  1. Our History: Three Documentaries

    Molli Chaoot, Friday, September 18 at 07:00 PM GMT+2

    Our History: Three Documentaries. This autumn, we are doing a documentary series of three films about recent memory from below. Protests in Amsterdam, persecution of communists in Indonesia, and the clandestine party scene.

    Join us for a dinner, documentary screening, and open conversations!

    The first film will be De Rebelse Stad (The Rebellious City), food will be served at 19h, and we will start the film at 20h, followed by discussion.

    De rebelse stad (2015)

    (Dutch, subtitled English)

    One of the most remarkable protest movements in Dutch history emerged in 60's Amsterdam: the provo's. With their "playful actions" (ludieke acties) they didn't just expose police violence and the authoritarian city government, they also expanded the horizon of the possible. With their "white bikes plan", for example, they placed bikes all around the city, free for everyone to use and to share. With these symbolic actions, they galvanised the youth movements of the 60's and left a huge impact on Dutch society. "De rebelse stad" shows unique footage, helping us understand how a movement of that lasted just two years was able to shift the Dutch political horizon so quickly.

  2. Moor Mother w/ Aquiles Navarro & Olof Melander + James McClure & Joao Guerra

    OCCII, Thursday, June 4 at 08:30 PM GMT+2

    SPACEIS THE PLACE:: “Moor Mother live at OCCII” Moor Mother w/ Aquiles Navarro & Olof Melander + James McClure / Joao Guerra Duo

    Surprise gig! Moor Mother plays live at OCCII (Amsterdam), backed up by her musical soulmates Aquiles Navarro and Olof Melander! Expect the unexpected: new work, improv, and a selection from Moor Mother’s rich oeuvre.

    Opening: James McClure & João Guerra

    Vocalist and poet Camae Ayewa aka Moor Mother describes her music as “low fi/dark rap/blk girl blues/witch rap/coffee shop riot gurl songs/black ghost songs”. Her vast discography meanders adventurously between jazz, hip hop, and noise, with records under her own name, under the moniker 700 Bliss (with DJ Haram), or in collaborations with Irreversible Entanglements, the avant-metal band SUMAC, and many more.

    Recently, Moor Mother has moved toward a more melodic and song-oriented approach, while still blending spoken word, experimental jazz, electronics, and radical poetry. Her album Jazz Codes (2023) draws from her poetry project and pays tribute to jazz visionaries such as Woody Shaw and Mary Lou Williams, combining layered vocals, atmospheric production, and free-form improvisation in collaboration with Swedish producer Olof Melander. On her latest full length album The Great Bailout (2024), she expands this cinematic and haunting sound into a powerful meditation on colonial history, displacement, and collective memory, moving between tenderness, noise, jazz abstraction, and poetic storytelling.

    Internationally renowned trumpeter Aquiles Navarro — also her bandmate in Irreversible Entanglements and multi-faceted artist in his own right— contributed to Jazz Codes as well as Circuit City and Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes, and later collaborated with Melander on the album Tangles (2024).
