Oerol Festival (8-16 Juni)

admin

Oerol, opgericht in 1981 door Joop Mulder, is een jaarlijks terugkerend tiendaags locatiekunstenfestival op Terschelling. Het is een ontmoetingspunt waar diverse perspectieven en generaties samenkomen, verbindend en betekenisvol voor een breed (internationaal) netwerk.

Het festival trekt jaarlijks ongeveer 50.000 bezoekers en biedt ruimte voor zowel premières van gevestigde groepen als experimentele werken van jonge makers. Met een gevarieerde programmering van ongeveer 25 locatievoorstellingen, straattheater, muziek, beeldende kunst, storytelling, talks en verdieping, biedt Oerol een rijke ervaring aan makers, professionals, eilandbewoners, partners en bezoekers.

Makers presenteren werk, ideeën en wilde gedachten die op andere plekken geen ruimte krijgen. Voor bezoekers is de diversiteit aan kunstdisciplines en de stapeling van ervaringen ongekend. Tegelijkertijd vinden we een nog groter publiek via brede media-aandacht, recensies en het uitgebreide professionals netwerk dat acte de présence geeft op het internationale showcasefestival dat Oerol ook is.

Curations: Angels

admin

Angels are surprisingly common in our culture, in songs, literature and in art.
All types of angels are depicted in art – guardian,fallen,avenging, messengers etc.

They are depicted in sculpture and paint in every size imaginable – from tiny painted angels in the pages of medieval books of hours to the huge looming modern sculpture The Angel of the North.

The first winged Christian angel dates from the 4th century. Winged creatures and gods such as Pegasus, Eros and of course Nike may have inspired the winged angel.

What Is Art Therapy?

admin

The use of artistic methods to treat psychological disorders and enhance mental health is known as art therapy. Art therapy is a technique rooted in the idea that creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being.1

Van Lith T. Art therapy in mental health: A systematic review of approaches and practices. The Arts in Psychotherapy. 2016;47:9-22. doi:10.1016/j.aip.2015.09.003

People have been relying on the arts for communication, self-expression, and healing for thousands of years. But art therapy didn’t start to become a formal program until the 1940s.2

Doctors noted that individuals living with mental illness often expressed themselves in drawings and other artworks, which led many to explore the use of art as a healing strategy.3 Since then, art has become an important part of the therapeutic field and is used in some assessment and treatment techniques.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

admin

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles).

BBC – ‘You can achieve, no matter how your brain works’

admin

A neurodivergent cyclist has said she hopes to show that “no matter how your brain works” you can achieve “amazing” things.

Connie Hayes, from Leytonstone, east London, is riding as part of the semi-professional women’s team Doltcini O’Shea in the Ford RideLondon Classique.

The three-stage race began in Essex on Friday and finishes in central London on Sunday.

The 23-year-old, who has dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism, described cycling as a “complete lifeline” for her.

Hermann Hesse

admin

Hermann Karl Hesse (German: [ˈhɛʁman ˈhɛsə] ⓘ; 2 July 1877 – 9 August 1962) was a German-Swiss poet, novelist, and painter. Although Hesse was born in Germany’s Black Forest region of Swabia, his father’s celebrated heritage as a Baltic German and his grandmother’s French-Swiss roots had an intellectual influence on him. He was a precocious, if not difficult child, who shared a passion for poetry and music with his mother, and was especially well-read and cultured, due in part to the influence of his polyglot grandfather.

We proudly welcome Lin to the Art Brut Collective!

She’s a well-rounded artist in various disciplines and highly versatile. With years of experience in Art and a Master’s Degree in International Environmental Law, she’s a most welcome addition to the Collective. Originally from Amsterdam, she is bright, enthusiastic, hardworking, disciplined, and an advocate of sustainability.

She specializes in paintings with the ambition to work on a large canvas in the future, she’s prospecting, that’s all we know but we are excited here at the Art Brut Collective. For now, she is focused on her career and personal life. With hobbies like sports and gardening, she keeps herself fit and relaxed, we envy her.

Though reluctant about the phrasing of our Art and hesitant to become a participant in the Art Brut Collective, she joined anyway. We more or less consider her our Patroness.
