Netherlands Winterschool on Narrative Narrative and the Arts

“Art disrupts, narrative connects—together, they can transform.”

Narratives can train empathy, shape identities, and imagine alternative worlds—but also risk reinforcing dominant ideologies and inequalities when used uncritically. The arts, likewise, hold potential for both resistance and complicity. What emerges when we bring them together—across genres, disciplines, and research practices?

Come join us for inspiring lectures, hands-on workshops, experiential exercises, and a collaborative project!

Participants from the humanities, social, behavioral, and technological sciences are invited to critically and creatively explore the interplay of narrative and the arts in relation to their own research, design, and practice. The winter school is especially designed for PhDs and early career researchers interested in the study of narrative, as well as professionals interested in storytelling.
