Critical reflection on timely issues through curated exhibitions, theoretical and educational programs and a bold publishing arm is core to the institution's mission.
The question of how to define the institution’s role in relation to developments in contemporary art is continually revisited, with every Director and her team making their mark, every 3-6 years. As such, Witte de With's programs continue to provide access to diverse practices on an ongoing basis and consider how not only contemporary art, but also an institution, is represented and perceived by diverse audiences today.
