About Human Activities

Human Activities, founded by artist Renzo Martens, aims to redress inequality through art—not symbolically, but materially. Based in Amsterdam, we operate internationally, collaborating with CATPC, the art collective of plantation workers. Through the proceeds from their art, CATPC buys back depleted plantation land to restore it. This year, CATPC and Renzo Martens provided the Dutch entry at the Venice Biennale. Over the coming years, we will undertake a national and international program of exhibitions, films, education, and land restoration, while developing a new participatory art platform in the province of Zeeland.

We Are Looking For:

  • A strong connection to the mission of Human Activities.
  • A digital native with knowledge of the latest trends in communication.

  • Excellent command of English; proficiency in French is a plus.
  • Ambition and an academic level of thinking and working.
  • A hands-on, accurate approach with a proactive mindset.
