Kaneta Ten Vos was created on May 18, 2024, as a space to celebrate artistic expression in all its forms—especially poetry, spoken word, and storytelling, while also embracing painting, dramatization, and more.

In just one year, Kaneta Ten Vos has already traveled beyond borders—reaching Cape Verde and the Netherlands—bringing its spirit of creativity and community wherever it goes. Its recent one-year anniversary is a testament to the power of art to connect, inspire, and move across cultures.

Honorees this year include: Chumpa – Lino Lopes, Míchiko B Andrade, Thairo Kosta, and Djofa Tavares.
