An Evening with Steve McQueen at Fenix

The Praemium Erasmianum Foundation has awarded the 2026 Erasmus Prize to artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen (1969). The theme of this year’s Prize is Ecce Homo, Behold the Human Being. McQueen is known for exploring who we are in moments of vulnerability, how we treat each other, and how history shapes our present, without judgment nor fear of moral complexity.  

On Friday 13 November Dana Linssen will speak with Steve McQueen about his vast body of work centering on art practice and film making, and how history shapes our present. The evening is accompanied musically with Dumama, a nomadic "future folk" musician and performer from South Africa. Held at Fenix in Rotterdam.
