After two years at HMK, our Creative Director, Miriam Wistreich, is heading for new adventures as Director of UKS, Oslo, starting from February 15, 2021. During her time at HMK, Wistreich guided HMK through a transition period, reorganising HMK through the year programme Slow Burn, co-conceived with artists Maja Bekan and Griet Menschaert. 

On Saturday, FvD leader Thierry Baudet placed flowers at the foot of the statue of Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1587-1629) in celebration of “his hero”. Although there should be room for different voices to speak up, we do not find the racist and horrific actions of the past heroic. We are in support of the removal of the statue of Coen and will be participating in the peaceful demonstration tomorrow evening (19 June, 19.00, Roode Steen, Hoorn).

Apply now for a six-week residency or one-year residency for HMK’s 2021 year programme ‘On Shelter’. Deadline is 25 May 2020.

We’ve taken time to reflect and have decided that HMK will remain closed until 4 June, due to the recent developments concerning the Covid-19 pandemic.
