Poetics of Resistance is an emerging discursive and artistic sphere for practices that intervene quietly yet incisively in the fabric of everyday life. It invites practitioners who believe in subtle disruptions, shared agency, and imaginative counter-practices. Join a programme that forges new spaces of possibility – out in the neighbourhood, within a self-organized cultural space, and through ongoing discussion formats.
Poetics of Resistance is a programme series that will take place between 2026 and 2027.
Hosted at Make-up e.V., the programme includes a reading group, summer school, and an exhibition, besides talks with guests and performances.
We are looking for a bookkeeper to manage the finance of the programming series throughout both years. The bookkeeper will take care of invoicing and contracts, reimbursements, and financial reports to grantmakers, besides monitoring expenses throughout the project.
