'You missed nothing about your father'

In Verstoten Vaders, Elena Lindemans impressively highlights a major, tucked-away social problem: of many tens of thousands of children who have to let go of one of their parents after a divorce. Elena: 'While making 'Wife Beats Husband' - a film about men who are victims of domestic violence - I came into contact with fathers who are abandoning their children - almost... 

Peppie & UBO: privacy concerns for business leaders and directors. (Why anti-money laundering policies can wreak havoc on culture)

Our government leaders, united in Europe, have come up with something to combat the masking of corruption. It is called UBO register. The Netherlands is also going to introduce it in the near future.

In the cultural sector, it is... 

Astrid Lindgren bleef altijd dat meisje van Näs

Tijdens haar leven ontving Astrid Lindgren bijna vijfenzeventigduizend brieven van fans van over de hele wereld. De schepper van eigenwijze personages als Pippi Langkous, de gebroeders Leeuwenhart en Ronja de Roversdochter, was zelf minstens zo eigenzinnig. Dat blijkt uit de omvangrijke biografie Deze dag, een leven. Terug naar Näs, waar Astrid Lindgren opgroeide en nog altijd voortleeft. Spelen, spelen, spelen… 

Voices Outside The Echo Chamber: we need exhibitions like this

Een tentoonstelling die onze blik op migratie en migranten centraal stelt, ons migratiebeleid kritisch bejegent, maar niet in makkelijk pamflettisme vervalt, dat is ‘Voices outside the echo chamber’. Vrijdag 29 april opende in de Tolhuistuin de expositie “Voices outside the echo chamber“– een expositie van Framer Framed, de Amsterdamse organisatie die al jaren de beeldtaal in onze kunsten bevraagt en becommentarieert. Immers,…

These are bleak times. A few days after the opening night of the Movies that Matter festival (MTM) in The Hague, the world was rocked by the attacks in Brussels. For an event that focuses on human rights issues, a sign that the violent consequences of international conflicts seem to be getting closer. This raises the question of whether an audience that is... 

José Eduardo Agualusa: 'I will not be silenced'

Writing cost him his marriage, he is being shadowed by the secret service and risks being arrested in Angola. But José Eduardo Agualusa, who has a chance of winning the 2016 Man Booker International Prize with his new novel A General Theory of Forgetting, does not hesitate to put down his pen. 'I won't let myself... 

The Impact of Art, fierce conclusion to three-day conference

How can you write about a three-day conference, part of which took place behind closed doors, the closing night of which looks very neat on vimeo, but where the tension in the room was palpable? With a completely open attitude and not much more background than an average newspaper reader, but with a firm belief in the power of the arts,...
