Travel Tales by Meris Angoletti 

Meris Angoletti decided to start a collaboration with several psychiatrists of the Van Gogh institute in Venray, in order to find information about 'dromomania' (or ambulatory automatism), a disease that forces people who suffer of it, to escape from the place they live and start long trips, of which, at the moment of their return, they don’t remember at all.

'Rose Marie' by Christel Boertjes 

For weeks I had seen her walking with her cart full of rubbish, dolls and books. Rose Marie lived on the streets of Bastia for the past 10 years. After a first staged introduction, I would often walk down her street.

European Pépinières program for young artists

Every three years the European Pépinières organisation launches a residency program for artists under 36 years old. The application is set up as an international competition. Laureates are offered a grant for a working period at residential art centers and art institutes throughout Europe and Québec in Canada.

The Pépinières residency program is set up in close collaboration with national, regional and municipal authorities. Host institutes are responsible for training and for the presentation of the artists' projects. The cities where the host institutes are located, offer the artists' accommodation.

Trans Artists is the coordinator for the Pépinières in the Netherlands

Currently 26 countries participate in the Pépinières program. Each country has a national coordinating organization, which is responsible for carrying out the program for its own country.

Congratulations to: Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, Etta Säfve and Emilie Gallier!
