Homebase connects the worlds of young multidisciplinary makers from Zaanstad with the works and artists of Het HEM. While Het HEM functions as a cultural meeting place for inspiration and creation, the Homebase members bring a new generation of contemporary artists to the building who are not yet familiar with Het HEM. Participants have their own space in Het HEM where they organise their own programmes and meetings. The aim is to support the creative community of Zaanstad by offering young artists a space and the opportunity to express new forms of contemporary art.
The group is working towards two moments when they will share their vision and creations with the public: Homebase Connects on October 29, 2021 and a Homebase festival in the summer of 2022. As a concept creator connected to CNCPT collective, Ella John is contributing to the development of Homebase. Giovanni Tuinfort, Enrique Rivera and Boga Barbosa support Ella in setting up the programme, recruiting participants and creating content for the communication about Homebase. Together they function as the core of Homebase.

Homebase Podcast
First Video.
Episode 1
Under the credo of “Each One Teach One”, Homebase members organise a series of conversations with makers from the creative industry from whom they want to learn about topics such as social media, PR, project management and personal growth. These conversations are hosted by Ahmed Mazel and Ella John and recorded as live video podcasts which will be released monthly from the end of 2021 via Het HEM's YouTube channel. Homebase members are present during the recordings to follow the live conversation and to talk with the guests afterwards.
