5th-8th April

cellular spaceship

welcome

to our terrestrial living room low key party!

The access to this entire ride is for free and doesn’t require reservation!

If you’re receiving this message,

you’re getting dangerously close to the

cellular spaceship

where forms and matters merge

into one vague  resting space.

The Stargate will be open (and free) at the next full moon on

April 6, Earth Time.

 

> From 16:00 to 18:00, we’ll have a Little Bastards hanging room, which is a kids & parents friendly space. For the luna-sensitive, we have designed an interstellar welcome with a convoy of personalities that the universe envies us. Bring your kids, books, toys, invisible pens, magic wands, and let’s living-room together for a moment. 

Please note that there will be no professional caretaker, so all kids should be accompanied by adults. But the bar will be open, too 🙂

 

> From 18:00 to 19:00, we’ll host Witches’ Gossips. The sharp and esoteric sorceresses, Ainhoa Hernández Escudero and Fogo, will share their spells and recipes with us in a discussion available on your own interpretation frequency. Some might call this an artist talk.

SORBITO

is a gesture that provides a sensorial experience to an audience of a specific context. SORBITO proposes to listen to the bodily processes of smelling, ingesting, tasting, and digesting while attending a performative event. It is a collaboration with medicinal herbs that imagines the meeting of human cell membranes and plant cell walls to co-perform a process of exchange. Each sorbito is a  potion that adopts a format and specific materiality. A sorbito could manifest in chewing gum, a candy, a facial mask, oil, a wafer, an inhaler, a drink, or an infusion; and contains herbs with specific properties selected in relation to the event it accompanies. SORBITO learns from herbology and pre-modern healing traditions, resituating these practices in contemporary times.

 

>At 20:00, To close the convoy of undefined slow spaces, the moon of all stars will share her mermaid soul voice, healing hurt hearts and soon, smoothing any inter-galaxy conflicts. Aziza’s solo concert will close this living room low key party.

 

Aziza

is the eponymous project of the singer/bass player. It’s infused with various influences from Aziza’s mixed roots and past. We travel from traditional african vocals to soul music and more. She plays with repetitive vocals, simple basslines and her singing.

 

>Last but not least, all throughout the program, a mini bastard market will take place in the Bears Café, where we are inviting small women-business selling handcrafted goods of all sorts.

 

[In the meantime, Silicon Mountain© by Laurent Delom will be performed in the Zilveren zaal for two rides in LIMITED CAPACITY (reserve!).]

Global Majority/
BIPOC separatist evening

The show on the first evening (15th April) is a separatistic evening for people of the global majority/BIPOC. So please only book that evening if you identify with those terms. The show on the 16th of April is open for all. ---- We, Adam and Amina Seid Tahir, see how the terms BIPOC and people of color are less fortunate in their attempts of combating white supremacist andimperialistic ideologies, since they form in relation to whiteness (those ”not of color”) and therefore keeps whiteness as the norm. We rather use the term people of the global majority since we aren’t interested in identifying in relation to whiteness or white supremacy. ---- The term Global Majority was coined by Rosemary Campbell-Stephens. ”Global Majority refers to people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities’.” 1 This term was created for people of the global majority to not have to identify in relation to whiteness and to emphasize the fact that these groups make up the majority of the world’s population, specifically 80%. ---- The reason for choosing to use the term BIPOC despite this, is because we’re aware that the term people of the global majority hasn’t received as widespread attention yet. And since our main goal for this showing is to welcome our siblings from the global majority for a showing without the presence of a white colonial gaze, we choose to use the term that seems to be most commonly used in this festivals locality. ---- 1.
