Open Call: Sint Maarten Parade
BAK Community Portal presents a series of public workshops to create a moving sculpture as part of the Sint Maarten (Saint Martin) parade in Utrecht.
This open call is closed now.
Collective performance
BAK Community Portal presents… a series of hands-on puppet making, storytelling, and protest chant public workshops entitled If Another Storm Comes, We Will Be Ready, building towards a collective performance for the Sint Maarten parade in Utrecht.
This year, the annual parade through the historical town centre is organized by Sharing Arts Society as the closing celebration of ‘Utrecht 900’—the city’s 900-year anniversary. Moving, lit sculptures are carried in procession by their makers, supported by orchestras, choirs, dancers and other theatrical acts.

Three collectives
BAK has invited three collectives to create a moving performance for the parade during a series of public workshops: Linangan, a Filipino arts and culture network for political solidarity; Migrante Netherlands, an international migrant rights organization for migrants from the Philippines; and Espacio Estamos Bien, a nomadic cultural space run by Chilean artist Francisca Khamis and Colombian artist Mariana Jurado Rico.
The workshops take the (visual and sonic) languages of social movements from the Philippines, Colombia, and Chile as a starting point, welcoming participants to add their own layers of personal and political experience.
