Open Call: The 2nd Nieuwstraat Festival

Open Call:

The 2nd Nieuwstraat Festival will take place on an undisclosed day in May, 2021, between sunrise and sunset. The performances will be carried out by volunteers, unannounced and without explanation. The performances take place in an everyday environment and hide the unusual within the usual. Passers-by will observe the actions, but may not recognise them as performance art.

Please describe your concept in a clear and accessible language, more or less as a manual. The performances will be carried out by (often unexperienced) volunteers.
Don’t forget to mention the preferred time of the day (in relation to the opening and closing of shops, outdoor cafes, the fruit/vegetable-market).
We can only accept your submission if you include links to a website or page with some information about your practice.

Please send your submission to [email protected].
Deadline: Monday, 1 February 2021, 23:59 (CET).
