During the first lockdown in 2020, as an extension of the monthly studio visit program, Stroom initiated the Digital Dialogues, in which artists from The Hague enter into online discussions with an interesting artist, writer or curator. You can now apply for a new round of Digital Dialogues, this month with Rosa Lleó, an independent curator based in Barcelona, who recently curated the exhibition YWY, Visions at 1646 in The Hague.

On Thursday 25 and Friday 26 February 2021 the curator Rosa Lleó will conduct talks via Zoom with artists in The Hague, about their  artistic practice.

Rosa describes her fields of interest as follows:
"Some projects I have curated, written about or researched in collaboration recently try to divert our attention from a unifying gaze and standard knowledge in many different ways. I've been trying not to be too conclusive, but willing to offer spaces of imagination and critical thinking away of hyper neoliberal production and closer to our natural rhythms of life. Some works that I am looking at right now search a poetic or unusual way to address urgent and current issues such as ecology, omitted histories, or stories about music, desire, love and care."

About Digital Dialogues
On a monthly basis Stroom invites curators, artists and critics from The Netherlands and abroad to visit the studios of artists in The Hague. These studio vistis offer an opportunity for artists to present their work and receive contructive feedback on their practice. The program also aims is to strengthen and broaden the artists' network. 

Due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus the monthly studio visit program is temporarily halted, while the need for feedback remains undiminished. Instead of physical studio visits Stroom offers an alternative in the form of the Digital Dialogues program.
