photographer | artist | writer

Jan Hoek (1984) is an artist and writer. In his work he is always attracted to the beauty of outsiders worldwide and always keen to collaborate intensively with people that normally are overlooked and create together a new image. In the universe of Hoek the ‘normal’ people are the strangers and the outsiders are the funky rulers of this planet. Jan is also the founder of Outsiderland, a cultural space that connects the world of so called “outsider artists” for example with down syndrome or a homeless background and the most unique artists from the “regular” art world.

Jan Hoek is member of the Pride Photo Jury 2022 as well as curator of the Pride Photo Exhibition 2022, together with Simomo Boujarra.
