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.
Since 2021, musicians and music researchers are invited for a 1-to-2 month work and/or research period at Het HEM to work on and ultimately present, new and interdisciplinary projects that further explores the depth of their practice. So far Thessa Torsing, Elias Mazian, Tutto Questo Sentire and Parrish Smith have worked on developing new projects in collaboration with several artists from other disciplines.
