For Hi, Jack! Publishing’s project at Dappermarkt, they focus on gleaning; collecting what is left behind or overlooked, as both a method and a lens on contemporary economies, where reuse, precarity, and informal circulation increasingly shape everyday life. During the market, they will produce a zine on site using discarded materials such as packaging, food remnants, and found images, alongside drawings and contributions from visitors, turning the publication into a collective portrait of the market.

Central to this process are the pigeons and seagulls that inhabit the Dappermarkt, understood as non-human co-producers and expert gleaners whose survival depends on the market’s rhythms of excess and waste; their presence highlights an overlooked multispecies economy in which human trade continuously generates the conditions for other forms of life and labour. By drawing attention to these birds and their role in redistributing what is left behind, the project connects ecological and economic systems, suggesting that gleaning is not only a marginal activity but a fundamental, shared practice across species. The zine will be printed locally and distributed during the market for a small donation, with proceeds supporting SOS Duif, extending the project’s engagement with care, reciprocity, and alternative value systems while reinforcing the interconnected relations between the market, its human participants, and its avian inhabitants.

We see urban markets as vibrant places where diverse cultures gather, becoming hubs for social interaction, community building, and cultural exchange. The street market is often based on small family or cooperative stalls and the forming of social solidarity between the stall owners. Part of the de Appel Kiosk’s endeavor is to reflect on practices of exchange and barter in market economies. de Appel wishes to engage in places other than art institutions to meet people through and with artistic practices without the overt distinction between art and society. The idea of the Kiosk was inspired by our friends in the lumbung and by other initiatives from artists to sustain their collectives and participate in a wider scope of economies.
