The Power of the Shared Meal: Presentation and Panel Discussion with April Gertler and Yasaman Owrang
Time : 19:00-20:00
diverse experiences and stories that will bring us to the long parallel histories of apple tart, gatherings, running a kitchen for the community, and reflections of those activities in the time of cyber-community making.
April Gertler is an American multidisciplinary artist who has been living and working in Berlin, Germany, since 2005. April’s work is social practice-based and is realized through lecture-performance, self-published artist books, social-sculpture, and artist walks. She moves fluidly between artistic practice, curatorial production, and pedagogy. While she is currently developing a new project space called WIRWIR (wirwir.org) in Berlin with her partner Adrian Schiesser, she also continues to work on a variety of other projects, which include; IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS (a series of interactive artist walks), started in 2013, SONNTAG (a project space existing in other people’s living rooms on a Sunday afternoon) in collaboration with Adrian Schiesser, started in 2012; and TAKE THE CAKE (a lecture-performance baking series), started in 2015. An overarching theme within her practice is creating spaces for dialoguing and exchange through diverse methods.
her practice, she is finding new ways to approach the concept of exchange
through online platforms and simply through windows in her flat. April also is the Founding Director of PICTURE BERLIN, an artist residency and peer – to – peer exchange program which she started in 2009 and has been an Adjunct Professor of Photography at Bard College Berlin since 2016.

Met pijn in ons hart moeten we mededelen dat onze keuken voorlopig zal sluiten. De kleine hoeveelheid bestellingen en de hoge winter onkosten maken het helaas onhoudbaar om open te blijven. We kijken er naar uit de keuken te heropenen wanneer de situatie verbeterd. Elke donderdag kun je nog steeds genieten van ons radio programma op www.tijdenvannood.com!
We begrijpen dat deze tijden zwaar zijn geweest voor iedereen. Als je ons wilt ondersteunen, kun je nog steeds een directe donatie doen naar ons bankaccount.
We hopen onze deuren snel weer te openen, tot dan, blijf veilig!

For Quinta Bies, the smart lock down was something she very much liked! It created time and silence to do what she likes to do the most. “Nothing special, just following the hands. I found cartons in a container and I started to make some international signs for Tankstation! Gewoon, omdat ik het leuk vond om te doen. “

“Watch it evolve”
We started a little garden! Not as one would wish but with what we’ve got! Some quarantine time, a bit of sunlight, soil, seeds, a bit of knowledge, a lot of helping hands with hope, enthusiasm and patience! Watch how it evolves, maybe it grows or does not! Doesn’t matter! Let’s just try! Maybe you also give it a go, put your fingers in the soil, make your own in pots, at home! And share your seedlings, if you are that far!

What was first : the word or the image.
Poet and artist Stefanie van Tuinen is from Enschede. She uses both media to express her experiences.
In her works of art she is often looking for the contrast between the inner and outer world of herself and her surroundings.
Mostly she will leave her public behind with a stilled smile, distressing feelings or even both.
Working in an involvement from a distance, one of the titel’s of her works says :
´´ I rather like to live in a sort of negative, to let myself shine ´

Since she moved to the Netherlands in the summer of 2019, she has been performing regularly all over the country including reaching the finals of the Utrecht Comedy Talent Award competition.

Rogier Bak is an actor and comedian. He is Dutch, but has worked incredibly hard to make sure you could never tell. Having spent his formative years in the US, he feels like a foreigner in his own country. He regularly performs and hosts shows across the Netherlands, and appeared in the finals of the 2020 Comedy Talent Award. Follow him on Instagram and Twitter @rogierbak. For Rogier’s show schedule, head over to rogierbak.com/schedule.
Hermes Ahmadi has always been fascinated by human behaviour, so he decided to study sociology. When he found out humanity is even weirder than science can explain, the logical step for him was to become a comedian. But let’s be honest, he himself isn’t normal either, with his weird diet and hitch-hiking habits!
Fedor Ikelaar – He always felt a bit out of place in his native country Netherlands. So, a few years ago he left home to live in Nepal, where he feels even more out of place. Nowadays, he is one of the biggest English language comedians in Nepal, as he is quite tall. A full-time touring comedian, Fedor regales audiences all over the world with stories of being surrounded by spiritual Nepalese, opium dealers and forgotten hippies. He mostly fits himself in one of the aforementioned categories except at international airports ~ where he goes to hold on to his Dutch passport.
Fedor founded Top of the World Comedy, and recently organized Nepal’s first international comedy festival. As a co-founder of the Nepal-based comedy collective, Comedy Tuk Tuk, he tries to help up-and-coming local talent by staring down at them.

HUSH – VOL 1: Dan Tuffy /nl/aus
Australian/Dutch musician Dan Tuffy. Here it is, now!
Dan’s songs are centered around his great gift for storytelling. Musically, his songwriting sits comfortably and unashamedly alongside classics delivered by Nick Cave, Tom Waits or Bob Dylan on “Blood On The Tracks”. But there is no copycat stuff going on here. Tuffy has either ignored his influences or absorbed them at a cellular level. It’s unclear which, but his laments of lost love, dying cowboys, longing, self-loathing and betrayal are so unaffected and direct that they cannot help being anything but unique in their expression.
We are very much looking forward to this evening and there are plans for more hush sessions in future. Stay tuned!
