SUMMARY:m(A)ke (M)e y(O)u(U)rs: Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:When the old swords are being sharpened again\, MANY finds themselves—as do many more—claiming LOVE as the antidote. But what if love and relationships as we learned them\, are chained to the systems of violence we want to end? How can we exit the loop by loving\, caring\, and desiring differently? \n\n\n\nThese are the questions that bind us to the m(A)ke (M)e y(O)u(U)rs reading club\, and the desire to share them with MANY.  \n\n\n\nMANY is kicking off the reading club with four reading sessions on love\, desire\, and relationships at Para-siting. MANY will especially focus on DESIRE and how to de-link it from ownership and achievement. \n\n\n\nThis event is free of charge.  \n\n\n\nReserve your spot here! \n\n\n\nFor more information on accessibility see Contact & Visit. \n\n\n\nMANY is an Amsterdam-based platform that emerges with a desire to de-link knowledge and artistic production from traditional notions of authorship. During Para-siting\, MANY is configured by Aion Arribas\, Ainhoa Hernández Escudero\, Michael Scerbo\, Jiji Jizu\, the W139 team and the participants of the public activities\, with the support of Artists Circle.

SUMMARY:kiln as kin: a day of gathering\, firing\, cooking
DESCRIPTION:“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. \n\n\n\nUsing 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. \n\n\n\nThe residency of colectivo amasijo is part of the Exchanges programme by the Prince Claus Fund\, with the support of the Amsterdam City Council. \n\n\n\nTicket: €10Student and solidarity ticket: €7\,50 \n\n\n\nBuy your tickets via Eventbrite \n\n\n\nLocation: Four Siblings\, President Allendelaan 1\, 1064 GW Amsterdam \n\n\n\ncolectivo 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. \n\n\n\nInstagram colectivo amasijo \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\nInstagram Tatiana M. Melo \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. \n\n\n\nWebsite Four Siblings

SUMMARY:after afterlives: film screening and talk programme
DESCRIPTION: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.  \n\n\n\nAreej 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. \n\n\n\nWe 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.   \n\n\n\nOla 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.  \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nTicket: €7\,50Student and solidarity ticket: €5 \n\n\n\nBuy your tickets via Eventbrite. \n\n\n\nAreej 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. \n\n\n\nOla 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”. \n\n\n\nDina 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.

SUMMARY:flour must be… — learning session 1
DESCRIPTION:Common Ground welcomes you to the first activation of Flour Must Be Cheap\, an installation that becomes a learning space\, and a work site. We begin with a question: must flour be cheap? From there\, we let it unfold through stories\, bodies\, knowings\, and speculations— these become the curriculum. \n\n\n\nAbove us\, a constellation of collected flour bags. Beneath us\, sacks holding the weight of hunger\, of resistance\, of distance traveled from field to mill to bakery to hand. We’ll lie with that weight\, carry it\, rearrange it\, and feel what it does to the body\, how pressure grounds us\, how heaviness speaks through us. \n\n\n\nTogether we’ll move through conversations about food systems\, mills and grain\, food autonomy\, aid\, and famine\, and the quiet violence of a price that was never really just about the mere cost of flour. Bring your stories\, questions\, and hands\, and join this learning session with Common Ground to experience the contrast of lightness and heaviness of the work Flour Must Be Cheap.  \n\n\n\nFor this event our normal entry ticket prices are applicable. For more info see Contact & Visit. \n\n\n\nSpots are limited\, reserve your spot via Eventbrite.Common Ground is a collaborative artistic project by Anna Celda and Saja Amro. Using the dining table and kitchen as learning environments\, their projects delve into topics such as female labour\, inherited knowledge\, and food/famine as a tool for control through different research objects. Their work often materialises in spaces of shared labour\, such as workshops or moments spent cooking together\, where the conversations and sensory experiences are at the center\, sparking reflection and connection with one another.

SUMMARY:Crippissage: A Healthy Gathering
DESCRIPTION:During their time Para-siting\, Pırıltı and Ilja tried to attend to herbs\, bodies and urban ecologies\, forming beautiful connections with the creatures whom they crossed paths with along the way. Pırıltı and Ilja continue to ask what it is that makes something crip\, and how might we understand the inherent cripness of urban space with its feral and adaptive life forms? Gathering\, processing and being with the resilient\, vulnerable\, humble and abundant plants of the city\, they opened up a fantasy world within W139. \n\n\n\nStarting from material health conditions\, this final programme moves into an imaginative ecology shaped by contradictions and ambivalences around cultures of healing in the city. For whom and why do we need herbal medicinal knowledge? How can solidarities be shared\, and which storytelling practices might lead to a crip imagination?  \n\n\n\nWe invite you to this closing minisymposium to be with Pırıltı and Ilja\, and their guests. Pırıltı and Ilja will tend to the city’s microbiome\, the sick garden\, queer hormonal sewage ecosystems and sweet water mermaids. Urban folklore becomes a site to ask whether ecological wounding can be addressed through the bodies of rivers and humans\, and whether storytelling can hold space for mourning. The gathering insists on staying with dirt\, inequality and access to healthcare\, holding together imagination and the conditions that shape it. Afterwards you are invited to taste and smell the many different things that Pırıltı and Ilja have been inviting into the space.  \n\n\n\nThe event is free. \n\n\n\nReserve your spot here! \n\n\n\nProgramme17:00 – 17:20 Opening intro17:20 – 17:40 Toni17:40 – 18:00 Lynn18:00 – 18:10 Pee break18:10 – 18:30 Bogna18:30 – 18:50 Maya18:50 – 19:10 Q+A19:10 – 20:00 Drinks\, bites and fake healing corner \n\n\n\nToni Kritzer will talk about ‘The Sick Garden’ which entangles Toni’s story of illness with that of a garden in need of care\, questioning narratives of illness and healing within ecosystems. Along with slugs\, viruses\, and other crip comrades\, they speak of interdependency and more-than-human care webs.  \n\n\n\nLynn Shore will contribute by sharing insights into her urban dwelling\, her foraging practice in the city\, and the effects on her gut microbiome after one month of eating foraged food. \n\n\n\nBogna Bochińska will contribute a text and exercise on sweet water mermaids and urban folklore\, exploring the urban mermaid and storytelling practices as ways of engaging with wounds and re-enacting magical creatures as tools for thinking. \n\n\n\nMaya Erin Masuda‘s talk Pharmaco-pornographic: Toxic Queerness and Molecular Intimacy discusses how larger governing bodies permeate soft\, individual boundaries from molecular scales\, affecting our views on reproduction and bodily autonomy. \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.  \n\n\n\nAccessibility infoHerbal safety: Consumption of herbs or salves during the event is entirely optional. We do not seek to offer medical advice as we are only learning and finding our ways in a vast field of knowledge.

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. 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. \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.

SUMMARY:Urban Healing Fabulation: Participatory Performance
DESCRIPTION:So\, we have the herbs. We have the salves\, the tinctures\, the macerations and the fermentations. We have been asking questions about the witches put on trial just around the corner at the Dam square\, finding out that we might not be too far away. But what does a modern day crip healer do? How and what do they heal? What is health anyway? Join us for a Healing Fabulation where we carefully listen to your problems and offer health to your late stage capitalism induced chronic conditions (!).  \n\n\n\nOur Para-siting space is located on the first floor which can only be reached via a set of stairs.

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.

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.

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:Para-siting: Cripping Warmoesstraat
DESCRIPTION:Cripping Warmoesstraat is an inquiry into crip* embodiment in Amsterdam through herbalist practices and solidarity networks. Working with the seasonality and cartography of plants\, fungi\, and bacteria that persist in the city\, they aim to create a space where being crip* can coexist with healing. Through foraging\, cooking\, fermenting\, tasting\, and smelling\, they will engage the immediate bindings between bodies and environments—playing with the contradictions in what it means to be “healthy.” \n\n\n\nAt W139\, they will build a makeshift lab-kitchen\, (role)play with herbalist traditions\, trickster histories\, and para-sitic relations. Situated in the gritty consumerism of Warmoesstraat\, we explore healing as messy\, collective\, and ongoing by inviting publics\, plants\, and microorganisms into shared processes of critical play. In the lab-kitchen at W139\, they will question and twist the notion of healing through shared practices\, paying homage to the witches that were put on trial at the Dam square\, and search for new entry points into healing through shared practices. \n\n\n\nIlja Schamlé and Pırıltı Onukar met during their studies at the Artistic Research masters programme at the University of Amsterdam. As two people living with metabolic and autoimmune chronic conditions\, they move through the city attentive to the entangled metabolics of health\, food\, and urban life itself. \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: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.

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.

SUMMARY:Warmoes Biënnale: Wie we welzijn
DESCRIPTION:During the Warmoes Biënnale\, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will talk to waiting customers and passers-by about well-being. Where does this issue stand in Amsterdam’s city center? What factors influence it? 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: parcel point x attachment\, tattoo shop x desire\, and laundromat x search. 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. 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. \n\n\n\nAbout the Warmoes Biënnale\n\n\n\nFor two months\, artists\, entrepreneurs\, cultural institutions\, and residents join forces to reveal the pulse of this neighbourhood. With art ranging from intimate to monumental—often in surprising locations—alongside events and genuine local hospitality\, the festival offers a new perspective on this contested\, yet deeply loved part of the city. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, visit the website of the Warmoes Biënnale.

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.

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
