19.00 – 21.00 Opening Exhibition: HX – Pages from “Weltuntergang – a post-apocalyptic queer adventure” graphic novel

Set in Berlin after an extreme climate catastrophe, the upcoming graphic novel focuses on exploring community and group dynamics, and the challenges of survival from queer perspectives.
How does a community look like after a disaster? How do we survive together with limited resources? How do people move from place to place without a constant distribution of fossil fuels? The comic brings the political tensions of Northern Europe into focus in a carnivalesque way, and discusses issues important to queer communities: where to get vital medications, such as hormones, which are a requirement for life for many trans* people? How are gender and sexual norms changing as the post-apocalyptic society changes?

With quirky humour the graphic novel tackles current issues: the looming environmental crisis and the rise of the far-right violence in Northern Europe.

First part available as a zine in the event among other comics!
BIO: Henna Räsänen (HX) is a Berlin-based non-binary and queer comic artist whose work explores social norms through offbeat, prickly humor. Their comics depict subcultures and queer communities in a rapidly eroding world. In HX’s stories dark and troubled noir waltzes with urban topographies, tracking currents and illustrating utopias.
Their comics are mostly published in English language. In 2024 they worked as the Curator of the Comic Invasion Berlin Festival’s International Focus Exhibition at neurotitan gallery. They teach comic workshops that center on norm critical practices, the character of (urban) spaces and the attempt on finding hope in the middle of the current climate catastrophe.

20.00 – 20.40 Performance Early Warning System tryout no.2 by Agat Sharma

The Early Warning System project aims to turn the human body into a sensor that can predict extreme geological and weather events. We will look at recent developments in animal monitoring systems and the enhanced capacity of radio tags to collect rich telemetric data from space. We also consider the adivasi idiom ‘jo naachi so baachi‘ – those who dance will survive, as an alternate method to sense the rhythms and patterns of the Earth.

During the tryout we juxtapose the two approaches to telemetry, namely, ‘becoming sensor’ and ‘mounting sensor’. We will start to think together, how to reconcile these approaches or prepare ourselves to mourn the loss of one in the interest of the other.
This is an early tryout of the project and a peek into its research process. The project will premiere in 2026.

Orbits x Space is the Place fall series #1
2024-10-15 18:30 - 23:30 | Dokhuis
dinner 18.30; music 20 h
An amazing first highly international night of the Orbits X Space is the Place series! The NY based activist musician Amirtha Kidambi comes to the Netherlands -after playing in ao Rewire and the Bimhuis earlier this year- with her Elder Ones, this time joined by improvisational saxophonist Karen Ng. The explosive French guitarist Julien Desprez (Lukas Koenig, Audrey Chen, Nate Wooley, Farida Amadou) will perform a fully engaging solo. And the Amsterdam based Novelo Vago will play their characteristic mix of playful, experimental music.
Novelo Vago:
Novelo Vago is a contemporary music garage band characterized by an unconventional approach. Playful, experimental, sharp, and sometimes witty: the trio uses a mix of toy instruments, small percussion instruments, piccolo, sex toys, whatnot! The band’s formation is rooted in a decade-long friendship, valuing fun and togetherness as key, above traditional rehearsal practices.
Vera Morais – voice, toy instruments | Teresa Costa – flute, piccolo, toy instruments | Inês Lopes – toy piano, melodica, toy instruments
Elder Ones + Karen Ng:
Elder Ones is an experimental free jazz ensemble led by composer and vocalist Amirtha Kidambi featuring saxophonists Matt Nelson and Alfredo Colon, bassist Lester St. Louis, and drummer Jason Nazary. Kidambi’s voice weaves through intricate instrumentation with her characteristic syllabic, frenzied, and powerful utterances. Their music confronts themes like colonialism, capitalism, and violence, channeling ancestral energy and resistance to systemic oppression through their performances. They are joined on stage by improvisational musician and sax-wizard Karen Ng.
Amirtha Kidambi – vocals | Matt Nelson, Alfredo Colon, Karen Ng – saxophone | Lester St. Louis – bass | Jason Nazary – drums
Julien Desprez:
Performing solo with only his guitar and effects pedals, Julien Desprez engages all the senses, placing the body and its movements at the heart of his practice. Here, he presents Agora, a twofold performance that plays with several points of view. A soft, explosive, and joyful trance merges polyrhythmics, high-voltage electricity, guitar, and body until their rupture and reconciliation. With playfulness and frenzy, a multiple world is negotiated through your listening.
Julien Desprez – guitar, podorhythmics, electronics

Two amazing bands: MIRAGE & TRAUMATIZER
2024-10-17 20:00 - 23:00 | Dokzaal & Dokhuis galerie, Plantage Doklaan 8, Amsterdam, 1018CM, Netherlands
2 amazing bands.
Vegan food for cheap at 6:00 and than doors at 8:00Damage is 5 euros or more.

MIRAGE https://roachlegrecords.bandcamp.com/album/immagini-postumeTheir sound is unique, with the (mostly) Italian language vocals tying them to the rich history of Italian hardcore while the music draws on post-punk atmosphere and psychedelic texture without sounding like anything other than hardcore punk. The chorus on the guitar and the dark chord progressions make comparisons to spooky-sounding punk bands like Part 1 and Rudimentary Peni obvious, but Mirage really reminds me of Wretched’s last 12”, La Tua Morte Non Aspetta. Immagini Postume feels more interesting, exciting, and better-executed than most of the vinyl releases I hear these days, so if this is what Mirage is offering as their demo cassette, I’m very excited to see where they go from here. While we wait to find out, though, Immagini Postume will give us plenty to chew on.

TRAUMATIZERhttps://neontasterecords.bandcamp.com/album/traumatizerThis is blistering D-beat with a handful of huge, metallic riffing and a vocalist that eats nails for dessert. There’s a blown-out production that brings to mind Bootlicker’s earlier recordings but where the Lickers line American Hardcore with No Future stomp, Traumatizer goes full tilt into the noize and grips you by the throat. There’s no pogo present, just rage and violence. Toss it on while you take the late-night walk home from the bar. These 6 tracks will make a compelling case that those darting eyes and high hackles in the alleyway are the threat you were worried about. Those focused pupils from an animal whose only option is to take as many of you with them as they can. You didn’t even mean any harm, poor you. But here we are, kill or be killed. Prey or predator. No one gets out alive, we just measure blood loss for points.

THE EVE OF IVAN KUPALO 1968
(Вечір на Івана Купала / Vecher nakanune Ivana Kupala)
Directed by Yurii Illienko
71 minutes
In Ukrainian with English subtitles

There was a certain kind of ‘folklore poetic’ cinema that emerged in the 1960s in the former East Bloc, which Ukrainian filmmakers were a large part of. There was a history for this movement that can be traced all the way back to the 1920s with a lyrical-experimental filmmaker named Dovzhenko who was born in northern Ukraine. But in the 60s movies were suddenly ignited with color… and it was almost as if this folklore-poetic spirit was infused with traditional folklore patterns and designs, resulting in an almost psychedelic trip of mind-blowing tapestry of visual patterns.

The director of this particular movie Yurii Illienko had been a cameraman for one of the greatest practitioners of this aesthetic, whose name was Sergi Paradjanov. Here as a director Illienko takes this overheated fantasy-folklore imagery to tell the story of a young poverty-stricken farmer who wants to marry his true love, but when her father interferes, the young man goes to make a deal with a demon. Everything climaxes and a kind of delirious madness. It’s based on “St John’s Eve” by Gogol, a tale that taps into the deep mythology of the region. A cinematic step into another world, both ancient and modern.

SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXICINEMA

Film starts at 20:30
Free screening
Dinners are available from 19:00

Presented by Jeffrey Badcock
A series of socially engaged movies, screened once a month on Thursdays. Touching on such hot topics as immigration, homelessness, racism, education, radical gender propositions, the pandemic and gentrification, these films not only explore visionary politics, but are also chosen to stir our imagination and creativity. The essence of cinema is the collective experience, and these screenings are aimed at creating intimate communities again in an increasingly hectic and fragmented world.

Loom: Boris de Klerk, Görkem Arıkan & Elina Tapio (performances/sound, by Subbacultcha and We Are Public)
2024-10-31 08:00 - 17:00 | Dokzaal
Subbacultcha and We Are Public present the fourth edition of Loom: a recurring (on- and offline) program showcasing a multitude of creative disciplines. In 2024, Loom will house 5 events, coinciding with talks, releases and a publication. To wrap it all up, we’ll host a closing festival in winter. “Ginning, opening, cleaning, combing, drawing, spinning, winding, warping, sizing and beaming.”
This time around, we have invited Antwerp-based performance and sound artist Boris de Klerk, whose practice focuses on ‘the exploration of live sound in a performative space’. He is particularly interested in investigating the sensory possibilities of space in relation to the performer and the audience. By approaching the theatrical space as a composer, Boris attempts to reorganize the senses, exploring what happens when you create theater where sound takes the lead and mise-en-scène, set design, lighting, and choreography are consequences of choices made based on auditory elements. The question that guides most of his work is: “How theatrical can sound be, and what happens when you approach theater not as a visual but as an auditory medium?”
Interdisciplinary sound-artist and performer Görkem Arıkan will present Wirwarp (2024), a self-made instrument that draws inspiration from Michel Waisvisz’ distinctive approach to sonic interactions and musical expression. Wirwarp is made out of conductive rubber and cord stretch sensors that create a dynamic mesh on a wooden frame. Through warping and tangling the mesh-pulling cords, pushing the nodes, and adjusting the frame’s angle with moveable hinges, Görkem is able to play the instrument, turning it into a canvas for sonic exploration.
Elina Tapio will be DJ’ing during the evening. Her sets embody an experimental ethos, favouring dark and eerie soundscapes, blending psychedelic rhythms with industrial atmospheres. She is currently a resident at Mutant Radio, and co-hosts the radio shows Scrying the Landscape and axia maxim. She has also released music under the moniker eoobe, together with Marco Segato.
Geke Zaal has provided the hypnotizing artwork for this installment.
Loom is free for Subbacultcha and We Are Public members.
– Subbacultcha members can reserve a free ticket by sending an email here with ‘Loom’ in the subject + your name in the text.
– We Are Public members can reserve their free ticket here.
– Regular tickets are €12 and can be purchased here.
Loom is kindly supported by Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst & Fonds 21.

ORBITS X SPACE IS THE PLACE FALL SERIES #2
2024-11-19 18:30 - 23:30 | Dokhuis
dinner 18.30; music 20 h
2nd evening in the adventurous Orbits x Space is the Place fall series in the basement of the Dokzaal.
Two special guests tonight to perform with the international music scene of Amsterdam; one of the front runners of the Scandinavian impro/jazz scene Gard Nilssen and Chicago based saxophonist Ken Vandermark. Drummer Gard Nilssen, saxophonist Aviv Noam and bassist Omer Govreen will play together for the first time, Ken Vandermark and Terrie Ex have a long history together, also with The Ex and Lean Left. Bassist Omer Govreen will play with his own quartet, consisting of the finest jazz musicians in town.

Aviv Noam / Gard Nilssen / Omer Govreen
Jazz and skilled trio action. Saxophonist Aviv Noam, who previously won the prestigious Dutch Jazz Competition with his Quartet, draws inspiration from the avant-garde of the 1950s and ’60s, infusing his performances with chaos and melodic grooves. Norwegian drummer and composer Gard Nilssen will be coming specifically for this concert, representing his unique and avant-garde scene, known for his work with Acoustic Unity Band and Supersonic Orchestra—both of which have previously performed in the Netherlands. Completing the trio is Omer Govreen, a familiar stage-mate of Aviv and a double bass player active in various formations, including his own Quartet, which also features during the fall series.
Aviv Noam – saxophone | Gard Nilssen – drums | Omer Govreen – double bass
Omer Govreen Quartet
Emotive and daring, Omer Govreen’s quartet features, of course, Omer himself, along with Aleksander Sever, Wouter Kline, and Floris Kappeyne. After releasing their acclaimed album Maya in 2022, you can expect elegant yet raw, propulsive and melodic music presented with verve on stage.
Omer Govreen – double bass | Aleksander Sever – vibraphone | Floris Kappeyne – piano | Wouter Kühne – drums

Super Gum(@super_gum_bxl)

Super Gum is a band that has undergone serious changes over time. From a hybrid singer-songwriter/post-rock band in the early 2010s to an instrumental electronic art-rock band in the present, its three core members (Anatole Damien, Ari Rodriguez and Gaspard Sicx) have always committed to new sounds, melodies and the ideal fusion. Each is active in many different areas of the Brussels scene, including free improvisation, jazz, punk, and pop, and playing in established projects such as Fievel is Glauque, Garance Midi, Electronic Pancakes, and Whoman. Their first EP, “GUM!,” was well received by the Belgian press and their 2023 follow-up, “Milieu”, was made in collaboration with the label MAGMA.

Saturno Santos & Chaerin Im(@9nijntjes, @chaerinmusic)

A rare duo sighting of KB_ founder and songwriter Gabriel de Oliveira (aka SS) and close collaborator and pianist Chaerin Im in an intimate setting, approaching new songs and improvisations filtered through a language of Brazilian and Korean folk musics. A delicate thread of tradition and avant-garde in electro-acoustic meetings of voice, guitar, piano, small instruments, viola de cocho, and synthesizers.

Tzara the Machine (@tzarathemachine)

The solo project of Venezuelan singer-songwriter and producer Francisco Garrido. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Björk, Arca and Bon Iver, Tzara creates an organic sound, mixing sampled acoustic instruments and electronic elements. Through vulnerable lyricism and sonic experimentation, their music deals with themes of mental health and the nonsensical nature of our thoughts. Francisco is joined by Carolina Gemmell, both on vocals and guitar.

ARIA (@sampaolesic, @pietroeliabarcellona)

ARIA, the duo of accordionist Carlo Sampaolesi and double bassist Pietro Elia Barcellona, explores the limits and boundaries of experimental and contemporary music. The duo has collaborated with composers such as Francesca Verunelli and Justė Janulytė, and researched early chamber and non-Eurocentric music, reinterpreting it through a present lens. They emphasize timbre as a key element in their creation, experimenting with improvisation and tuning systems predating the well-tempered scale.
