Tribunes in the City

The Waiting Man

Until the end of 2024, Collective SLPLZN will explore the diverse facets of humanity in collaboration with you. Over the next few months, SLPLZN will shine a spotlight on the waiting individual. From the stands, you observe the visible waiting at a traffic light, bus stop, or bakery. The invisible waiting unfolds in a theatrical setting. What is the experience of waiting for that pivotal phone call, and what does it entail to await the proper documents as an undocumented person?

In 2024, our focus turns to the hopeful person, the forgotten person, the celebrating person, and ultimately the absent person. Each theme will be examined through various mediums, including stands, performances, installations, and theatrical dinners where you can be both a spectator and a participant. Explore the program and dates on the Collective SLPLZN website.

Amsterdam 750

Stichting Amsterdam 750 encourages residents of Amsterdam and Weesp to think of a gift for the city and thus contribute to this special birthday. Applications qualify for a subsidy of up to €50,000, just like Tribunes in de Stad. Do you have an idea? Then, see how you can apply for a subsidy.
