Madness and Arts Festival 2010, Haarlem, Netherlands (deadline: 31 Jul)


The Madness & Arts Festival (MAF) is an international and
interdisciplinary festival on arts and madness, to be held in Haarlem, the
Netherlands in 2010. You are kindly invited to submit your projects for
consideration of the programme committee.

The MAF is specifically looking for music, theatre and dance performances
for the festival venues and smaller events/performances/presentations for
the festival camp.

What = MAF
The Madness & Arts Festival (MAF) is a reoccurring international and
interdisciplinary manifestation about art and madness, which will be held
in Haarlem, the Netherlands in 2010, after Toronto, Canada (2003) and
Münster, Germany (2006). The festival focuses on the interaction between
art and madness, through presentation of high quality art with an
international appeal. MAF gives stage to different perspectives from
people with and without a psychiatric background, artists, scientists and
the public. With an ambitious and inspiring programme of nationally and
internationally renowned artists and projects, MAF aims to bridge the gap
between art and its traditional audience, and various aspects of
psychiatry. MAF will be a compact, high quality festival with
international appeal.

MAF will take place from September 24th until October 3rd, 2010.

Who = MAF
MAF is organised by The Madness & Arts Foundation, artistic director Meta
Knol, and by festival bureau Deneuve Cultural Projects, in close
cooperation with the art institutes of Haarlem. Equally important is the
partnership with various Dutch organisations for mental health care (GGZ
InGeest, Roads, RIBW K/AM). With MAF the City of Haarlem will promote
itself as a city with a well-developed infrastructure for both culture and
mental health care. The City of Haarlem earlier adopted the regional
cultural festival ‘Kwartiermakersfestival’, that aimed to improve the
public perception of psychiatry (2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006).

Where = MAF

museums, pop institutes and other presentation platforms. The
participating institutes are (amongst others):

Frans Hals Museum /De Hallen
