 Award ceremony

Keep an Eye Photography Stipends

The award ceremony of the Keep an Eye Photography Stipends takes place on 1 July 2022, during the graduation festival Exposure. The same evening, BAK hosts the opening of the graduation exhibition UPSCALING/DOWNSIZING, showcasing the work of students graduating from the Photography program at the University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU). 

The stipends are awarded as a means to support and give financial incentive to graduates who work with the medium of photography immediately after graduating. This way, they contribute to the profiling as a creator or beginning artist, and makes it possible for the graduates to, with coaching, settle in a suitable field of practice.  

The winners receive a monetary amount of €10.000,-, of which €2.500,- is reserved for coaching. Students of the programs Photography and Fine Art are eligible for the stipend, as long as photography is an essential part of their graduation project. This prize is made possible by the Keep an Eye Foundation. This foundation supports beginning and talented artists by offering them a springboard or stage to a bigger audience. 

You can register to attend the awards ceremony here.

BAK, basis voor de actuele kunst, Utrecht

Opening:
Friday 1 July 2022, 17.00–⁠19.00 (followed by the opening of UPSCALING/DOWNSCALING: Graduation Exhibition HKU Photography)

Complaint Making: Setting Up Conflict-Positive Spaces for Community Building Praxis

Vishnu would like to share feminist governance tools (FGT) focused on three of many tiers in community building praxis. FGT is based on the values of equity with an emphasis on creating psychologically safe environments, drawing on the use of consent. Decision-making processes, setting up conflict-positive spaces, and complaint-making as diversity work will form the body of this three-day training. Rooted in Vishnu’s autho-ethnographic practice, this work will explore the power dynamics that impact decision-making processes.

Too Late To Say Sorry? 

A bad apology can ruin a friendship, destroy a community, or end a career. In this workshop, we will investigate the impact of apologies on our relationships and our worlds. Why and how do we make apologies? What can giving and receiving apologies teach us about values and integrity? Should you apologize for something you don’t really feel sorry for? We will explore conflict and how we like to be in conflict with others. We will dive into our own boundaries. We will seek to understand how honoring limits becomes an act of building (or freeing) better worlds capable of holding so many, many more of us.

Huisje, Boompje, Beestje (D.A.F.O.N.T.)

In this rare masterclass, retired teacher and artist Glenda Martinus teaches participants a thing or two about painting with Microsoft Word. Martinus shares tips, tricks, and secrets on how to use this software to its unexpected potential as a drawing tool. Participants learn how to draw three basic objects—a house, a tree, and an animal—in a seemingly innocent exercise that perhaps contains more layered social commentary. Drawing the worlds we desire does not require expensive tools or education, simply a curiosity to understand how the monster’s tools can topple the house of the master.
