Residencies

As part of the talent development programme, VOX-POP offers two yearly student residencies for students or recent graduates with work experience who want to create their own programme series. This year, we work together with Mohamed El-Hirech en Lola Abbas
Student in residence at VOX-POP

Students-in-residence develop their own programme series in VOX-POP. In their programmes, they delve deeper into a particular theme and bring together different perspectives. To facilitate their work, they receive a flat fee, a programme budget and guidance for the content and production of the events. If necessary, they can raise additional funds themselves. To organize a programme at VOX-POP, it should make connections between everyday life and the humanities, involve communities from around the city, and highlight innovative perspectives on the topic at hand. Are you curious? Submit your idea via voxpop@uva.nl and perhaps you will be our next student-in-residence!

Mohamed El-Hirech presents: Heritage and Horizon
Herkomst en Horizon is a project curated by student resident Mohamed El-Hirech. Drawing on his own Moroccan-Dutch background, Mohamed explores themes such as migration, cultural heritage, diaspora and layered identities. Through an exhibition and accompanying programme, Herkomst en Horizon brings together different art forms and perspectives, creating space for connection, recognition and new conversations about what it means to feel at home.
Lola Abbas presents: Fragments of Being
Fragments of Being is a programme series curated by student resident Lola Abbas. In her work, Lola explores the intersections between identity formation, belonging and contemporary popular culture. Inspired by the practices of sampling and reproduction in music, she examines how young people draw on elements of music, fashion and internet culture to shape their identities. Through Fragments of Being, Lola creates a space for artistic experimentation and reflection on self-expression, subcultures and the fragments that make up our identities.
