The Supervisory Board of de Appel is pleased to announce the extension of Artistic Director Lara Khaldi’s contract for an additional three years, affirming its confidence in her collective work with the team and the institution’s continued relevance as a vital site for critical, translocal, and context driven artistic practice.

de Appel invites proposals for performances that explore play as a critical practice for adults. Moving beyond childhood, which the exhibition CaccHho CucchhA by Mercedes Azpilicueta engages with, this programme looks at play as a state of mind rather than an age-bound activity. As a space where adults can unlearn, improvise, and inhabit new forms of collectivity.
