Send in your story by May 25
Are you a student with a story to tell? Let yourself be inspired by the powerful art of Magdalena Abakanowicz and take part in our writing contest! Her work touches on themes like identity, power, vulnerability, and the collective. Topics that are just as relevant today as ever.
Tell your story
Are you moved by art? The powerful works of Magdalena Abakanowicz bring up emotions and questions about who we are and how we relate to the world around us. Now is your chance to put those thoughts into words.
Write a short story, poem, or essay about what her art means to you. What do you see? What do you feel? What does it say about today’s world? Your perspective matters, and we’re excited to hear your voice.
And there’s something special to win!
Your work has a chance to be:
- Published on the websites of Het Noordbrabants Museum and the TextielMuseum
- Presented at an international symposium on June 12, attended by guests from politics, the arts and academia
- Performed on stage during a special museum evening on June 20, alongside Dutch Book Week poet Sholeh Rezazadeh
Want to join?
