Maartje Terpstra (1995) is a writer, (literary) artist and arts- and cultural theorist. She writes poems, columns, art criticism and other stuff. With performances as language exercises and rituals Maartje researches the power and materiality of language. Furthermore, she focusses on the relation between speaker, text and recipient. Presentations of her work have taken place during Bosk by Arcadia, Dichters in de Prinsentuin, Docu Donna, Explore the North and at DIHAN (Nov 10th). She has been nominated twice for Hendrik de Vriesstipendium for Literature with interdisciplinary literary projects that are averse to rules and boundaries and she’s connected to literary organization NOORDWOORD.

Maria Barnas, writer, poet and visual artist, about the work of Maartje: Terpstra brings attention to the question – to which extent do we serve laguage? She shows that art does not allways have to lead up to an end product, but it can also be a way of though, a method. […] No needless posturing but straight forward. […] Poetry tumbling with the love of language and imagery. […] Firm but at the same time playfull and inviting.
