Wow I finally unlocked a ton of knowledge about displaying, styling, manipulating, and embedding maps today thanks to @bart!

I am going to use @maplibre GL JS everywhere from now on.

It’s so simple and fun that in a handful of minutes I managed to add a minimap to pages related to a specific place in my website 👀 (see this commit and this page as reference).

Thanks @internetarchiveeurope for having us 💕

Cinema

Joe's Garage, Sunday, June 14 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

Drijfand tells the story of the foating gardens created by the renowned artist Robert Jasper Grootveld in Amsterdam’s Entrepot harbor, Zeeburg district. Beginning in late 1999, I started to flm the construction of these unique garden islands in Grootveld’s workshop, a visionary project he had nurtured since the 1960s. Within a few months two foating garden were completed. Through intimate footage, we witness the creative process unfold, as well as the sudden collapse of the project. amid escalating tensions between Grootveld and local authorities. Until his passing in 2009, I flmed regularly. Among the moments captured were times when he was recognized for his role in bringing global attention to Amsterdam, as well as his involvement as one of the founders of the Provo movement in the 1960s. In 2024, drawn by the gardens’ abundant nature and the dedication of the Raft Builders of Amsterdam, who maintain the islands in Grootveld’s pioneering spirit, I returned to document this living legacy. The islands’ buoyancy relies on styrofoam, a material Grootveld championed for its “power of softness.” Yet, 25 years later, styrofoam’s environmental impact has sparked urgent questions. The flm delves into this dilemma, tracing the search for sustainable, biobased alternatives that honor Grootveld’s ethos while protecting nature. Drijfand offers a candid, tender, and often hilarious glimpse into Amsterdam’s underground creative forces, a story of resilience, innovation, and the evolving relationship between art, nature, and community. Duration 64 minutes, english subtitled.

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?

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).

Toward a Radical Future

Felix Meritis, Friday, June 12 at 03:00 PM GMT+2

What becomes possible when we choose radical hope over fear, and imagination over borders?

Refugee Welcome Week returns to Felix with a second edition. Centered around Radical Hope & Courage, this program explores what future(s) we can build together through art and collective imagination.

Join us for a day full of refugee-led visionary talks, performances, workshops, and photography exploring radical hope and courage, featuring a wide range of thinkers, artists, and activists.

In a world that asks us to stay composed while everything feels like it’s falling apart, where does our anger go? Facilitated by Nisala, Rufino and Sófian, this workshop creates space to acknowledge, explore, and release emotions that are often suppressed, especially for those navigating displacement, injustice, and constant pressure to “hold it together.”

Through guided exercises, collective reflection, and body-based practices (including breathwork, voice, movement, grounding, and yes, possibly screaming), we’ll explore how anger lives in the body, and how it can be expressed safely, collectively, and without shame. Open to refugees, newcomers, and anyone who feels the weight of the current moment in their body and is looking for a space to process it collectively. No prior experience needed.

Omar al-Khatib

Omar al-Khatib is a prominent anti-colonial, feminist, and queer activist and writer based in Jerusalem, Palestine. His work focuses on gender, sexuality, and resistance under settler colonialism. Omar has organized across Palestine for over nine years, including six years with the leading Palestinian queer organization alQaws, and was detained for 16 months in Israeli prisons during the genocide.

Jonon

Jonon is a trans woman artist, poet, dancer, and multidisciplinary practitioner whose work moves between text, body, fabric, and ritual. Working across six languages, she explores identity, embodiment, transformation, and spiritual memory. Her practice brings together performance, textile sensitivity, poetic language, and healing-based rituals.

Fadel Dawod

Fadel Dawod is an Amsterdam-based Egyptian photojournalist who started his career at the young age of 17 with Al Masry Al Youm, covering historic events. His work was published by global outlets including The New York Times and The Guardian, and exposes the brutal realities of social injustice. Driven to dissect identity, exile, and displacement among marginalized peoples, Dawod uses photography to confront oppression and reclaim freedom.

Milka Yemane

Milka Yemane is a proud African Eritrean diasporan and refugee millennial. She has worked for many years on issues related to migration and refugee policies in the Netherlands, Lampedusa, and Turkey. She founded and led an Eritrean diaspora-led organisation focused on cultural awareness and effective integration policies and strategies based on the needs of newcomers.

Currently, she is serving her second term as a city councillor in Amsterdam and is the head of the International Foundation GroenLinks, where she works with progressive civil society organisations in SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) and South East Europe. Recently, she also became the Chair of War Child.

Adnan Samman

Adnan Samman is a Syrian artist, DJ, and musician. He joins us with the audiovisual project Eyeless in Damascus, a live improvisation merging field recordings and samples with electronics and synthesizers.

Mohamed Al Tayeb

Mohamed Al Tayeb is a singer, songwriter, and composer who seeks to translate the complex social and spiritual poetry of Sudan into a unique, sophisticated acoustic sound. Singing exclusively in Sudanese Arabic, his music draws deeply from the Sufi tradition and the mesmerizing simplicity of the pentatonic scale. He fuses this ancient core with the rhythms of Western jazz and chamber music to create a truly global sound.

Gunay Rzazada

Gunay Rzazada is a cultural heritage specialist born in Lankaran, Azerbaijan. Her work focuses on documenting the oral histories and cultural practices of marginalized communities, exploring how memory, heritage, and ecological knowledge shape identity and collective belonging.

Belonging to the Talysh ethnic minority and growing up between Azerbaijan and Russia, she became aware of how easily voices of small communities can be silenced and cultural continuity can be disrupted. Her practice responds through living heritage traditions such as weaving, storytelling, and women-led craft practices, treating cultural legacy as a living archive of memory, resilience, and quiet resistance.

AYEDA

AYEDA is an Iranian-Canadian DJ & producer,based in the Netherlands. Her sound is a vibrant fusion of Southwest Asia and North Africa inspired melodies, experimental electronic, UK-garage and tech house. She presents a sound that pushes the boundaries of tradition, fusing genre-bending frequencies rising from the underground. Ayeda has performed at festivals such as Amsterdam Dance Event, Queer Intimacy Festival and Kinetic. She has held radio residencies and aired on B-Side Radio, Operator Radio, Radio Weesper, and other community radios across Europe.

Spotlight Team International Art

Founded in 2018 by artivist Mostafa Betaree, Spotlight Team International Art is a Dutch-based, artist-led organization working across Gaza, Syria, and Europe through performance, film, music, and participatory methods. Led by newcomers and refugees, the organisation develops long-term projects at the intersection of art, human rights, and community.

For this program, Spotlight Team will curate the expo hall with materials from their fieldwork in Gaza and Syria, where art is used as a tool for psychosocial support, expression, and the creation of safe spaces within communities affected by war and displacement. Their contribution includes the screening of the short film Colored Dust, storytelling, and opportunities to engage directly with members of their team.

Palestinian food by Salma Barakat

Founded by Salma Barakat, Sufret Salma carries the flavors of Gaza City. What started as a desperate effort to keep her family alive, Sufret Salma has grown into Salma’s life work: securing medical passage and healing for Gaza’s injured children. Through Sufret Salma, you are invited you to see Gaza not just through its struggle, but through the strength of its people and the hope we refuse to let go.

Omar al-Khatib

Omar al-Khatib is a prominent anti-colonial, feminist, and queer activist and writer based in Jerusalem, Palestine. His work focuses on gender, sexuality, and resistance under settler colonialism. Omar has organized across Palestine for over nine years, including six years with the leading Palestinian queer organization alQaws, and was detained for 16 months in Israeli prisons during the genocide.

Jonon

Jonon is a trans woman artist, poet, dancer, and multidisciplinary practitioner whose work moves between text, body, fabric, and ritual. Working across six languages, she explores identity, embodiment, transformation, and spiritual memory. Her practice brings together performance, textile sensitivity, poetic language, and healing-based rituals.

Fadel Dawod

Fadel Dawod is an Amsterdam-based Egyptian photojournalist who started his career at the young age of 17 with Al Masry Al Youm, covering historic events. His work was published by global outlets including The New York Times and The Guardian, and exposes the brutal realities of social injustice. Driven to dissect identity, exile, and displacement among marginalized peoples, Dawod uses photography to confront oppression and reclaim freedom.

Milka Yemane

Milka Yemane is a proud African Eritrean diasporan and refugee millennial. She has worked for many years on issues related to migration and refugee policies in the Netherlands, Lampedusa, and Turkey. She founded and led an Eritrean diaspora-led organisation focused on cultural awareness and effective integration policies and strategies based on the needs of newcomers.

Currently, she is serving her second term as a city councillor in Amsterdam and is the head of the International Foundation GroenLinks, where she works with progressive civil society organisations in SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) and South East Europe. Recently, she also became the Chair of War Child.

Adnan Samman

Adnan Samman is a Syrian artist, DJ, and musician. He joins us with the audiovisual project Eyeless in Damascus, a live improvisation merging field recordings and samples with electronics and synthesizers. Samman creates soundscapes that are sometimes comforting, sometimes unsettling, but always curious and exploratory. Eyeless in Damascus has already been performed at Utrecht’s ACU, Rotterdam’s WORM and most recently a sold-out show at Filmhuis Cavia in Amsterdam.

Mohamed Al Tayeb

Mohamed Al Tayeb is a singer, songwriter, and composer who seeks to translate the complex social and spiritual poetry of Sudan into a unique, sophisticated acoustic sound. Singing exclusively in Sudanese Arabic, his music draws deeply from the Sufi tradition and the mesmerizing simplicity of the pentatonic scale. He fuses this ancient core with the rhythms of Western jazz and chamber music to create a truly global sound.

Gunay Rzazada

Gunay Rzazada is a cultural heritage specialist born in Lankaran, Azerbaijan. Her work focuses on documenting the oral histories and cultural practices of marginalized communities, exploring how memory, heritage, and ecological knowledge shape identity and collective belonging.

Belonging to the Talysh ethnic minority and growing up between Azerbaijan and Russia, she became aware of how easily voices of small communities can be silenced and cultural continuity can be disrupted. Her practice responds through living heritage traditions such as weaving, storytelling, and women-led craft practices, treating cultural legacy as a living archive of memory, resilience, and quiet resistance.

AYEDA

AYEDA is an Iranian-Canadian DJ & producer,based in the Netherlands. Her sound is a vibrant fusion of Southwest Asia and North Africa inspired melodies, experimental electronic, UK-garage and tech house. She presents a sound that pushes the boundaries of tradition, fusing genre-bending frequencies rising from the underground. Ayeda has performed at festivals such as Amsterdam Dance Event, Queer Intimacy Festival and Kinetic. She has held radio residencies and aired on B-Side Radio, Operator Radio, Radio Weesper, and other community radios across Europe.

Spotlight Team International Art

Founded in 2018 by artivist Mostafa Betaree, Spotlight Team International Art is a Dutch-based, artist-led organization working across Gaza, Syria, and Europe through performance, film, music, and participatory methods. Led by newcomers and refugees, the organisation develops long-term projects at the intersection of art, human rights, and community.

For this program, Spotlight Team will curate the expo hall with materials from their fieldwork in Gaza and Syria, where art is used as a tool for psychosocial support, expression, and the creation of safe spaces within communities affected by war and displacement. Their contribution includes the screening of the short film Colored Dust, storytelling, and opportunities to engage directly with members of their team.

Palestinian food by Salma Barakat

Founded by Salma Barakat, Sufret Salma carries the flavors of Gaza City. What started as a desperate effort to keep her family alive, Sufret Salma has grown into Salma’s life work: securing medical passage and healing for Gaza’s injured children. Through Sufret Salma, you are invited you to see Gaza not just through its struggle, but through the strength of its people and the hope we refuse to let go.

An Exploration of Language and Sound

De Nieuwe Liefde, Sunday, April 19 at 01:30 PM GMT+2

Workshop series in collaboration with the Holland Festival

What happens when language moves beyond definition? When words turn into sound? When a voice does not only tell, but sings, breathes, breaks, and resonates?

Holland Festival and De Nieuwe Liefde are collaborating on the workshop series An Exploration of Language and Sound, in which we investigate the power of storytelling, voice, music, and experimentation across three sessions. Guided by experienced guest artists and performers, participants are invited to discover their own voice and artistic style. How can language break free from constraints? How can sound carry a story when words fall short? And how can personal stories connect to urgent social questions?

Together, we will explore the voice as an instrument, language as constantly evolving medium, and listening as an active and creative practice. Through collective listening, writing exercises, and vocal experimentation, participants will be encouraged to step beyond familiar forms and discover new modes of expression.

The workshop series will take place at De Nieuwe Liefde, a space devoted to language, literature, and social reflection. Your workshop host will be poet, writer and programme curator Dean Bowen.

The workshops will be conducted in English.

In his work, he explores the dynamics of composite identity and how it relates to the political and social positioning of the individual. His debut collection Bokman (2018) has been described as lyrical, passionate, and angry; a personal quest that exposes universal patterns and gives voice to many perspectives. Bokman was published in an Italian translation in 2021. Dean Bowen has published on online platforms such as Samplekanon and Hard//Hoofd, as well as in literary journals including nY, Tirade, Revisor, and De Gids.

Guest artists

Karima El Fillali – April 19

Karima El Fillali (1987) grew up between Dutch and Moroccan cultures, shaped by music and spirituality. Her mother introduced her to singing and baroque church music, while her father shared Islam and Moroccan recordings, through which she discovered Oum Kalthoum.

Drawn to her heritage, she traveled to Morocco to study Arabic and immerse herself in traditions like gnawa and classical singing. Under a Sufi master, she dedicated herself to tarab, music that evokes deep emotional and spiritual states. Back in the Netherlands, she became known for her interpretations of Oum Kalthoum as well as experimental work blending African, European, and Middle Eastern influences. She has collaborated with Oumou Sangaré and Mahmoud Guinia, and received an Award of Honor from Morocco’s Minister of Culture.

Jorgen Gario | UNOM – May 17

Jörgen Gario, also known as UNOM, is an Antillean poet born on Sint Maarten, writing in Dutch, English, and Papiamentu. His artistic journey began in 2006 with a spoken word workshop at Poetry Circle Nowhere, where he later became a coach mentoring emerging talent.

Blending poetry with music, he incorporates guitar, ukulele, and electronic production into performances rooted in reggae and dancehall. His work explores identity, expression, and freedom, marked by an energetic stage presence and reflective lyrics.

Gario’s poetry has been featured in major Dutch publications, including Hardop – Spoken Word in Nederland. Over nearly two decades, he has performed extensively across the Netherlands and internationally, building a reputation as a dynamic and boundary-pushing spoken word artist.

Tanya Tagaq – June 5

Tanya Tagaq (1975) is a Canadian throat singer of Inuit and European descent whose work draws deeply on her cultural heritage. She revitalizes traditional Inuit throat singing by blending it with genres such as jazz, punk, electronic, and classical music.

While studying visual arts in Halifax, she developed her distinctive style. Her international breakthrough came through a collaboration with Björk on the album Medúlla (2004). Her debut album Sinaa (2005) won a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award, and she later collaborated extensively with the Kronos Quartet.

Tagaq has received widespread acclaim for her albums and film work, including the Polaris Music Prize for Animism (2014) and a Juno Award in 2015.

READ MY WORLD KICK-OFF

Tolhuistuin, Saturday, June 13 at 12:00 PM GMT+2

On June 13, we’ll kick off the Read My World 2026 season. An afternoon where stories from the Moluccan and Papuan diasporas come together.

You’ll move among books and creators, voices and conversations. Indoors and outdoors, everything blends together. You’ll linger at a (poetry) reading, strike up a conversation, hear music drifting through the garden, and before you know it, a few hours will have passed.

Aca Siwabessy will present her book PADEDE, in which she brings together personal and collective stories from the Moluccan community.

Throughout the day, there will be live music, a workshop, and food.

At the book market, you’ll find Bijlmer Bookstore, Boekhandel de Duif, Coolzone, Fort van Sjakoo, Hard//Hoofd, and Noon, among others, with information booths from Marinjo/Malib and the Papoeahuis.

De Grote Kledingruil x The Slow Fashion Show

Tolhuistuin, Sunday, June 28 at 12:00 PM GMT+2

On June 29, our garden turns into a creative playground where clothes change hands, ideas circulate, and style takes on new life.

Together with The Slow Fashion Show and The Clothing Loop, we’re hosting the third edition of the Big Clothing Swap. Bring 7 items you no longer wear and trade them for new favorites. With a starting collection of 400+ pieces, there’s definitely something waiting for you.

The future is preloved. This is what it looks like.

But this is more than just a clothing swap. It’s a different way of looking at fashion. Get hands-on during upcycling workshops, give your clothes a second life, learn visible mending, or get inspired by others and their unique style.

This day is driven by a shared love for clothes that last longer:

— The Clothing Loop: a growing network where clothes move from closet to closet
— The Slow Fashion Show: a platform for young creators approaching fashion with care, creativity, and their own perspective

— large clothing swap
— DIY charm table: create your own keychains from recycled materials
— upcycling & denim workshop: patches, mending & customizing
— styling workshop
— music, food & drinks

This initiative is a collaboration driven by love:

The Clothing Loop: a growing, accessible initiative where clothes are passed on and move from closet to closet.

The Slow Fashion Show: a movement by and for young people, highlighting the slower side of fashion: more creative, more conscious, and with space to explore and shape your own style.

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.

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. 

Evening programmeJoin us for an evening of queer joy centering the plant-ally Saint-John’s-Wort (SJW). Sasa and Jules will open the evening with an introduction to their research, offering Saint-John’s-Wort tea and oil for hand massage. The audience will be invited into a collective sonic meditation, followed by a concert by Queer Choir Amsterdam.

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.

Between Women Filmmakers Caravan.

OT301, Saturday, May 23 at 05:30 PM GMT+2

Ventilator Cinema is bringing you a selection of unique short documentary films made by Egyptian filmmakers in collaboration with the Between Women Filmmakers Caravan.

Based in Cairo, the Between Women Filmmakers Caravan supports female filmmakers by providing them with the tools and knowledge necessary to develop their short films from scratch during their Creative Documentary Workshop. This event will screen some of the films produced over the workshop’s past cycles.

Each film explores a world of its own—from a grandmother’s secret and a love-hate relationship with the camera, to witnessing the ever-changing streets of Cairo and bidding farewell to a family home. Together, these films will transport you to an incredibly intimate and whimsical world as the filmmakers seek answers to unresolved questions, grapple with change, and navigate complicated relationships.

Join us on this special evening and stick around for a virtual Q&A with the directors afterwards!
All the films have English subtitles .

🎬 Greek Film Festival WORKSHOP: Low-Budget Filmmaking as a Method

Filmhuis Cavia, Saturday, May 23 at 03:00 PM GMT+2

By Smaragda Nitsopoulou

Most workshops for independent filmmakers begin with the same unspoken premise: that you are working with less than you should have, and that the goal is to compensate—to fake the look of money you don’t have, to imitate the production values of films made under conditions nothing like yours.

This workshop begins from the opposite premise.

Some of the most precise, intimate, and politically alert cinema of the last fifty years was made deliberately small. Chantal Akerman filmed in her own apartment. Abbas Kiarostami strapped two cameras to a dashboard and dismissed the crew. Harun Farocki refused to show what his film was about, and made that refusal the form.

These are often described as “survival strategies,” but in reality they are formal, ethical, and artistic positions—ones that filmmakers with full financing cannot easily reach.

This is a workshop about learning to occupy that position on purpose. Send your materials before the 17th of May at [email protected].

This workshop is part of the Greek Film Festival program.

The Greek Film Festival in the Netherlands (GRFFNL), exclusively at Filmhuis Cavia and the Kempernaerstudio, is a new cultural initiative dedicated to showcasing Greek cinema to audiences in the Netherlands. The festival presents a curated selection of films by Greek directors, including fiction, documentaries, and other cinematic forms that reflect the diversity and creativity of Greek storytelling.

FUNHOUSE

Theater de Richel, Monday, October 26 at 06:30 PM GMT+1

FUNHOUSE is een initiatief van de Theatertroep, een programmareeks in het kader van mentale gezondheid onder jongvolwassenen (18-30 jaar), gemaakt door jongeren.

Op een FUNHOUSE avond nemen we het hele gebouw van Theater de Richel over met ons programma, en dat kan van alles zijn: theater, film, muziek, lezing, workshop, debat etc, en in ieder geval; altijd inclusief soep en brood.

Elke avond heeft een eigen thema. Gedurende vijf avonden verkennen we dit jaar onder andere de impact van de politiek, racisme en discriminatie en het nachtleven op onze mentale gezondheid.

De wereld lijkt steeds sneller te draaien en soms zijn we even kwijt wat we moeten met alle gevoelens, angsten en onrust om ons heen. De avonden zijn deels informatief, maar vooral ook bedoeld om lichter naar buiten te lopen dan je naar binnen kwam.

We proberen de avonden met de toegangsprijs zo toegankelijk mogelijk te houden. Een ticket kost dit jaar 4,50eu, hiervoor krijg je het hele programma + een kopje soep met brood.

De deuren openen om 18:30u voor soep en brood, het programma is van 19u – 21:30u.

Het programma wordt binnenkort bekend gemaakt.
