Artist Inderjeet Sandhu at Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar 

Exhibition HuisRAAD shows where the political and the personal meet

Alkmaar, July 20, 2026 – Alkmaar-based visual artist Inderjeet Sandhu will receive the Victoriefonds Culture Prize for Visual Arts 2026 in October 2026. On the occasion of this special award, Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar is presenting the exhibition HuisRAAD, featuring a selection of his work. The exhibition can be seen through November 8, 2026. 

The house as a mirror of society 
Inderjeet Sandhu (1986) moves in his work between art, design, and social issues. The home serves as a recurring starting point in this. For Sandhu, the home is not only a place of shelter and safety, but also a place where personal memories, identity, and world history intersect. 

By giving everyday objects new meaning, Sandhu invites visitors to look at the world around them differently. His work touches upon themes such as origin, cultural adaptation, migration, and the ongoing impact of the colonial past on daily life. 

Victory Fund Prize for Visual Arts
The Victoriefonds Culture Prize for Visual Arts honors a regional artist who has developed in an extraordinary way and makes a valuable contribution to the visual arts. The HuisRAAD exhibition is a wonderful tribute to Sandhu's oeuvre and offers visitors the opportunity to experience his work up close. 

Practical information 
The exhibition HuisRAAD can be seen from June 26 to November 8, 2026 at Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar. The exhibition is made possible in part by the Alkmaar Region Culture Prize Foundation and Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar.
