At the last open gathering, we had an inspiring conversation with the Home of Participation artists-in-residence Andrei Bessa, Nuka Horvat and Somer Şpat.

For the open gathering #7, we invite you to join us at the HoP Artist-in-Residence Showcase: Workshopping, Performing, Listening: Reassign Disobedience, at 4bid Gallery | OT301, on the 26th September from 16:30 to 22:00.

For three months, the artists have developed their practices in Amsterdam through artistic research, experimentation, and exchange. The showcase brings together three distinct artistic propositions across the afternoon and evening. They belong to the same residency and curatorial context, but each event can be experienced independently.

Disobedience = Creativity Zine Workshop by Nuka Horvat
From 16:30 to 18:30 at 4bid Gallery

What can disobedience teach us about creativity?
Together, we’ll reflect on our positions in society and explore creativity as a tool for imagining and building different ways of living. We’ll play with forms and ideas of civil and social disobedience as creative practice, experimenting with zines, poetry, diary entries, drawings, questions and other forms of expression.
No previous experience is needed.

A broadcast can transmit a situation.
It can also create one.

But what can a broadcast do in a precarious time?
