Stad Voor Makers: Tilt
Tilburg is a breeding ground for creative talent. That soil is created by our vibrant makerscene, but also by the facilities in the city that contribute to an excellent production climate. And those facilities we like to highlight for you!
The Tilburg literary production house Tilt brings language to life in various forms; from books to podcasts and from theater to graphic novels. Central to everything Tilt does, is the power of meaningful encounters: between makers, between makers and locations, and between makers and their audiences. Tilt believes that new stories arise when different worlds intersect and therefore creates an environment in which new insights and perspectives can be shared. They do this by organizing author residencies, programs and festivals, among other things.
Straat op Tilt
A great example of this power of connection is the “Straat on Tilt” project. In collaboration with Ateliers Tilburg, Tilt pairs young writers with local artists, who together create a special pop-up experience in one day. These pop-ups can be experienced in downtown Tilburg on Saturday, March 22. In keeping with Boekenweek, Gianotten Mutsaers will be the heart of the pop-ups.
Tilt Festival
Tilt also hosts the annual Tilt Festival, a festival for anyone who enjoys exploring, experimenting, venturing off the beaten path and being open to questioning their own thinking. Collaboration between makers, partners and an open mind are also at the forefront of Tilt Festival programming! For the opening of the festival, for example, makers can apply for the opening performance “Being Adriaan van Dis. The open call can be found on Tilt's Instagram page.
This year's festival will take place on May 17, bringing the Tilt Festival to Tilburg's bustling Spoorzone for the first time. Tickets go on sale starting March 22! Want to know more about what Tilt is, makes and does? Check out the website www.tilt.nu
