GOODBYE POVERTY JETSET by Sepp Eckenhaussen
San Serriffe, Wednesday, July 15 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
introduction by Amy Gowen, talk with Mela Miekus, Alina Lupu and Sepp Eckenhaussen, and a provocation by Koen Bartijn
The art economy makes some people filthy rich but leaves most people making art in poverty. How is that possible? And, more importantly, how can it be changed? Can we imagine and organise an art world that is economically sustainable for the people working in it?
Each chapter in this book focuses on one alternative model that art workers already practice, including commons, co-operatives, community currencies, basic income, infrastructural critique, fair payment guidelines, economically responsible art education, and social unions. A combination of case studies, theory, and historical reflections provide solid strategic insights into what works for the workers and what doesn’t.
Goodbye Poverty Jetset is a toolbox for artists, designers, museum guards, curators, writers, tour guides, and art handlers – in short, for all the art workers who want to change the system they live and work in, collectively.

LATENT MOURNINGS by Flavia Dzodan
San Serriffe, Thursday, July 16 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
reading and conversation with Flavia Dzodan and Hugo Esquinca at 6.30pm
Latent Mournings examines how infrastructures of computation reorganize affect, temporality, and the conditions of perception. Through theoretical essays, recursive analyses, and media-archaeological experiments, Dzodan develops a framework in which emotion becomes logistical, latency becomes epistemic material, and mourning emerges as an infrastructural mode rather than an interior state.
Tracing a genealogy that moves from Affective Logistics to the spectral and chimeric ethics of Amorino Latente, the book maps the residues and remainders that shape contemporary life under algorithmic governance. Dzodan’s writing inhabits the interval between exhaustion and maintenance, articulating a practice ground- ed in latency, refusal, and the aesthetics of the never-made.
Drawing from projects such as Absence / Longing / Saturation, Haptic Mournings, and the ongoing research on Chronoecology, Latent Mournings outlines a low-energy ecology of the present: one defined by infrastructural decay, affective capture, and the spectral artifacts generated by systems that optimize for frictionless operation. This work offers a rigorous vocabulary for describing the computational present while insisting on the value of opacity, recursion, and incompletion as analytical methods.

HOSTING SPACE by Maike Statz
San Serriffe, Friday, July 3 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
Hosting Space explores how processes of hosting, such as access, support, and gathering, operate within the context of an art institution. It invites readers to reconsider how these activities are embedded in the spaces we inhabit and how they shape spatial practices.
The publication reflects on an exhibition and event program curated by Maike Statz at Hordaland Kunstsenter, Bergen, in 2023, bringing together visual documentation, new writing, and interviews with Staci Bu Shea, Océane Vé-Réveillac, and César Reyes Nájera. Through these contributions, the book considers how art institutions and spatial practitioners might operate differently by prioritizing accessibility, interdependence, difference, maintenance, and spaces for spontaneous gathering.
Designed by Francesca Lucchitta and edited by Mathijs van Geest, Hosting Space is both an invitation and an active archive, engaging with ongoing discussions on socially engaged practices, institutional critique, and exhibition-making as a method of research.Maike Statz (born 1992) is an Australian interior architect, artist and writer living in Oslo and Amsterdam. In her work she explores the relationship between bodies, emotion, behaviour, identity and space. Informed by feminist and queer practices, Maike Statz investigates spatial inequalities and seeks alternative tools and methods for space-making.

IN BUT NOT OF with Cecilia Casabona and Noam Youngrak Son
San Serriffe, Friday, June 26 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
Working within cultural institutions creates a core tension: how can you stay independent while trying to change the very systems you’re part of? In But Not Of: Practices of Commoning in Art and Infrastructure explores that tension by mapping out how “commons” can exist both outside and inside the structures of cultural production.
With contributions from Andrea J. Nightingale, Andrea Thal, Bianca Schick, Binna Choi, Chris Lee, Clara Balaguer, Dalia Maini, Josh Plough, Lorenzo Gerbi, Madhumita Nandi, Maren Bang, Nina Martin, Noam Youngrak Son, Noura Alkhalili, Pete Fung, Peter Linebaugh, Simon Fairlie, Wojciech Matejko, and Yin Awien, this collection goes beyond the usual critiques of institutions. It connects cultural commoning to wider histories of social struggle – from the privatization of common land in Britain to the destruction of Palestinian shared farming systems under colonial rule. The book looks at the spaces around institutions as both fragile commons and practical foundations for change.
Through essays, real-world examples, and fiction, these cultural organizers, writers, and artists from different fields and places tackle this tension head-on. How do collectives survive budget cuts and political crackdowns? How do Indigenous ways of knowing challenge institutional ideas about sharing and care? Can circulation and debt be turned into tools for redistribution? And how can speculation and science fiction help us practice autonomy even within systems that limit it?
Instead of just talking about autonomy, this collection pushes for real strategies. It gives cultural organizers a crucial framework for navigating conflicting values—especially now, when the same institutions can fund both decolonial art and genocide.https://offbeat.amsterdam/event/in-but-not-of-with-cecilia-casabona-and-noam-youngrak-son

STATEMENT AND COUNTER-STATEMENT 1 + 2 by Experimental Jetset
San Serriffe, Saturday, June 13 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
with talks by Dutton Hauhart, Lieven Lahaye and Experimental Jetset at 6.30pm
We kindly invite you to join us for a special evening dedicated to the release of the two latest paperbacks by Experimental Jetset – their new monograph (‘Statement and Counter-Statement 2: Typologies/ Typographies/ Topologies/ Topographies’) and the reprint of their previous monograph (‘Statement and Counter-Statement: Notes on EJ, Vol. 1’), both published by Roma Publications.
The event will feature two speakers doing short talks – first, there’s Dutton Hauhart, who will tell something about the proofreading of both paperbacks; in fact, Dutton has been the proofreader of all of Experimental Jetset’s paperbacks (and the in-house proofreader of Roma Publications and Idea Books as well), so he might have some interesting things to say about correcting text. Secondly, there’s artist/librarian Lieven Lahaye, contributor to the second paperback, who will read an excerpt from the essay that he wrote for EJ – ‘!KOM direkt’ (‘!COME immediately’), mapping a dérive-like journey through the archive. Added to that, Experimental Jetset will be there as well, signing (or rather, stamping) their books. So when in town, do drop by.https://offbeat.amsterdam/event/statement-and-counter-statement-1-2-by-experimental-jetset

Screening নধরের ভেলা (Nadharer Bhela) / The Slow Man and His Raft
AstaroTheatro, Friday, June 26 at 06:30 PM GMT+2
Movie Screening নধরের ভেলা (Nadharer Bhela) / The Slow Man and His Raft
Pradipta Bhattacharyya · 2025 · 179 mins | Bengali Spoken | Subtitles EnglishRSVP: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/E6GFPWBOINJyca4tZ-SMPHV6nI5s1lFmV...
AstaroTheatro · 26 June 2026 · Doors 18:30 · Film 19:00
Sint Jansstraat 37, Amsterdam (5 minutes from Centraal Station)."Nadhar, a man deemed dysfunctional for his extremely sluggish movements, becomes part of a travelling circus, where his condition turns into spectacle."
What happens when a body does not align with the speed at which the world decides value. Around the body, a world is being sorted too quickly into what can be used, what can be shown, what can be kept as “culture”, and what can be left behind. The Manasamangal lore, a six-hundred-year-old poem most people remember as a love story and which is not, is underneath this: snake, deity, fear, protection, not as heritage, but as something still active in how life is divided, who is held and who is left outside.
The film's journey has been as unusual as its subject. Rather than relying on conventional theatrical distribution, Nadharer Bhela has travelled through a network of independently organised screenings, community halls, town theatres, cultural spaces and self-organised gatherings across Bengal and beyond. Its circulation has depended not on multiplexes or streaming platforms, but on audiences willing to create spaces for collective viewing and conversation.
Though it travelled to Rotterdam, this is not a festival film seeking prestige from afar.It is a film that has found its life in rooms filled with people sitting together for an evening, allowing a story to unfold at its own pace. AstaroTheatro is one of those rooms.
Suggested donation: €8–15 (sliding scale). Less is welcome, more helps support independent filmmaking and the space.

The Queer Superdiversity Podcast Show ‘Cruise Verhalen: Horny & Historisch’
No Limits! Art Castle, Thursday, May 28 at 06:30 PM GMT+2
Entry
Schedule
• 18:30 – Walk-in
• 19:00 – Start podcast
• 20:30 – End official episode
• 21:00 – End of event
Collaboration: Cruise Verhalen × Barnaby Savage × the Queer Super Diversity Podcast
• Gender-fluid cruising: cruising from different gender perspectives
• Safety and recent incidents on the banks of de Nieuwe Meer (harassment of cruisers)
• A historical perspective on safety and cruising (by Barnaby Savage)
Cruise Verhalen: Horny en Historisch
Cruise Verhalen (Cruising Stories) is an archive of cruising encounters that happened in Amsterdam and beyond. Gathered from bushes, car parks and public toilets.
For Cruising Amsterdam, Barnaby reimagines his body as an archive of experiences through time and condenses these voices into a booth: step inside, listen to the stories and see what happens. You can leave your own trace, tip or service on the walls.The body is not metaphor but infrastructure. Storage. Signal. Flesh as hard drive.
Desire is unscripted and happens in real time, between strangers who clock each other without a word.An accumulation of risk, sweat, myth and queer intelligence passed from mouth to ear, from knee to concrete, from one night into the next.
THE QUEER SUPERDIVERSITY PODCAST SHOW
A podcast about the multiple identities that are present within ourselves
The Queer Superdiversity Podcast Show explores the many — often overlapping — identities we carry within ourselves. How do these different parts of us relate, influence one another, clash or harmonize? Rather than treating identity as a set of isolated labels, the podcast looks at how lived experience, culture, embodiment, desire, neurodiversity, gender and community interact in complex and sometimes unexpected ways.
Through long-form conversations and storytelling, the show examines identity not as something static but as something dynamic — formed through context, history, intimacy and imagination. Each episode invites listeners to think beyond singular narratives of “who we are” and instead approach identity as layered, relational and in motion.

kiln as kin: a day of gathering, firing, cooking
W139, Saturday, June 13 at 02:00 PM GMT+2
“What flavors place, what place flavors?” Posed by Christina Sharpe in her book Ordinary Notes, this question lingers in the space between land and taste. How does place, how does land, persist even when territory fractures? What stories, histories, and rituals do we carry with us through food? Ingredients, gestures, and tastes become a living archive carried within and through our daily practices of making—kneading, fermenting, grinding, storing, carrying.
Using food as a way to hold and transmit knowledge, during this day of gathering we will come together to activate a newly created tonir-style clay oven and a small stove at Four Siblings. The oven was built during an earlier workshop in May with transdisciplinary artist Tatiana M. Mélo. We will prepare food, cook, and eat together as a way to share knowledge about food systems, forgotten recipes, and lost rituals. We will be joined by Martina Manterola and Carmen Serra, cofounders of colectivo amasijo, an intergenerational feminist collective who work across art, cooking, and land-based pedagogy. They will join us in activating the ovens through their own rituals, practices, and foods. Together with Tatiana we will also be creating small clay structures and sculptures to bake bread inside of.
The residency of colectivo amasijo is part of the Exchanges programme by the Prince Claus Fund, with the support of the Amsterdam City Council.
Ticket: €10Student and solidarity ticket: €7,50
Buy your tickets via Eventbrite
Location: Four Siblings, President Allendelaan 1, 1064 GW Amsterdam
colectivo amasijo is a feminist collective composed of women from various disciplines and generations, working across art, cooking, and land-based pedagogy. amasijo’s approach centers on collaborative cooking and agriculture as forms of resistance and land regeneration. They are united in their desire to actively reflect on the origin and diversity of our food. Since their formation in 2019 they have been providing a platform for non–dominant voices: the narratives of women close to the land, stories that tell us the real cost of climate change and show us the way towards the regeneration of the land. Through their projects, that can take the form of gatherings, dinners, research, actions, ceremonies, exhibitions, markets, seminars, film, or talks, the collective builds the needed structures to form a community in which taking care of ourselves and taking care of the territory we inhabit is priority. Their practice insists on care, circular knowledge, and embodied time — challenging extractive logics through feminist, decolonial methodologies.
Tatiana M. Melo is a transdisciplinary artist from Barcelona, living in the countryside of La Garrotxa. She works with clay and ceramics—activating the memory of territory through ritual objects made with stones, ashes, and words gathered from the community. Her practice centers on the transformation of soil into kilns, understood not only as firing tools, but as spaces of encounter, transformation, and ritual. She explores clay as an ancestral material, applying sustainable practices to construction and everyday objects. She has organized workshops and gatherings on collective building, ceramics, and community, collaborating with artists and researchers to rethink the relationship between humans, materials, and the environment.
Four Siblings is a land based art and research project. They come together to create an edible labyrinth in the shape of an artwork in the threshold of the city of Amsterdam. They want to create a sense of belonging to the earth we live on, to the food we eat. They investigate collective ways of generating knowledge and make it as open source as possible.They want to do so in a mutually supportive way—care for our bodies while we care for the land, bring back biodiversity and seed resources, generate new local networks between artists, farmers, permaculturists, and residents, while learning by doing.

earthly suns: workshop, gathering, and performance programme
W139, Friday, June 26 at 02:00 PM GMT+2
A two-part program that centers the plant-ally Saint-John’s-Wort and the queer poetics it offers. Join artists Sasa Ghanem-Chaney, Jules Davis-Dufayard, and A.E.Z Pinay for an afternoon of queer collective care. In the evening there will be a special gathering with plant offerings, a sonic mediation, and a concert by Queer Choir Amsterdam.
earthly suns is a multidisciplinary research project, developed by Jules Davis-Dufayard and Sasa Ghanem-Chaney, that departs from a shared love towards the plant Saint-John’s-Wort, and a shared love for communal singing. Together they have embarked on a long-term research around this plant-ally since summer 2025, inspired by the queer poetics it offers as it grows powerful and unnoticed between Amsterdam’s pavements. They hope to develop land and body based seasonal practices which are relevant to the current context of late-stage racial capitalism, and which can contribute to the physical, emotional and spiritual nourishment of current social change movements. This research takes form through herbalism, storytelling, trauma-informed care practices, and vocal somatics (Deep Listening). The earthly suns workshop and gathering emerge from their research and collective practices.
ProgrammeWorkshop: 14:00 – 18:00Gathering and performance programme: 20:00 – 22:00
WorkshopJules Davis-Dufayard and Sasa Ghanem-Chaney invite you for an afternoon of queer collective care centering the plant-ally Saint-John’s-Wort (SJW). During this workshop they will share knowledge around what SJW has to offer in terms of physical and mental healing, as well as take inspiration from its resilient growth through Amsterdam’s urban landscape. They will share tools from herbalism, plant symbolism, somatics, collective singing, and vocal meditation working towards community healing and care strategies. Special guest A.E.Z. Pinay will also intervene and invite the group into his grieving practice in the form of choral mourning. In his work he explores the rhythmicality of sobs and sighs, and the melody of moans and laments, as well as the seemingly impossible task to establish a framework that properly allows sorrow to flow.
The workshop is followed by a simple dinner, between 18:00 and 19:00, prepared by maria khatchadourian (only for workshop participants). After the dinner an event will follow with a large scale collective sonic meditation, and a concert by Queer Choir Amsterdam. Separate tickets are available for the evening programme.
The workshop ticket includes the possibility to stay for the evening programme. You can note your participation when you purchase your ticket.

Sasa Ghanem-Chaney (French-Algerian, 1993) is an artist, performer, director and facilitator based in Amsterdam since 2017. They work with worldbuilding, interactive installations, collective processes, sound, performance and herbalism. Their practice questions the politics of history-making. What are the invisible frameworks at play in the decision of archiving? Which lores subsist to shape our contemporary perspectives? How can we slow down and listen to the unsung echoes of voices past? Through speculative storytelling, performance, immersive spaces and collective practices, Sasa Ghanem-Chaney questions the making of stories and our political role in the remembrance of minoritized voices.
Jules Davis-Dufayard (France, 1991) is an artist/facilitator, and an apprentice of somatics and transformative justice, currently living in a white trans crip/disabled body. They facilitate experiences with/in nature to create internal and collective space for growth and transformation, nurturing healing ways to relate to ourselves, each other, and the webs of relations we are embedded in. At the moment, Jules is fascinated by crip and gut wisdoms, and by practices of herbalism, foraging and eating as everyday and embodied portals to remembering that “the earth isn’t an extension of our bodies, it’s the other way around” (GTDF).
The Queer Choir of Amsterdam is an artistic initiative that promises the creation of a brave space to celebrate unique identities and voices. Through rehearsals and performances, they express their ideas for the futures they desire and the narratives they want to share. In the unification of their voices, they create harmonies, but also distinctively recognize the varied nature of the human voice and hone agency over their voices. Queer Choir also works a lot with soundscapes, improvisation and audience engagement. QC has performed in many venues and events, such as the Oude Kerk, Holland Festival, Buro Stedelijk, Vrankrijk, and the Antwerp Queer Arts Festival.

A.E.Z. Pinay (he/they) is a queer afropean artist, a film maker, and a performer. A part of his work and research revolves around the black ethos in France and the Afrodiasporic experience in its poetic, political and spiritual expression. Mourning, melancholy, and absurdity are elements that inhabit his creations. Another part of his practice is to cultivate his ability to exist outside of marketing values and learn from forest ecologies. This translates as activities such as resting, doing nothing, lying down in the grass, pray, mourn, cry, observe the living and to open oneself to the possibilities of different worldings. He currently studies and works in Amsterdam and prepares the publication of his first essay with Editions Face cachées.

after afterlives: film screening and talk programme
W139, Wednesday, May 27 at 08:00 PM GMT+2
What does the ground unleash when it is denied keeping what it holds? How does soil get implicated in the carrying of catastrophe? And how does continuous excavation for artefacts reveal an obsession to erase history in order to create a new one? Against this erasure, how have material knowledges of burning, plastering, and burying offered different approaches to the ground—one where land and flesh are bound together in a rhythm of constant transformation? These are some of the questions we’ll be engaging with during this program, which will expand on the works of Areej Ashhab and Ola Hassanain, in the flour, water, soil exhibition, and bring in the work of Dina Mimi, to open up a conversation about the artefact as witness, the erasure of history through excavation, the objects and topologies of repair, and the relationship of people to their material environments.
Areej will be sharing excerpts from her film Lime Through the Elements, and connecting them to her new installation, The Ground Keeps What it Holds, commissioned for this exhibition. The work engages ancient burial practices in Palestine and the aftermath of their settler-colonial excavation. Through field research, experimentation, and collective labor, the film revisits the lost practice of lime making in Palestine and its elemental journey back to limestone as a reflection on return—what survives erasure and elimination.
We will also be screening Dina Mimi’s short film The Eyes That Never See, which narrates the story of Ram(z)i, a lonely working class man who died twice. Ram(z)i was renamed as soon as his first body died, to die again in Jerusalem, under the dusty ground while digging for artefacts from a 6,000 year-old ancient city. Just like in Areej’s work, Dina’s film exposes the obsessions of a settler state that continuously excavates, digging deep into the ground, to find artefacts in order to create new histories.
Ola will present her spatial installation for the exhibition, Water Collection Points, and contextualise it within her ongoing project Tell The Water What The Clay Kept Secret. The work uses water collection points across the exhibition space to make visible the efforts to repair the environment that emerge at the onset of catastrophes. Framed as a site for the ‘ecology of repair’, Ola examines this collective effort to deal with crisis by highlighting roles within communities—especially those living near water—where watching and listening emerge as spatial practices shaped by environmental and political rupture.
The films and talks will be followed by a conversation between Ola, Dina, and Areej, moderated by Margarita Osipian—interweaving their individual works and the stories that unfold through them.
Ticket: €7,50Student and solidarity ticket: €5

Areej Ashhab is an artist and researcher whose work addresses material heritage loss, more-than-human ecologies, and land politics. Areej’s practice spans material experimentation, writing, and film, and often unfolds collectively through walks, workshops, and shared meals. She is the co-founder of Al-Block, documenting lost narratives of the Palestinian landscape through collective walking, and Al-Wah’at, a translocal collective countering anthropocentric and colonial narratives around arid lands and futures. In her recent project A Hand of Fire and Stone, she traced abandoned lime pits in Palestine, built a lime kiln prototype in Bethlehem, and activated this lost architecture through fire, songs, and meals; following the elemental cycle of lime from stone, to paste, and back to stone.
Ola Hassanain is an artist whose work moves through architecture, film, and spatial strategies to reflect on how power becomes visible—and felt—through built environments. Her practice engages with places shaped by climate instability, postcolonial legacies, and displacement, thinking through the politics of inhabiting and how ecological and social systems shape one another across time. As she notes, “observation summons a form of power”.
Dina Mimi is an artist working in experimental film and moving image, exploring how, and when, bodies become sites of resistance. Often using found footage to explore themes including smuggling and tactics of movement, her work adopts non-linear forms of narration. She approaches editing as an open and exploratory process, experimenting with the opacity of footage—images that are in the act of vanishing.

Tasting Warmoesstraat
W139, Wednesday, May 20 at 01:00 PM GMT+2
What does Warmoesstraat taste like? In one of the grittiest and most frequented streets of the touristic city of Amsterdam, many things are alive. What can thrive alongside the bodily fluids, trash, food waste and other substances can also thrive in our own bellies! Come taste what grows in, on and around Warmoesstraat.
Our Para-siting space is located on the first floor which can only be reached via a set of stairs. If you are visiting any of our public programme and you have any access needs, please let us know so we may try to accommodate best within our capacity.

Pırıltı Onukar has been exploring the themes of belonging and community through experiential process-based and often situated multidisciplinary work, film, participatory performances, translation, farming and foraging. She is currently focusing most of her attention on the artist-run collective GROND Bajesdorp.
Ilja Schamlé is an artist and writer with an amateur herbal and social medicine practice, yet always stuck on when these things tip over from something liberatory into something lonely, esoteric and de-politicised. She is an all round janitor of a community and residency space called Massia.
