Kunstfort Vijfhuizen
Sunday 23 November
14:00–16:00, followed by savoury tulip-bulb biscuits and tea to warm up together

We invite you to join a communal planting moment with artist Carlos Noronha Feio on Sunday 23 November at Kunstfort Vijfhuizen. Together, we will plant tulip bulbs in the letters of the previously excavated word ‘HELING’ (“HEALING”). Everyone is welcome to take part!

The planting not only marks the start of an outdoor artwork made with tulips, but is also a symbolic act of healing, collaboration, and cultural cross-pollination. Together, we shape a process that embraces the seasons and invites new meanings and encounters. Come and join in, and experience how language, culture, and nature intertwine in a poetic gesture of togetherness. This spring, the growing and blooming artwork will be visible from afar!

The Portuguese artist Carlos Noronha Feio explores layers of identity, language, and cultural exchange in his work. His practice often moves between the personal and the collective, between history and the future. In February, Carlos was artist-in-residence at the Kunstfort as part of Contested Desires, Constructive Dialogues (CDCD), a multi-year international project with a residency programme. In the Netherlands, this is organised by H401, Creative Court, and Kunstfort Vijfhuizen.
