Activations for a new location
De Appel is fortunate to have found a home for the coming several years. What does a home for a cultural institution mean? And how can we warm it up together for the coming years? We would like to start the year together, thinking about land and housing in poetic and practical ways.

Mourning Sociality by Raoni/Muzho Saleh and
Caer Ascendiendo by Francisca Khamis Giacoman
Mourning Sociality by Raoni/Muzho Saleh and
Caer Ascendiendo by Francisca Khamis Giacoman
Mourning Sociality is a ceremony facilitated by choreographer Raoni/Muzho Saleh, that centers socialising through the collective practice of grief. It is a 4 hour participatory event that honours collective gathering by way of moaning and mourning as an expression of love for loss. In Caer Ascendiendo two performers unfold an object in response to a set of instructions. Embedded within these instructions is the unfolding of a story—the narrative of the artists’ family migration from Palestine to Chile, highlighting its connection to the textile industry, specifically through the creation of a parachute.

Still in my quotidian Lecture-performance by Siwar Kraytem met

Betül Aksu, Alev Ersan and Hanieh Fatouraee
The lecture performance takes on language as a confrontational tool. It addresses language in relation to questions of privilege, hierarchy, and precarity, reflecting on multilingualism and society and tools of social negotiation. Still in my quotidian is a housewarming of sorts for a stranger in Amsterdam, a long awaited one. As Siwar receives their residency permit to stay another two years here, they question what it means to stay in Amsterdam, find space and allow for their language to claim space.

The Diver by Jumana Emil Abboud and
Translating Ulysses by Aylin Kuryel and Fırat Yücel
The Diver by Jumana Emil Abboud and
Translating Ulysses by Aylin Kuryel and Fırat Yücel
The video narrative tells the story of a Diver who is anonymous in gender, name, and nationality, and is on an endless search to find ‘Heart’. The places the Diver visits are nameless, referred to only as "earth, sea, sky, and snow." They are unclaimed territories the Diver passes through on his/her quest for ‘Heart’. Using the diving suit as the ultimate veil, disguise or defense mechanism, the Diver’s world (as his/her identity), is somewhat ambiguous, unknown, unclaimed.

The audio essay was ignited by an invitation from The Input Party’s collaboration with the Institute of Social History in Amsterdam (IISG). During the visit to the IISG Alina found and was captivated by pictures of the squat De Kalenderpanden. Commissioned by Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee radio, under the curatorial guidance of Radna Rumping, she had the support to embark on a research that would take more than a year. The piece would later be broadcast under the Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee series 'Near Histories'.
