Open Call – application deadline

For Hamburger Community 2025-2026, Roodkapje invites interdisciplinary artists (visual artists, musicians, performers, theatermakers, designers) to our laboratory for collaborative practice, collective fun and direct interaction between artists and audience. Are you looking to dive into an experiment involving four collaborators, several mentors and a place full of dynamic possibilities?

The Hamburger Community are five artists in residence that collaborate for 9 months to develop a series of Happenings together. They do so collectively, guided by mentors and by inviting in other collaborators. At Roodkapje we believe collaboration is a muscle that needs to be trained. The residency depends on collectivity for all artistic, organizational and public matters. Production budgets, conceptual development, program planning and mentor trajectories are managed and decided on together. Aside from collaborating with each other, the Hamburger Community also collaborates with Roodkapje’s team, who offer concept, production, financial and communication support. Residents of the Hamburger Community get access to Roodkapje’s collective working space and communal living room, a monthly stipend, production budget(s) and free access to all of Roodkapje’s program.
