March 27 – October 5, 2025 | Exhibition: Small Gestures, Big System | Rotterdam
The exhibition Small Gestures, Big System explores design and artistic practices that examine the current healthcare system with the aim of reimagining its future. The exhibition presents alternative perspectives on existing innovations and emerging changes in healthcare research, with the hope of restoring a sense of simple humanity to hospitals.
October 9, 2025 | Symposium 'Strengthening Through Culture: Sustaining Social-Artistic Collaborations' | Arnhem | NL
This symposium presents the results of a study by Amphion and Cultuurkust, led by Prof. Marcel Canoy (Vilans), which explores the societal value of their social-artistic projects and how this value can be linked to existing funding schemes. Since arts and culture contribute to social cohesion, self-reliance, and prevention, such initiatives may as well be eligible for financing beyond the cultural domain. The symposium offers a platform to exchange cross-sectoral knowledge and support the development of sustainable funding models for collaborations between cultural, healthcare, and welfare sectors.
