The cohort of de Appel COOP Living Room: Rehearsals for Placemaking, as part of the Dutch Art Institute (DAI) masters programme, would like to invite you to their living room, temporarily constructed at de Appel. Here they read, honour, and reflect on the writings of those whose freedom has been denied, by translating letters by Palestinian political prisoners.
Open Call: Mural de Nieuwe Meent
de Appel is pleased to announce a new collaborative project with Framer Framed, If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution and the housing cooperative de Nieuwe Meent (dNM). As part of this collaboration, we are launching an open call for a mural that will inhabit the building’s north facade.

The sessions will trace the evolution of Tatreez from early village customs to its role as a medium of political expression among Palestinian women who advanced community leadership initiatives during the Intifada. The workshop will also address current practices, digital preservation, and the symbolism of Tatreez as an embodiment of love and resilience, carrying forward Palestinian women’s matriarchal insistence on memory.
