Book Launch and Workshop: Radical Quilting by Dyke March Amsterdam

Framer Framed, Thursday, June 4 at 06:00 PM GMT+2

In preparation for the Dyke March 2026, a group of volunteers – the ‘DIY Dykes’ – quilted a banner to carry during the march. For a couple of months, the group met once a week, working on their 30x30cm panel, using a decorative technique of their choice.

With so many people quilting, crocheting, knitting and sewing radically, why is it that fiber arts are still often tied to traditional gender roles? In the publication Radical Quilting, the authors show how to do fiber arts outside of heteronormativity and at different intersections. The quilting is radical: the 2024 Dyke March banner is a token of their dedication to the community and mutual aid in spite of gentrification, and above all, an example of their subversion of gendered expectations in fiber arts.

Sign up here. Feel free to bring your fiber work in progress along!

In the same space where the event takes place, Framer Framed is currently hosting the Threads of our Dutch Slavery Past project. Before the event, and every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, participants are welcome to join the creation of a tapestry bringing together stories, perspectives and histories. Sign up here to work on this project.

This event is in English. Admission is free, pay what you can. Do you also think art should be free and accessible? Please consider supporting us with a donation when registering or by becoming a Framer Framed Friend!

Framer Framed is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science; Amsterdam Fund for the Arts; Municipality of Amsterdam; and VriendenLoterij Fonds.

Book Fair: Notes to Other Futures

Framer Framed, Saturday, May 23 at 11:00 AM GMT+2

We view publishing as a means of sharing resources, thinking collectively and focusing on the accessibility of ideas as well as the final product. So for this book fair, we’re also hosting many collectives, artists, activists and independent publishers who contribute to a rich culture of subversive publishing and engage with urgent topics at the intersection of research, politics, art and culture.

Everyone is welcome; admission is free.
We invite friends, local residents, authors, designers, translators, artists, collectives, activists, and independent publishers to discover new books and connect with peers.

On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of Framer Framed we take the opportunity to present a new publication: Notes to Other Futures: Fifteen Years of Framer Framed. This anthology explores the ongoing development of alternative practices at Framer Framed and the continuous engagement in radical pedagogy, community organising and collaborative exhibition-making – re-examining history from a multiplicity of perspectives.

In the last fifteen years, long-standing norms such as the autonomy of art, the neutrality of exhibition spaces, and the hegemony of Western art history have been increasingly questioned. This has been sparked by protest movements, shifts in academic discourse, and the amplified voices of communities long excluded from cultural institutions. In response, artistic and curatorial approaches have emerged that foreground relationality and re-examine history from a multiplicity of perspectives.

Notes to Other Futures (2026) reflects a commitment to work towards possible futures: ones imagined collectively, embedded in solidarity and open to transformation. It explores the ways of working, remembering, and acting that shape the continuous learning and becoming of a cultural organisation firmly rooted in society.

In the spirit of this approach, we’ve invited old friends, long-time collaborators, admired peers and future friends to share their own books and publishing practices. Throughout the day, you can visit the stands of each publisher, enjoy food and drinks provided by The Migrant Kitchen & Het Rode Keukentje, and join for the book presentation and anniversary party.

There will also be the chance to update your old T-shirts, jackets or bags with a screen-printing session! Drop off your choice of textile before 14:00 and choose one of four Framer Framed related designs. It is also possible to buy a plain tote bag to print. The printing is free, but donations are welcome.

This presentation is also a moment to thank all our collaborators and visitors for their support over the years. We hope to welcome you to Framer Framed again – or for the very first time – on Saturday 23 May 2026, 11:00-20:00.

Pre-order the publication Notes to Other Futures here.

Workshop: Breath & Breeze – by HumDrumPress

Framer Framed, Saturday, May 23 at 02:00 PM GMT+2

For this Open Book, artist Mirjam Linschooten and researcher Skye Maule-O’Brien share their upcoming publication, Breath & Breeze: Tongueless Whispers of the Wind. This project looks at the wind, wind technology, and the Dutch colonial footprint in Barbados and Curaçao. Visitors of the book fair are invited to critically question the historical and cultural significance of wind in the Netherlands and the Caribbean. What can the wind expose about historical power relations and ongoing colonial structures?

Places are limited so please register for the Open Book here.

Mirjam Linschooten is a Dutch visual artist based in Amsterdam. Her multidisciplinary practice spans publication, film, installation, photography, collage, and writing. Often working collaboratively, she explores the visible and hidden legacies of colonial histories. By questioning how memory and history are shaped, her work offers alternative viewpoints, counter-narratives, and space for critical reflection. Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including CBK Zuidoost (Amsterdam), Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (Leiden), De Appel (Amsterdam), Stroom Den Haag, Cemeti Institute for Art and Society (Yogyakarta), and the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto). She holds an MA from the Dutch Art Institute and a BFA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.

Skye Maule-O’Brien is an educator and artistic researcher working between Montreal, Barbados, and Rotterdam. Her collaborative practice combines theory, narrative, and sensory methods using the framework of intimate pedagogy; a theory and method she developed that centers intimacy and vulnerability in transformative knowledge production. She holds a PhD in Education from York University (Toronto) with an exchange at the University of the West Indies (Barbados), a Master’s in Educational Studies and a BFA in Art History with a minor in Adult Education from Concordia University (Montreal).She is a principal lecturer in the Theory Programme at Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.

HumDrum Press is a publishing project that experiments towards publishing as a commons. With homes in Rotterdam and Berlin, HumDrum produces collaboration-focused publications, hosts public gathering, and maintains a based publishing model.

Dyke March Book Club

NieuwLand, Sunday, June 7 at 04:00 PM GMT+2

In June the Dyke March Book Club will be reading All About Love by bell hooks!

The meeting will take place on Sunday 7 June, 16-18hr at NieuwLand (Pieter Nieuwlandstraat 93, 1093 XN Amsterdam). 🔗 Sign up here.

“All About Love offers radical new ways to think about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives. In eleven concise chapters, hooks explains how our everyday notions of what it means to give and receive love often fail us, and how these ideals are established in early childhood. She offers a rethinking of self-love (without narcissism) that will bring peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives, and asserts the place of love to end struggles between individuals, in communities, and among societies. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, hooks notes the ties between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all.”
