SUMMARY:kiln as kin: clay oven building workshop
DESCRIPTION:tandoor\, tannour\, tandir\, tonir—an ancient underground clay oven. Carrying different names\, the tonir belongs to a family of ovens that are found across Central and South Asia and the MENA regions. The oven has always been a central gathering point. In Armenian cultural tradition it was seen as a symbol of the ‘sun in the ground’—existing as a sacred space in the home for baking bread\, cooking\, and performing rituals.  \n\n\n\nDuring this workshop we will build a tonir-style clay oven together in the ground at Four Siblings\, using clay\, soil\, and sand from their land. Soil is one of the most abundant materials on earth\, yet it remains one of the most overlooked. It is an extraordinary material to build with: it breathes\, holds thermal inertia\, and connects us directly to the land we inhabit. For thousands of years\, our ancestors have worked with soil in many ways: growing food\, shaping ceramics\, building ovens and kitchens to cook with fire\, and constructing homes. In many modern societies\, however\, soil is often treated as waste. How did we end up living so disconnected from such an abundant material? \n\n\n\nWe will be guided by ceramist\, builder\, artisan\, teacher\, and researcher Tatiana M. Melo. In Tatiana’s practice she transforms soil into kilns\, seeing them not only as firing tools but as spaces of encounter\, transformation\, and ritual. For Tatiana\, building with earth is also a gesture of remembrance and care: a way of honoring the knowledge of our ancestors and the land we live on. Gathering around fire becomes a space not only for transforming food\, but also for reflecting on the narratives that shape how we live and where we are going \n\n\n\nIn this day-long workshop\, we will learn how to understand soil and use it for different purposes as we learn by doing collectively. We will start with a theoretical explanation about soil\, earthen plasters\, and wood-fired ovens\, followed by the collective building of the tonir-style clay oven. Alongside the larger oven\, we will also build a small stove. \n\n\n\nThese kilns will be activated on June 13th\, during kiln as kin: a day of gathering\, firing\, cooking\, where we will prepare food\, cook\, and eat together as a way to share knowledge about food systems\, forgotten recipes\, and lost rituals. \n\n\n\nWe will be working outside\, so please dress appropriately for the weather.  \n\n\n\nLunch will be provided. There are only 15 spots available! \n\n\n\nThe workshop is sold out.  If you want to be added to the waiting list in case someone cancel\, please send an email to info@w139.nl. \n\n\n\nTicket: €30Student and solidarity ticket: €20 \n\n\n\nBuy your tickets at via Eventbrite. \n\n\n\nLocation: Four Siblings\, President Allendelaan 1\, 1064 GW Amsterdam \n\n\n\nTatiana 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. \n\n\n\nFour 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.

SUMMARY:Cripothecary: Herb Processing and Solidarity Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an open workshop where you get to become part of our lab\, making your own concoctions. Inspired by the work of The Solidarity Apothecary (Herbalism and State Violence\, Nicole Rose)\, we will humbly guide you through processing herbs that may be able to help with what makes us sick\, anxious and inflamed.  \n\n\n\nOur 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. For this event our normal ticket prices are applicable. For more info see Contact & Visit. \n\n\n\nReserve your spot here! \n\n\n\nPırıltı 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. \n\n\n\nIlja 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.

SUMMARY:Crip Healers Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:In these sessions we will read together texts that are guiding Ilja’s and Pırıltı’s research on herbalism\, urbanism\, witchcraft\, politics of health and crip theory. Together we will try to find how these connect\, forming solidarity between our bodies\, plants and the city. Guided by the metabolics of Warmoesstraat we will ask what healing means and what makes us sick. No preparatory readings required as we will read and discuss together. \n\n\n\nThe first session on 2 May will juxtapose theory with speculative fiction. We will read an introductory text to crip theory followed by a selection of passages on the healer character Anyanwu in Octavia E. Butler’s Wild Seed.   \n\n\n\nIn the second session on 16 May\, we focus on inflammation by moving between different theoretical texts on health and politics alongside close readings of herbal recipes by The Solidarity Apothecary. \n\n\n\nThe reading groups will be held in the main exhibition space which is wheelchair accessible. For this event our normal ticket prices are applicable. For more info see Contact & Visit. \n\n\n\nOur Para-siting space is located on the first floor which can only be reached via a set of stairs.

SUMMARY:Looking back at: Wie We Welzijn
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a festive recap of Wie We Welzijn! \n\n\n\nThe collective mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will present three newspapers they initiated over the past months. They will share insights into the making of the publications\, and together we will celebrate the conclusion of the project with snacks and drinks. \n\n\n\nDuring the Warmoes Biennale\, invited by W139\, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl engaged in conversations about well-being with waiting customers and people passing by. What is the state of well-being in Amsterdam’s city center\, and what factors shape it? Stories\, perspectives\, and ideas were collected and compiled into a series of three free newspapers. These were distributed throughout the neighborhood and can be picked up by visitors at all biennale locations. \n\n\n\nThe first newspaper\, about attachment\, was compiled on March 7 at gift shop and parcel point Effeness. The second edition\, about desire\, followed on March 20 at tattoo shop ORDER. The final edition\, about searching\, was produced on April 4 at Happy Inn Laundromat. \n\n\n\nmul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is a fluid collective that explores its surroundings through collaborative making processes and publishes this multiplicity of voices in public space. The composition of the collective changes with each project\, depending on who participates.

SUMMARY:Opening flour\, water\, soil
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the festive opening of flour\, water\, soil\, the upcoming exhibition at W139. During the evening\, there will be snacks by maria khatchadourian and Common Ground\, a custom flour\, water\, soil cocktail\, and live performances by participating artist Areej Ashhab and GalalaLive. \n\n\n\nflour\, water\, soil\, initiated by maria khatchadourian\, takes shape through new and adapted site-specific works by Areej Ashhab\, the duo Common Ground (Anna Celda and Saja Amro)\, Ola Hassanain\, maria khatchadourian\, Ai Ozaki and belit sağ. Together\, the works in the exhibition attend to soil\, seed\, water\, fermentation\, and ruin as sites where care and violence are entangled—holding stories of repair\, dispossession\, and continuity. \n\n\n\nGalalaLive will be performing Ya Quddus\, which takes the form of a mantra or prayer intended to offer resilience in challenging times. The performance will feature improvisation in sound and music\, drawing inspiration from Egyptian Sufi zikr and Coptic chants\, particularly as experienced during mawlid celebrations\, where rhythmic trance and collective devotion emerge through breathing\, repetition\, and poetry. \n\n\n\nGalalaLive is a dynamic sound collective founded in 2019 by Abdo Zin Eldin\, a Cairo- and Amsterdam-based multidisciplinary artist and Rijksakademie resident. Its fluid membership shifts in relation to each performance and context\, making each iteration distinct. The collective engages with sonic practices from communities in Egypt that are increasingly at risk of erasure—such as Sufi festivals (mawālid)\, popular weddings\, processions\, and raves—re-articulating them through collaboration with international musicians and sound artists. Their work explores ritual\, memory\, and improvisation\, positioning collective listening as a shared and potentially transcendent experience. They have presented work in venues and museums across Egypt and the Netherlands. \n\n\n\nVisual identity by Farah Fayyad. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by Amsterdam Fund for the Arts and Mondriaan Fund.

SUMMARY:Warmoes Biënnale: wasserette x zoektocht
DESCRIPTION:During the Warmoes Biënnale\, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will talk to waiting customers and passers-by about well-being. Stories\, perspectives\, and ideas on this topic will be collected during three pop-up editorial offices at the Effeness parcel point\, Happy Inn Laundromat\, and ORDER tattoo shop. At each location\, they will address a different subtopic of well-being: pakketpunt x hechten\, tattooshop x verlangen & wasserette x zoektocht. The findings will be published in three publications\, which will be available in the participating pavilions of the Warmoes Biennale. \n\n\n\nwasserette x zoektocht\n\n\n\nOn April 4\, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will arrive at Laundromat Happy Inn\, where the third editorial office will be located. Here\, they will be discussing community. How do people relate to each other? What does it mean to belong to a community? And how do you find one? What is a community\, anyway? Do you ever run errands for your neighbor\, or do you secretly not know who she is? Can we read the future of community in the Warmoesstraat in the clean laundry? What has your dirty laundry been through? We collect utopias\, reviews about neighbors\, advertisements from entrepreneurs promoting their contribution to the community\, and classified ads for social contacts. \n\n\n\nMul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is a collective that creates dynamic installations with a crossover between workshops\, public space installations\, and happenings through interactions with others. Their projects share a common focus on engaging with the environment and fostering exchanges with a diverse audience\, generating new imaginaries around the contexts the projects take place in.

This is a good moment to discuss what gives life meaning in a post-capitalist system. We collect definitions of meaning\, investigate whether people consider themselves meaningful\, and where the desire for meaning comes from. We collect stories\, thoughts\, wishes\, the feeling of meaning in Warmoesstraat\, tips and tricks for meaning\, classified ads\, and historical context about the welfare economy. \n\n\n\nMul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is a collective that creates dynamic installations with a crossover between workshops\, public space installations\, and happenings through interactions with others.

Here\, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will discuss materialistic satisfaction in relation to Warmoesstraat as a centuries-old center for trade. While you wait for your parcel\, there is just enough time for self-reflection\, an existential crisis\, or a mental breakdown. What did I order again? \n\n\n\nIn addition to collecting the contents of packages\, we ask questions such as: do you have what you want? Where does this desire for more come from? How do we position ourselves in a world that revolves around accumulating wealth and possessions? How do your possessions possess you? We collect reviews\, stories\, (un)realistic classified ads for (more) stuff\, the best object you can own. \n\n\n\nMul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is a collective that creates dynamic installations with a crossover between workshops\, public space installations\, and happenings through interactions with others.

The findings will be published in three publications\, which will be available in the participating pavilions of the Warmoes Biennale. \n\n\n\nIn the editorial office and in the publications\, we will explore how we can look at our surroundings differently while waiting. The Warmoesstraat and its surroundings are a playground for imagining new ways of being and other uses for space beyond the functional. The editorial offices and publications are places where we look at things differently\, question our surroundings\, search for something that is not there\, and create our own imaginings. \n\n\n\nMul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is a collective that creates dynamic installations with a crossover between workshops\, public space installations\, and happenings through interactions with others.

SUMMARY:Melted for Love – W139 Exhibition Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join our in-depth public tour of the exhibition Melted for Love at W139 – open to anyone who wishes to spend more time with the works\, ask questions\, and experience the exhibition through shared discussion rather than solitary viewing. Writers\, researchers\, students\, press\, and curious visitors are all welcome. This is an opportunity to move through the exhibition slowly with others\, guided by the curator. \n\n\n\nAt W139\, the exhibition includes works by Diana Policarpo and Bernardo Gaeiras\, who speculate on future uses of the former Bugio Lighthouse through radiophonic transmissions. Alina Schmuch – a participant in ALTERLIFE\, Sonic Acts’ major international research and residency programme with Rupert\, Vilnius – examines manipulated water systems shaped by drought and rising sea levels. You will also find new work by Lower Levant Company together with Olga Micińska\, who combine bat calls\, broadcasting\, and encrypted messages to reflect the ecological catastrophes wrought by colonial warfare in the Eastern Mediterranean. Adelita Husni-Bey restages Italian fascist archives\, exposing damaged infrastructures and extractivist legacies in Libya. Maeve Brennan explores the depths of a salt mine to question the violent writing and preservation of Western imperial power. \n\n\n\nThe tours across W139\, Arti et Amicitiae\, and Rozenstraat are led by Angeliki Tzortzakaki – curator of the three-venue exhibition of Sonic Acts Biennial 2026. It will expand the Biennial theme Melted for Love – examining how belonging\, care\, and home are negotiated under climate catastrophe\, colonial violence\, and forced displacement. \n\n\n\nProgrammeWednesday 4 March18:30-19:30 (W139)Language: English \n\n\n\nMore information: 2026.sonicacts.com

SUMMARY:Melted for Love – Comprehensive Exhibition Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join our guided tour across all three of the core exhibition venues of Sonic Acts Biennial 2026\, beginning at W139 and continuing to Arti et Amicitiae\, and Rozenstraat – each only a short walk apart. Taking place during the Festival Weekend\, this is the best way to experience the full exhibition constellation in a single flow. Open to all audiences\, the tour is for those who wish to spend time with the works in depth: visitors seeking context\, conversation\, and the pleasure of thinking together rather than alone. Students\, artists\, researchers\, press\, neighbours and curious participants are all welcome. \n\n\n\nLed by Angeliki Tzortzakaki\, curator of the Biennial’s three-venue exhibition\, the tour unfolds the central concerns of the Biennale’s theme Melted for Love: how belonging\, care\, and relation endure amidst climate catastrophe\, colonial violence\, and displacement. As the tour moves between venues\, visitors encounter installations\, films\, sound works\, and performance-based pieces that venerate the pressures placed on bodies\, lands\, and more-than-human worlds.  \n\n\n\nAlong the way\, visitors come across radiophonic experiments speculating on future uses of a lighthouse; reactivated colonial archives; underwater and underground stories of extraction; trembling river systems marked by forced displacement; textile lineages shaped by resistance; and collaborations with bats\, mangroves\, and ancient forests. These works ground the tour’s guiding questions: How do ecosystems absorb the weight of extractive histories? What forms of solidarity surface in moments of rupture? And where\, amid grief and ongoing struggle\, do gestures of love continue to take shape? \n\n\n\nProgrammeFriday 27 February 202614:00–17:15 (3 locations)Language: English \n\n\n\nMore information: 2026.sonicacts.com

SUMMARY:Melted for Love — Locating Lost Voices
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening that moves between research\, sonic fiction\, and the act of listening as resistance. The programme begins with an artist talk with Emiddio Vasquez of Lower Levant Company\, and Diana Policarpo\, who will introduce the research behind Bugio Radio Station\, focusing on echolocation and other techniques for tracing non-human sound. Together\, they discuss how listening can reveal the impact of militarisation and colonial infrastructure on surrounding ecosystems. \n\n\n\nThe night continues with Every Day Things Disappear by Urok Shirhan\, a live performance unfolding as a sonic fiction from the occupied land of ‘ABC’\, where words\, colours\, feelings – and eventually futures – are systematically erased. Told through a fragmented first-person narrator\, the work slips between satire and sorrow\, tracing the quiet violence of censorship. Blending spoken word with archival murmurs and encrypted song fragments\, it conjures a world where remembering becomes a subversive act. Every Day Things Disappear is both lament and code\, auto-myth and resistance ritual. It asks how we listen when speech dissolves and what songs take shape in silence.  \n\n\n\nThis programme is part of the Biennial exhibition Melted for Love at W139\, where Lower Levant Company’s and Diana Policarpo’s works are on display.  \n\n\n\nProgrammeWednesday 25 February18:00-20:00

SUMMARY:Sonic Acts Biennial 2026: Melted for Love
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Melted for Love\, taking place across W139\, Arti et Amicitiae\, and Rozenstraat\, as part of the Sonic Acts Biennial 2026\, explores how the notion of ‘home’ is being renegotiated by climate crisis\, colonial histories\, and forced displacement. The exhibition brings together installations\, films\, sound works\, and performances that reflect on how land\, bodies\, and ecosystems are shaped and altered by systems of exploitation. By listening to the echoes left behind\, it highlights gestures of love and connection with land and community as forms of resistance and repair. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nW139\n\n\n\nAt W139\, the exhibition focuses on how ecosystems absorb the pressures of militarisation\, colonial occupation\, and environmental disruption. The artworks follow different types of signals – such as sound waves\, vibrations\, radio transmissions\, and ecological changes – as they move across landscapes\, through subsurface networks\, and throughout the more-than-human world. \n\n\n\nLower Levant Company – the duo of sound artist Emiddio Vasquez and researcher-curator Peter Eramian – together with Polish artist Olga Micińska\, combine bat calls\, radio broadcasts\, and encrypted messages to reflect on the ecological catastrophies caused by colonial warfare in the Eastern Mediterranean. Diana Policarpo\, a Portuguese artist and composer\, and architect-researcher Bernardo Gaeiras speculate on the future regenerative uses of the former Bugio Lighthouse through radiophonic transmissions. Adelita Husni-Bey restages Italian fascist archives\, exposing damaged infrastructures and extractivist legacies in Libya. \n\n\n\nGerman visual artist Alina Schmuch – participating in ALTERLIFE\, Sonic Acts’ major international research and residency programme with Rupert in Vilnius – studies engineered water systems affected by drought and rising sea levels\, revealing how bodies are gradually excised from ‘natureculture’. Maeve Brennan\, a London-based filmmaker\, explores the depths of a salt mine to question the violent writing and preservation of Western imperial power. \n\n\n\nSonic Acts Biennial 2026: Melted for Love\n\n\n\nThe Sonic Acts Biennial 2026 takes place from 5 February to 29 March 2026 in Amsterdam\, with 80 events across 20 venues\, featuring work by 200+ artists.

SUMMARY:Gossib Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Gossib Gathering is a research-oriented workshop that explores what shared care and community around parenting could look like today. This edition invites fathers\, brothers; sons\, uncles\, friends\, and allies—all people who were raised or are perceived as men—to reflect on their role in pregnancy\, birth\, care\, and shared responsibility. \n\n\n\nBy using manual crafts—quilting and embroidery—as a meditative method\, we create space for attentive conversations about parenting\, emotional labor\, and the social and cultural systems that shape our ideas about care and family. The workshop explores which support practices have been lost\, which we can revive\, and how we can develop new forms of solidarity and responsibility today. \n\n\n\nThe name “Gossib” refers to the Old English Godsibb\, or “relative/spiritual neighbor.” In this workshop\, we reclaim the word as a role of listening\, caring\, and supportive alliance. This edition\, in collaboration with Hannah Kindler\, focuses specifically on people who do not give birth themselves and invites reflection and practice around shared care and community. \n\n\n\nThe gathering is free or you can “pay what you can” we suggest an amount between €5 – €20. \n\n\n\nSign up for the workshop via this link. \n\n\n\nSanne Freijdag is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher working with textile\, installation\, film\, and photography. Her practice opens a space where the “natural” is questioned as a human construct\, examining traditions and rituals as recent formations shaped by productivity. Through embodied and material research\, she explores care\, interdependence\, and collective memory. \n\n\n\nHannah Kindler is an artist whose practice explores feminist knowledge\, care and embodied memory through textiles\, sculpture\, performance and media. Drawing on archival research and historical imagery\, her work examines how power\, gender and material histories are inscribed\, transmitted and disrupted through bodies and objects. She lives and works in Freiburg\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Gen Alpha 'Pataphysics
DESCRIPTION:Gen Alpha ’Pataphysics is a film documenting a think tank style workshop with children born after 2010\, centred on the theme of money. Developed in collaboration with art educator Studio Dicky\, the workshop invited participants to collectively imagine and govern a fictional city\, determining how resources should be allocated and which values might underpin economic life. \n\n\n\nThe film combines scripted text\, open discussion and a collaborative role playing game. Ideas surface through logical fallacies\, non sequiturs and cognitive leaps\, as participants test the coherence of an invented system in real time. What begins as a structured moral and civic debate gradually becomes unstable: as fake currency\, theft and improvised rules are introduced\, the system is enacted to the point of breakdown.  \n\n\n\nThe film forms part of the broader Gen Alpha ’Pataphysics project: a series of workshops using drawing\, writing\, acting and speculative design to examine how children understand and reimagine the systems that organise their lives. Alongside the workshop on money\, participants also developed the Union of Supernatural Conservation\, an imagined organisation advocating for the rights and housing of supernatural beings such as fairies and elves\, which is planned to be legally established in Amsterdam concurrent with the film’s screening. While not the focus of the work on show\, this parallel strand clarifies the project’s wider methodology: treating children’s speculative reasoning not as metaphor but as a workable model for thinking through governance\, care and collective responsibility. \n\n\n\nRather than positioning children as future citizens in preparation\, Gen Alpha ’Pataphysics treats them as contributors to the present; the film maintains space for uncertainty\, contradiction and novelty\, allowing ideas to unfold without resolution or didactic framing. In doing so\, it offers a view of economic imagination shaped by lived experience\, intuition and play\, exposing both the fragility and the productive limits of the systems we continue to inherit and reproduce. \n\n\n\nAaron McLaughlin is an artist and curator based in Amsterdam. Working with those marginalised by institutional processes and appropriating common forms\, his practice joins objects\, procedures and communities to reframe accessibility and question how art contexts control flows of people\, ideas and aesthetics.

SUMMARY:Para-siting: phANTASMAL HAIRSALON
DESCRIPTION:phANTASMAL HAIRSALON is a multidisciplinary art exhibition and performance choreographed by Raoni Muzho Saleh in co-creation with Karin Iturralde Nurnberg. W139 will transform into a campy\, draggy hair salon where members of the public—the Clients—undergo a fabulous (or fabulously wrong) performative hair transformation by wearing a sculptural hairstyle while the rest of the public watches the performance. \n\n\n\nBook an appointment\, get crowned with a sculptural hairdo by the Hairstylist—a shady yet passionate character—and then strut it outside. Wearing our avant-garde\, fabulous hair-do (or hair-don’t)\, you turn the streets into a campy moving exhibition and a cheeky drag protest against a sterilized world. phANTASMAL HAIRSALON aims to bring back\, albeit momentarily\, the old days when uncanny\, colorful figures would prance the streets proudly. Be aware that there is no cutting involved—but a revival of look and spirit is guaranteed. \n\n\n\nA Hairstylist tries to realize his long live dream of becoming a Super Star who steals ALL the lights on EVERY stage. Together with Clara Saito as The Mentor\, every hairdo/hairdon’t\, becomes an opportunity to shine on the stage. Sign up for a hairdo or hairdon’t to help make the Hairstylist dream come true! We need you! \n\n\n\nSign up here for an appointment with the hairdresser! \n\n\n\nRaoni/Muzho Saleh is a Hazara/Dutch artist using performance\, installation and the sound of mourning and moaning to twist and reshape narratives of (cultural) becoming. His work’s focus is to play with the personal\, social and political edges. Imbuing his love for art\, with body\, spirit and politics through movement\, voice and textile\, he creates temporary immersions into Otherworldly feeling\, relations and thought. \n\n\n\nKarin Iturralde Nurnberg is an artist working with storytelling in multidisciplinary and sculptural installations. She is born and raised in Ecuador and lives and works in Amsterdam. In her practice she embraces improvisation and the power of spontaneous performative and sculptural interventions\, to re-arrange the world around her and shift weighted positions. \n\n\n\nPhotos by Diego Diez

SUMMARY:SNDO: D.R.E.D.G.E.
DESCRIPTION:SNDO presents: D.R.E.D.G.E. by Elisa Zuppini and Toni Steffens\, in collaboration with musician Soraya Lutangu Bonaventure and SNDO 2 & 3. A program with guest appearances by Pauline de Groot and Thomas Lehmen. \n\n\n\nD.R.E.D.G.E. 2025 is a work by Elisa Zuppini and Toni Steffens\, created at the invitation of SNDO – School for New Dance Development. Over the course of a two-week workshop\, they engaged with second- and third-year students\, leading toward public presentations in December. \n\n\n\nAs part of the 50-year jubilee marking the founding of SNDO\, Elisa and Toni entered into dialogue with Pauline de Groot\, exploring her extensive choreographic oeuvre and its new life within the online archive (paulinedegroot.nl). During the Performing the Archive: Pauline de Groot Festival in November 2024 at Plein Theater—hosted and curated by Fransien van der Putt—they shared their initial explorations of Pauline’s choreographies. Extending this intergenerational dialogue between choreographers who share lineages and references yet diverge into their own distinct practices\, SNDO invited Elisa and Toni to take the next step. \n\n\n\nDuring the 50-year celebration in June 2025\, Pauline performed a duet with fellow SNDO alumnus Thomas Lehmen. This meeting evolved into ongoing weekly movement practice sessions at the Academy of Theatre and Dance. \n\n\n\nLines and lineages of vigor and persistence—bodies and dances—will converge in two days of public presentations. The program features a duet by Pauline de Groot and Thomas Lehmen\, followed by D.R.E.D.G.E.\, the choreography by Elisa Zuppini and Toni Steffens\, performed together with 16 SNDO students. Costume and styling by Noam Gil Shuster. \n\n\n\nTicketsYou can reserve tickets online here \n\n\n\nD.R.E.D.G.E. explores possibilities for giving a body to both the friction and coalescence of different time zones interfering with one another. Revolving around the joy of dance\, this process is an experiment in testing movement lineages and histories of practices. \n\n\n\nSNDO – School for New Dance Development offers a full time four-year professional education course leading to a Bachelor’s degree in Art – Choreography. The school was founded in 1975 as an attempt to find new directions for dance next to the existing forms and styles that dominated the field. After fifty years\, the SNDO remains inquisitive\, open minded\, and in the foreground of progressive developments in the fields of dance and performance. In the curriculum\, the school establishes the conditions from which the creativity of the student can emerge. Reflection on the specific qualities of dance and performance as art forms is developed\, and awareness of the body and the artistic\, social and political implications of working with it take precedence. The SNDO is part of Academy of Theatre and Dance at the Amsterdam University of the Arts.

It has since grown into an international platform with a mission to explore the often fraught\, always complex relationship between the price and the value of an artwork\, focusing on dead darlings—works an artist has created but never brought to light. Inspired by “kill your darlings\,” they ask: what becomes of these ambivalent works. \n\n\n\nAslı Hatipoğlu (TH/TR) is an interdisciplinary artist whose social practice focuses on curating participatory dinners and installations that shed light on how culinary history and agricultural politics are changing our relationship to food. From working with micro-scale bacteria and yeasts responsible for fermentation to insects such as the domesticated silkworm\, Asli critically investigates ways of relating to our environment and ourselves. Currently she has been working with the shifting narrative of an artist and a tour-guide\, merging fiction and reality with story-telling in performative acts as a way to critically question today’s systems of production as a marketable tourist destination. \n\n\n\nPhotos by Kyle Tryhorn

SUMMARY:FLUSH #9: Pest Revenge
DESCRIPTION:“Pest Revenge” is a sculptural duo exhibition at W139 by Rotterdam-based artists Clem Edwards and Natalia Sorzano. It is the second iteration of their collaboration\, which began in the summer of 2024 at Brutus Rotterdam with the exhibition Trash Revenge.  \n\n\n\nThis current revenge will consist of a series of sculptures made from accessible and found objects and materials symbolizing animals and insects that are considered unwanted\, invasive\, toxic and/or negative in the local urban context\, i.e. rats\, pigeons\, mosquitos\, parakeets\, tics\, cockroaches\, bed bugs and silverfish. They will use the spatial qualities of FLUSH  to experiment with exhibition-making as a tool for storytelling.  \n\n\n\nThematically Clem and Natalia are interested in exploring the idea of toxicity. What or who designates other life as ‘outside’\, ‘invasive’ or ‘dangerous’? Without disregarding the infrastructural and health-based threats posed by the common rat (Rattus norvegicus) in the Netherlands\, how or why is this rat\, which is indigenous to the region\, designated as toxic? What stories do we tell ourselves to make this so? The common rat even has a hotline dedicated to its eradication on the Rotterdam municipality’s website. They are two artists from countries with their own unique flora and fauna\, both of which were colonized by European states that introduced flora and fauna and modes of relating to life-worlds that devastated the landscapes. So they are particularly interested in how notions of the ‘unwanted’ work in the Western European context.  \n\n\n\nWe are happy to end the year 2025 of FLUSH with our friends Nika and Clem and their pest revenge. This has been a one year conversation and we are happy that it is finally materializing.  \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this last moment of togetherness\, before the winter holidays.  \n\n\n\nAs we keep doing things with our friends\, we realize we are finding a way to have agency of our realities as artists. \n\n\n\nOn view until 13 December. \n\n\n\nFLUSH is a flourishing collaboration between Espacio Estamos Bien and W139\, located in the toilets of W139. FLUSH operates as a flexible form of organizing and creating\, enabling various types of collaboration. FLUSH aims to foster inter-local relationships\, viewing Amsterdam as a hub for facilitating diverse interactions and building connections that bridge distances. Joyful\, friendly and decentralized connections extend beyond the Amsterdam art scene.

SUMMARY:DNK Amsterdam Experimental Music Festival Weekend — Day 2
DESCRIPTION:DNK Amsterdam invites you to a participatory performance on Beursplein. The Social Music Club plays To Cast A Net… by Koen Nutters: a group piece for sine tones in the public space. \n\n\n\nTo Cast A Net… is a piece that asks performers to gather and create an electronic net\, cast over the auditory reality of everyday life\, by simply playing one electronic tone of a particular height on each on their phones\, and thereby augmenting and highlighting the public space we are occupying.  \n\n\n\nThe tones will create subtle beatings with each other and with sounds in the environment while performers slowly switch places\, and form a moment and place for intensified listening to the world while abiding in the open city for a performative pause\, a moment to reflect on the use and function of public space\, society as a whole\, and our place in it\, as people\, artists\, and sounding entities. \n\n\n\nPlease sign up in advance if you want to participate. Please send an email to koennutters@gmail.comBring an umbrella in case of rain \n\n\n\nStart performance — 15:00Location — Beursplein \n\n\n\nThe Social Music Club is a loose collective of musicians and non-musicians who regularly come together to listen\, make sound\, talk about interaction\, and try different types of text scores and exercises from the book Search & Reflect: A Music Workshop Handbook\, compiled by students of the late percussionist\, improviser\, and teacher John Stevens. \n\n\n\nDNK Agenda

SUMMARY:DNK Amsterdam Experimental Music Festival Weekend — Day 1
DESCRIPTION:In the context of the DNK is DONE… residency DNK Amsterdam presents a concert night with two sets of cutting edge and quite classical experimental music by a quartet of young musicians based in The Hague and an ensemble of ragtag experimentalists\, professionals and hobbyists alike\, from the Amsterdam region aka The Social Music Club. \n\n\n\nProgrammeSaturday 22 NovemberMontoriol\, Eckhardt\, McGuire\, & De Gendt — Simultaneous / Synchronous (Song)The Social Music Club — Stones (Christian Wolff) and The Great Learning – Paragraph 7 (Cornelius Cardew)Afterwards music by the DNK DJ team \n\n\n\nRoc Montoriol\, Jacob Eckhardt\, Lawrence McGuire\, Cis De Gendt are a The Hague-based quartet\, sharing an interest in perception and attention in relation to presentation formats\, playback media\, volumes and space-time. Their work currently utilizes amplification\, sound recordings\, electro-acoustic devices\, objects\, and voice.  \n\n\n\nFor this performance at W139\, they reimagine DNK ensemble’s 2017 performance: Simultaneous / Synchronous (Song) with (synthetic) voice and non-pitched sound materials layered across a range of playback devices. They take inspiration from its forming of relations\, the structural repetition of re-starting and re-shifting\, and the masking that occurs. \n\n\n\nWatch a version of the original performance here. \n\n\n\nThe Social Music Club is a loose collective of musicians and non-musicians who regularly come together to listen\, make sound\, and talk about interaction. They try different types of text scores and exercises from the book Search & Reflect: A Music Workshop Handbook\, compiled by students of the late percussionist\, improviser\, and teacher John Stevens. \n\n\n\nThey will perform a simultaneous performance of Christian Wolff’s Stones and Cornelius Cardew’s The Great Learning – Paragraph 7. \n\n\n\nDNK Agenda

SUMMARY:Para-siting: phANTASMAL HAIRSALON
DESCRIPTION:phANTASMAL HAIRSALON is a multidisciplinary art exhibition and performance choreographed by Raoni Muzho Saleh in co-creation with Karin Iturralde Nurnberg. W139 will transform into a campy\, draggy hair salon where members of the public—the Clients—undergo a fabulous (or fabulously wrong) performative hair transformation by wearing a sculptural hairstyle while the rest of the public watches the performance. \n\n\n\nBook an appointment\, get crowned with a sculptural hairdo by the Hairstylist—a shady yet passionate character—and then strut it outside. Wearing our avant-garde\, fabulous hair-do (or hair-don’t)\, you turn the streets into a campy moving exhibition and a cheeky drag protest against a sterilized world. phANTASMAL HAIRSALON aims to bring back\, albeit momentarily\, the old days when uncanny\, colorful figures would prance the streets proudly. Be aware that there is no cutting involved—but a revival of look and spirit is guaranteed. \n\n\n\nphANTASMAL HAIRSALON openingsdagen — Friday 21 November 18:00-21:00 opening of phANTASMAL HAIRSALON — Sunday 23 November 14:00-17:00 HAIRSALON open\, with Raoni and Taka Taka— Wednesday 17 December 14:00-17:00 HAIRSALON open\, with Raoni and Clara Saito — Friday 19 December 14:00-17:00 HAIRSALON open\, with Raoni and Clara Saito \n\n\n\nSign up here for your appointment with the hairdresser!  \n\n\n\nRaoni/Muzho Saleh is a Hazara/Dutch artist using performance\, installation and the sound of mourning and moaning to twist and reshape narratives of (cultural) becoming. His work’s focus is to play with the personal\, social and political edges. Imbuing his love for art\, with body\, spirit and politics through movement\, voice and textile\, he creates temporary immersions into Otherworldly feeling\, relations and thought. \n\n\n\nKarin Iturralde Nurnberg is an artist working with storytelling in multidisciplinary and sculptural installations. She is born and raised in Ecuador and lives and works in Amsterdam. In her practice she embraces improvisation and the power of spontaneous performative and sculptural interventions\, to re-arrange the world around her and shift weighted positions.

She performs as a multimedia soloist and in projects both live and online and is one of the composer/performers in the Amsterdam based ensemble MAZE. \n\n\n\nIn 1999\, together with Steve Heather and Cor Fuhler\, she founded Kraakgeluiden\, an improvisation series based in Amsterdam\, exploring combinations of acoustic and electronic instruments using real-time interactive performance systems. Many of the resulting musical collaborations have taken on a life beyond the Kraakgeluiden series\, which ceased in 2006. \n\n\n\nLa Berge will perform Third Nature\, a performance with storytelling\, processed flute\, synthesized and sampled audio\, sirens\, improvisations and other stuff. It includes parts of her compositions from 2005 to ones that are currently works-in-progress. \n\n\n\nGert-Jan Prins (b. 1961 in IJmuiden) focuses on the sonic and musical qualities of electronic noise and percussion\, and investigates their relationship with the visual. While he started his career as a drummer\, his works now include performances\, sound installations\, compositions\, electronic circuits\, and numerous collaborations with other musicians\, visual artists\, composers\, and dancers. \n\n\n\nDNK Agenda
