20u30: Almudena Rubio
Political songs, love songs… Folk music? I have always thought that my songs, obviously not all, were love songs. But nothing farther! They are songs of heartbreak, of loss, of tireless struggle to survive a situation that oppresses us and hurts us. They are sad songs with incredible melodies that encourage us to fight and survive

﻿

21u00: Baque Flamingo (Maracatu de Baque Virado)

Baque Flamingo is a collective founded in 2019 and we play Maracatu de Baque Virado, an afro-indigenous cultural manifestation from Recife – Brazil.
We play and sing to bring about change, connection and empowerment in ourselves and around us. For queer liberation, anti-racism, economic equality, feminism, environmentalism, and religious freedom.
We act in solidarity with communities that actively resist and build alternative ways of living and organizing. That is why it is so important to us to learn from Maracatu Nations in Recife/Brazil and support their continued manifestation and resistance.

DE CIERTA MANERA 1975

(One Way or Another)
Directed by Sara Gómez
77 minutes
In Spanish with English subtitles
This rarely screened film is a classic of Cuban cinema, nailed by an Afro-Cuban woman—Sara Gómez—who only made a few short documentaries and this single feature, in her short lifetime. She died at age 31 from complications involved with the birth of her child. Besides the personal tragedy of someone dying so young, it was also sad because she was such a bold original talent, and obviously had so much more to give.
This film is incredibly innovative and thoughtful… a radical mix between fact and fiction. The fiction part is a love affair between Mario and Yolanda who are very different from each other—a male factory worker and a female school teacher. But then there is the documentary edge that captures the entire world of Cuba in the 1970s. We see it all – the ground-level struggles to create a new society, the contradictions, the intense conversations of people on the street, their dreams and loves. All in a country still trying to define what is revolutionary, equal, and humane in terms of race, class and gender. In essence, the everyday reality of the ongoing Cuban revolution from a woman’s perspective.
A docu-film like this feels so free compared to anything being made today. It has these beautiful moments when it detours on a whim. It starts to explore one direction, and then suddenly shifts and takes off in another style that is purely documentary. Because it can suddenly jump tracks so quickly, it also captures a wider cross-section of the entire society. I also love the fact that our main character has flaws, and we often question her convictions. An incredible snapshot of a society that is trying to transform and reinvent everything.

Water.Land.Justice. Tour with "Les Soulevements de la Terre"
2024-02-29 19:30 - 21:30 | Dokzaal
✊❤️‍🔥📢 Les Soulevements de la Terre will be in Amsterdam next week! At their stops across the NL, Germany, and the Czech Republic, they will provide insights into their experiences, strategies and forms of organization.
In France, the @soulevements.de.la.terre (“uprisings of the earth”) movement is successfully fighting against destructive industrial infrastructure and for social justice. It is supported by a strong base of over 100,000 small farmers, trade unionists, activists and residents of contested territories.
Despite the extreme state repression against them, the “Uprisings of the Earth” are an inspiring example of collective resistance. You may have seen the impactful pictures of the people protesting against the mega-bassines in Saint-Soline.
🌱 This is a great opportunity to learn from the experiences of this strong grassroots alliance, and to discuss and connect with activists across borders in the struggle for land & water justice.

'Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence' - book launch, talk
2024-02-29 19:30 - 21:30 | Dokzaal & Dokhuis galerie, Plantage Doklaan 8, Amsterdam, 1018CM, Netherlands
BOOK LAUNCH EVENT:
‘Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence’
// free of charge // vegan food served from 19:00 at Dokhuis Gallerie
To our community resisting militarism, occupation, genocidal regimes and systems of power and violence:
Join us for the launch Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence, a new collection of essays on the systems and technologies of surveillance, control, and violence behind oppressive border regimes around the world.
With an introduction from editor Mizue Aizeki.
Matt Mahmoudi and Luke Naylor-Perott will share the research about ever-growing surveillance network which is entrenching the Israeli government’s control over Palestinians, and helps to maintain Israel’s system of apartheid.
Stop The War on Migrants will tell us more about how they use mapping connections of the military and border industrial complex as an activist tool
——————————————————
In the name of “smart” borders, states like the U.K., the U.S., and Israel have increasingly turned to private companies to develop a neocolonial laboratory deployed against the Global South, across borderlands, routes of migration, and within their own borders. They have established immigrant databases, digital IDs, electronic tracking systems, facial recognition software, data fusion centres, and more, all to more “efficiently” categorise and control human beings and their movement.
These technologies rarely capture widespread public attention or outrage, but they are quietly remaking our world, scaling up colonial efforts of times past to divide desirables from undesirables, rich from poor, expat from migrant, and citizen from undocumented. The essays and case studies in Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence from organisers, scholars, and journalists such as Harsha Walia, Ruha Benjamin, Marwa Fatafta, Arun Kundnani and many more shed light on this threat, offering analyses of how the high-tech system of borders developed and inspiring stories of resistance to it.

Intiem en intimiderend. Een ontmoetingsstek voor muzikanten en een ontsmettingsplek voor doorgedragen zielen. Aan tafel na het eten, op het podium en in je hoofd.
Ditmaal met Smyrneika Rebetika, zang en snaar,
en walvisgezang op z’n maans;
en gitaarloze folk, losgeslagen en hard,
en ruimte voor iets spontaans.

Amarins Maan is singer songwriter. Jarenlang trad ze met een eigen band op, maar dat is inmiddels alweer even geleden. De afgelopen jaren was ze met verschillende voorstellingen in het theater te zien. Toch begonnen het weer te kriebelen om met haar eigen muziek op een podium te staan. Amarins wisselt Engels en Nederlandstalige liedjes af. Net als in haar schrijfwerk voor theater en film ziet ze het maken van muziek als een manier om verhalen te vertellen. Dromerige liedjes over zingende walvissen, het waaien van de wind, een oude man met een jonge jenever en dromen over hoe het is om een wolk te zijn.

Drawing by Jonathan Pieter Post-Uiterweer.
Emerging in the 1920s, Rebetiko tells stories of the rural exodus and Greeks uprooted during the Greco-Turkish War’s 1922 population exchange. The merging of cultures resulted in a musical cross-fertilization that rapidly spread through the burgeoning suburbs of Athens, Thessaloniki, and Piraeus. Rebetiko lyrics touch upon themes of exile, heartbreak, suffering, and social exclusion. Under the dictatorship of Ioannis Metaxas, Rebetiko was branded as immoral, and its proponents (rebetes) were imprisoned, instruments were smashed, and songs were censored. Despite all of this, Rebetiko flourished, was extensively recorded, and is nowpopular once more, with its themes remaining highly relevant today.
In the summer of 2022, Méla (voice) and Johannes (lavta/bouzouki) delved deep into the soul of Rebetiko at Music Village, Agios Lavrentios, Greece. They now regularly jam with the Aman Molli open collective workshop at Joes Garage. This evening, Elèni (ud, voice), Anastasis (guitar) and Giannis (baglamas) will join us. We invite you all to join us and embrace the spirit of the rebetes. Όλοι ρεμπέτες του ντουνιά!

GDVRDGDVR (spreek uit: gōdvèrdėgōdvér) is een losgeslagen folkduo dat haar akoestische gitaren heeft verruilt voor een basic drumkit en een distorted bass. En dan kijken wat er gebeurd. Als je er een label aan wilt hangen, noem het dan vooral minimalistisch post-post-punk-sluge-wave-garage wat ze maken. Lichtvoetige thema’s in
een loodzwaar jasje, hardnekkige melodieën die voor je er erg in hebt voorbijgedenderd zijn.
Het debuutalbum, ‘Songs in the Key of GDVRDGDVR’ (in het najaar van 2022 verschenen bij URUSAI Records), bevat een half uur vol melodieus minimalisme met onnavolgbare teksten en scherpe tot zoetgevooisde harmonieën geperst op uniek inktzwart vinyl. Het 16-track album is opgenomen en geproduceerd door Ottoboy (the Oneman Trashband) en gemixt en gemasterd door Petrushka Morsink (Cords, Ottodelic, Trushkadelic). Het artwork van de LP is inderdaad een work of art, gemaakt door underground comic artist Maia Matches (Stadstekenaar van Amsterdam 2019, “Bitch Knows Best”).

SOY CUBA 1964
(I am Cuba)
Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov
141 minutes
In Spanish with English subtitles
“Don’t avert your eyes. Look! I am Cuba. For you, I am the casino, the bar, hotels and brothels. But the hands of these children and old people are also me!” – Yevgeni Yevtushenko
This unique collaboration between Russian director Mikhail Kalatozov (The Cranes are Flying), and poet Yevgeni Yevtushenko dramatizes the conditions that led to the 1959 Cuban revolution. Originally made in 1964, it was re-released in 1995 through the combined efforts of Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola. It has some of the most amazing cinematography in the history of cinema.
I Am Cuba is set in the late 1950s when a bunch of students, workers, and peasants organized to overthrow the corrupt regime of dictator Fulgencio Batista. The film is divided into four sequences. The first depicts the American gambling casinos and brothels in Havana. The next part shows a farmer burning his sugar cane when he learns he is going to lose his land to the American United Fruit company. Another part describes the suppression of students and dissenters at Havana University, and the final sequence shows how government bombing of mountain fields induced farmers to join with the rebels in the mountains. The final scene is a march into Havana to proclaim the revolution. This film has become a classic in film history, and what makes it so great is that it is not only revolutionary in its theme, but also in its wonderful incandescent style. The narration was written by Russian poet Yevgeni Yevtushenko.
Photographed in black and white and using acrobatic camerawork, some of the shots and distorted camera angles are so staggering they are virtually unbelievable. In one sequence, the camera lifts off from a hotel rooftop, takes in the Havana skyline, descends several floors, winds its way through the poolside party-goers, and then takes you for a swim in the pool in one continuous shot. (Paul Thomas Anderson loved this shot so much he made a tribute to it in Boogie Nights). Audacious and imaginative, I Am Cuba is a revelation. Filmed with true visionary poetry, it transcends the genre of political filmmaking and reaches a pinnacle of cinematic art….pure exhilarated cinema in its highest form.
‘A fever dream, a plunging rollercoaster ride, a cinematographer’s hallucination, a love song to the power of cinema.”

music performance by Si Paton in the basement

Si Paton is a composer, bassist, academic and general smart mouthed antagonist. He has completed his PhD at Birmingham Conservatoire under the supervision of Ed Bennett and Seán Clancy, researching composition for improvising large ensembles searching for a shared musical language between different stylistic origins. He has previously studied electric bass and jazz composition at University of West London with Paul Westwood and Eddie Harvey. He has played in groups – most notably the math-rock band Selectric, the trans-atlantic no wave outfit Phame, and his duo with drummer Rob Nettleship – done composition based projects, and regularly performs solo improvised sets. His solo performances have seen him tread the waters between free jazz, noise, avant-rock, contemporary classical and performance art. You might find him being a dedicated disciple of free jazz one minute, and then the next rolling around on the floor, playing his bass with a screwdriver, reciting wrestling promos, or engaging in staring contests with audience members. You never quite know what exactly you’re going to get and the unpredictableness is what makes his music stand out.

Dok night: LA ULTIMA CENA 1976 (The Last Supper) Directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea
2024-04-18 20:30 - 23:00
This film coming out of Cuba is a full-force blast against colonial slavery, the hypocrisies of capitalism and the church. The angle is surrealist, and the spirit is imaginary despite it being a razor-sharp social critique. It was directed by Cuba’s most prolific filmmaker Tomás Gutiérrez Alea (Fresa y chocolate). In a way, many of his movies are about striking a balance between the individual and the collective. He was a radical film director who always questioned every institutionalized system, it didn’t matter if it was a political system or a standardized formula of filmmaking. For this movie he cited Bertolt Brecht and Sergei Eisenstein as key influences, and the focus of this flick is based on real events adapted from historical documents.
What’s the story? One day a wealthy landlord gets drunk, and since it’s Easter week, he gathers twelve of his black slaves into his château, and goes about staging the last supper of Christ. Along the way the slave-apostles are allowed to eat as much as they want from the banquet table, as the slave-owner talks of charity and forgiveness. He also pontificates with arrogance about humility and the need for one to humbly accept one’s place in life. I will of course let the rest of the movie unfold for itself. It could be considered just a black comedy, if it wasn’t for its barbed insights and more than a few hard punches along the way. It’s got that biting humor that can be found in Monty Python or Luis Buñuel. And just as with both of those references, the film isn’t one-sided, but also questions on a deeper level complicated issues about what is really freedom and what is really slavery.
A film about the slave revolts, balancing seriousness and absurdity. The film is broken into four segments—Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and culminating on Easter Sunday. In other words, this is a perfect time of year to see this flick.

I’m Julija Skudutytė, an artist from Vilnius, Lithuania. I work mostly with watercolor medium. In my works I delve into the interplay between humans and everyday objects, exploring the significance we attach to items, from an expression of identity to nostalgia. I search for the paradoxes where worthlessness and usefulness intertwine and spirituality and consumerism meet. My exploration extends beyond mere objects, it delves into my own identity as well, exploring my materiality and usefulness. This leads to artworks depicting trash as beings and portraying humans as mere objects.

Opening Tentoon- stelling ERIK FENS met openings-woord van MATTHIJS VAN BOXSEL
2024-05-03 13:00 - 19:00 | Dokzaal & Dokhuis galerie, Plantage Doklaan 8, Amsterdam, 1018CM, Netherlands
ERIK FENS: DRIE TENTOONSTELLINGEN
De Amsterdamse kunstenaar Erik Fens (1949) is ooit de metaverzamelaar van Nederland genoemd: iemand die verzamelingen verzamelt en daar kunst van maakt. In de maand mei worden in Amsterdam gelijktijdig drie tentoonstellingen aan zijn werk gewijd.
De Encyclopedie van de Wereld volgens Erik Fens zal worden tentoongesteld in Plantage Dok aan de Plantage Doklaan 8 in Amsterdam op 3, 4 en 5 mei a.s..
Op 3 mei wordt de tentoonstelling geopend met een openingswoord van schrijver Matthijs van Boxsel om 16.30, gevolgd; de openingstijden op de andere dagen zijn van 13.00 tot 17.00 uur.
Op zondag 5 mei is er om 17.00 uur een optreden van Luc Ex/The Philosopher.
Van 3 mei t/m 26 zal tegelijkertijd een tentoonstelling getiteld De verzamelkunst van Erik Fens te zien zijn in Galerie Weerdruk aan het Entrepotdok 42A. Hier vindt op 26 mei ook de finissage van het Fens-project plaats.
Tenslotte: in het atrium van het dr. Sarphatihuis aan de Roetersstraat 2 worden foto’s tentoongesteld die door Joost Pollmann zijn gemaakt in de vroegere woning van Erik Fens, waar al zijn verzamelingen waren uitgestald. Te zien van 3 t/m 26 mei, van 09.00 tot 17.00 uur op weekdagen.
Erik Fens verzamelde dingen die bepaald niet iedereen verzamelt: afgesleten zeepjes, eenzame handschoenen, foto’s van staatshoofden die kinderen optillen, vorken die hij tot vogel omboog, kapotte autospiegels, ansichtkaarten met parkbankjes, sculpturen die hij maakte van gedroogde fruitschillen, bonbonnières met bladvormen, vlinders die uit pornobladen zijn geknipt, etcetera.
Zijn magnum opus is De Encyclopedie van de Wereld volgens Erik Fens, een collectie van ongeveer 600 albums vol thematisch geordende knipsels en krantenkoppen, waaraan Fens dertig jaar heeft gewerkt. Zijn encyclopedie bevat een hallucinerende hoeveelheid visuele en verbale vondsten die hij heeft gehaald uit reclamefolders, kunsttijdschriften, kranten en ansichtkaartenalbums. Samen vormen zij een afspiegeling van ons collectieve bewustzijn, waarin talloze symbolen ronddrijven die te maken hebben met God, Eros, Dood, Flora, Fauna en andere kapitale begrippen.

ERIK FENS: DRIE TENTOONSTELLINGEN
De Amsterdamse kunstenaar Erik Fens (1949) is ooit de metaverzamelaar van Nederland genoemd: iemand die verzamelingen verzamelt en daar kunst van maakt. In de maand mei worden in Amsterdam gelijktijdig drie tentoonstellingen aan zijn werk gewijd.
De Encyclopedie van de Wereld volgens Erik Fens zal worden tentoongesteld in Plantage Dok aan de Plantage Doklaan 8 in Amsterdam op 3, 4 en 5 mei a.s..
Op 3 mei wordt de tentoonstelling geopend met een openingswoord van schrijver Matthijs van Boxsel om 16.30, gevolgd; de openingstijden op de andere dagen zijn van 13.00 tot 17.00 uur.
Op zondag 5 mei is er om 17.00 uur een optreden van Luc Ex/The Philosopher met aansluitend iets te knabbelen van chef Lipsicus.
Van 3 mei t/m 26 zal tegelijkertijd een tentoonstelling getiteld De verzamelkunst van Erik Fens te zien zijn in Galerie Weerdruk aan het Entrepotdok 42A. Hier vindt op 26 mei ook de finissage van het Fens-project plaats.
