A plea for imagination

On Monday the 25th of November the Antwerp arts students gathered in the Conservatoire for an action meeting concerning the budget cuts in the cultural sector, more specifically the cuts in the project funding. Media, writing and performance art student Anke Verschueren held an open plea for imagination:

"Good afternoon. My name is Anke, I study Woordkunst (hard to translate, something like wordart) and I will try to give you a clear overview of what is going on. But not before I tell you a little personal story first, I’m a Wordart-student after all.

About the savings on the project grants

The Schools of Arts of AP Hogeschool are concerned about the proposed cultural savings of the Flemish government. A government that makes savings in this way, intervenes in the excellence of our arts and in the future of the sector. In particular, the drastic reduction in project subsidies has important consequences for the opportunities for young artists in Flanders.

About Noorderlicht 2019

One year a parade, the other year a happening. This is the pattern that Noorderlicht has been following since 2016. In 2018, at the invitation of the AP Hogeschool and the district of Antwerp, some 750 people formed the luminous and colourful parade that travels from South to North in the multicultural district of 2060 Antwerp. So 2019 is 'the other year'. On Thursday 28 November 2019 you can expect to see a unique neighbourhood project again.
