Sickhouse is re-opening in early 2026! :) After two years of nomadic programming, the question of physical space took a new meaning for the team, the artists and the community around Sickhouse. In a rapidly changing city like Enschede, with initiatives like 

, we realize that space is much more than a building, it’s political, social and cultural. Who has space? Who needs more space? What is a safe space? How do we relate to both physical and online spaces? And what does space mean?

This call is to invite an artist to reflect on and engage with these themes. We want to encourage the community to dream together about what space means to them, what they have, what they need, and what they can share.




We are looking for an artist whose playful practice involves community to critically engage with social challenges. From video games to role play, from rule setting to world building, from online channels to hybrid performances, we are looking for an artist able to collaborate with a local community in a reflection about space. The process, the collective sessions, the engagement of the people involved will be central to the project. You should be comfortable working with diverse communities and institutions and open to collaborating with others.
