Open Calls
Nieuwe Instituut issues several open calls a year. These are invitations to individuals and collectives outside the organisation to contribute to the institute’s activities, for example with a research proposal, fellowship, guest essay or artwork. All the calls are listed here in a regularly updated overview.
