? When do you need to get started with preparing your application?

If you are a non-EU art student who just graduated or if you are almost reaching the end of your search-year (zoekjaar) visa, this session will help you to orientate your next steps towards staying in the Netherlands. DIWAN invites immigration lawyer Nikki Vreede who has experience in assisting non-EU creatives in applying for their artist residence permit. She will share information with us about the procedure towards applying for this specific residence permit: who can apply, what is the paperwork needed, what are the costs, how long does it take to get a response, and what happens after receiving the response, in case of rejection or approval. The session will be divided to include ample time for direct and case-specific questions from the participants.

The event will be moderated by members of DIWAN with the support of the W139 team. You can watch the recording on YouTube here

16:00 – 16:15 Introduction by DIWAN members, laying out the topic
16:15 – 16:45 Nikki Vreede’s presentation
16:45 – 17:00 Break-out rooms
17:00 – 17:30 Public questions from the participants

Nikki Vreede is a lawyer at Everaert Immigration Lawyers in Amsterdam. She mainly assists private individuals, especially in the field of family migration, permanent residence, withdrawal of residence rights, public order issues and residence permits based on humanitarian grounds. Nikki also advises on employment-based immigration. She assists highly skilled migrants and self-employed persons, especially in the creative sector: artists, musicians, dancers, as well as companies that want to become a recognized sponsor to hire highly skilled migrants. Nikki teaches for the Training and Study Centre for the Judiciary on various topics of Immigration Law.

DIWAN for Arts and Dialogue is a platform co-initiated by Fadwa Naamna, Hilda Moucharrafieh, Ehsan Fardjadniya, Margarita Osipian, and Emirhakin, and works in collaboration with the W139 artistic core group (2021-2023).

DIWAN for Arts and Dialogue aims at supporting young contemporary art and design practitioners, especially those in the diaspora, in the development of their projects and artistic practice. The platform’s foundational focus is to facilitate navigating the Dutch art scene for post-graduate artists and curators, and tackle the collective struggles of residency permits, housing, and project funding, amongst others. DIWAN departs from the common experiences of its founders and seeks to stimulate public discursive events and knowledge exchanges that relate to these issues.

DIWAN talks: First Event

This first DIWAN event is aimed at mapping and understanding the particular urgencies and issues that postgraduate artists and cultural workers confront in the first years after their graduation. This meeting is an invitation for people who are now in this position, or have been through it before, so that we can share these experiences in a collective setting. DIWAN is based on the belief that openly sharing and discussing can be effective tools to confront, deal with, and navigate such challenges. We invite everyone to take part in this online round table and to share their thoughts in this regard.

Throughout these events, we will strive to build a public database of common questions and issues that migrant art practitioners are confronted with, along with references and leads towards resolving them.

Tonight’s event will be co-moderated by Fadwa Naamna and Margarita Osipian.

Joining the conversation will be Hilda Moucharrafieh and Emirhakin. Image and Streaming: Ehsan Fardjadniya and Bob Schoo.

Due to the Covid-19 regulations, the event will be held online.

Note: If you want to just watch and listen to the event, without taking part by sharing your experiences or questions, or if you cannot connect to the Zoom link because of maximum capacity, please follow the W139 YouTube channel and Facebook page for live streaming.

WhyNot Festival 2020

For the tenth anniversary of WhyNot, they return to W139, the place where it all began, for an old school evening of dance, performance, music and art! The evening at W139 is curated in collaboration with Julidans, Vlaams Cultuurhuis de Brakke Grond, Veem House for Performance and Cinedans.

The festival program focuses on the body and architecture, on movement and boundaries. How do performance artists and choreographers see the role of the body in relation to taking, giving or defining space? What do boundaries, physical and cultural, mean for our freedom of movement? How much private space can we claim in a city that seems to be bursting at the seams, and in a world that seems to succumb to that pressure?

Programme

In the duration performance Relay by choreographer Ula Sickle (in collab. with Brakke Grond), a black flag – referring to the many protests worldwide – is kept in motion for hours on end in a fascinating test of endurance. In Spell Action # 1, installation and performance artist Rūta Butkutė examines how an object set within a spatial environment can have a guiding effect on other bodies. Clara Amaral (in collab. with Veem House for Performance) gives the W139 space an extra dimension with her screen performance In our eyes, a cascade.

Together with Julidans we present Resident, an intense performance about a man in his apartment by Dunja Jocic, who a.o. won the Dutch Dance Days Award in 2018. Especially for WhyNot, scenographer and designer Theun Mosk will explore the W139 space by working with the floor and intervening with materials, so that the public will move through the space automatically. Choreographer Fabienne Vegt made Scripted Space for three excellent dancers Chloé Albaret, César Faria Fernandes and Marne van Opstal (NDT 1), in which they recall movements and forms that were once written on their bodies. Accompanied by live music by Frank Rosaly (drums), Torbjorn Zetterberg (bass) and Cene Resnik (saxophone), the performance flows into a party with a dj set by sound artist Salvador Breed (co-curator Le Guess Who 2019), that will take us on a wandering journey through musical worlds.

Also on the program are Merce Cunningham’s film Assemblage (1968) in collab. with Cinedans, a dance and music improvisation, an immersive installation by Annika Kappner and talks by Esmee Geerken and BAU LAB!

To enter the dance floor well prepared we also have two dance workshops by Mirte Courtens and Katharina Conradi on Saturday for you to join.
