Art is our first language. Even while we are closed for renovations, our programming continues. You will find our art programmes at off-site locations throughout the year and on the digital platform The Couch. The permanent installations in Het HEM will remain open to the public after the renovation.
Our music programme focuses on experimental ways of making, presenting and experiencing sound in the building through listening sessions, live performances and musical artist-in-residence programmes. During renovations, we organise music programmes at off-site locations and on the digital platform The Couch.
Het HEM loves books. During your visit, come lose yourself in the library's rich selection.
The building's industrial design and our experimental art programme bring ambience and meaning to every event.
Situated in a former munitions factory, Het HEM is a new home for contemporary culture.
During the get-togethers, Het HEM community comes together with the creative people of the Homebase programme. In these meetings the current state of affairs is discussed, new ideas are pitched and there is room for feedback from the community. For the Q&As, guest artists/entrepreneurs/artists who have a connection or collaboration with HEM are invited. By combining the communities of Het HEM with Homebase we build a bridge between the creatives from Amsterdam & the Zaanstreek. These get-togethers take place in the Homebase Area in Het HEM every so often on a Saturday afternoon, there is room for a maximum of 20 people. Do you also have a good idea? Do you want to support or would you like to be present at a get-together, please contact project manager Boga Barbosa via info@hethem.nl
