Poetry in Public: A New Collaboration with Ellen Deckwitz

We’re excited to announce a new collaboration with Ellen Deckwitz — acclaimed poet, columnist for NRC, current city poet of Amsterdam, and recipient of the prestigious Italian Premio Ciampi for her collection Hogere Natuurkunde. Her work is known for its clarity, wit, and emotional depth, and now, for the first time, it’s being brought into a completely new context: the Poem Booth.

The presentation took place in February, marking the 250th anniversary of the iconic Romantic painter’s birth. The small-scale outdoor exhibition explored the legacy of Friedrich’s work and its ongoing relevance today.
