Paniek en Veren: ganzenvergassingen in Nederland
2024-07-13 19:00 - 22:00 | Dokzaal
SAVE THE DATE!
Op zaterdag 13 juli organiseert Animal Rights een info-avond over ganzenvergassingen in Nederland. Deze zal plaatsvinden bij Plantage Dok in Amsterdam!
Tijdens deze avond wordt er een presentatie gegeven door campagnecoördinator Aysis Plet over ganzenvergassingen in Nederland.
LET OP! DE AVOND IS GRATIS, MAAR RESERVEREN IS VERPLICHT!
Tickets om een plekje te reserveren kan je hier vinden: https://www.animalrightsshop.nl/a-88481560
—————————————————————————
Ook dit jaar moeten de ganzen in Nederland er weer aan geloven. Niet enkel aan het gebruikelijke afschot of het verjagen, maar ook aan de terugkerende vergassingen.
Soms met wel duizend tegelijk, worden deze gevoelige watervogels in een fuik bijeen gedreven en om het leven gebracht door CO2 gas.
In de periode dat de vergassingen plaatsvinden, van mei tot en met juli, zijn de meeste ganzen in de rui. Hierdoor kunnen ze niet wegvliegen en zijn ze extra kwetsbaar.
Al in 2008 stelde de Partij voor de Dieren vragen in de Tweede Kamer over de ganzenvergassingen, die sinds 2004 regelmatig worden uitgevoerd in Nederland.
Sinds 2015 voert Animal Rights actie tegen ganzenvergassingen. Dit door middel van juridische procedures, demonstraties en voorlichting.
Er zal ook een gastspreker aanwezig zijn tijdens de presentatie, maar wie dat is houden we nog even geheim!
Reserveer je plek via de webshop, en we zien je op 13 juli!

>> a Monday Crust Extravaganza <<

with:
FLOWER (New York City, USA)
‘Those of you who have not discovered FLOWER, take notice. If you’ve ever been nostalgic about good old crusty days and the only band left you dream to see reformed is NAUSEA … well … FLOWER tick all the boxes. They are from New York City, they play crusty punk, they are young and they sound and write music similarly to NAUSEA (but they also take a heavy influence from ANTISECT, SACRILEGE & other greats)’ – Sanctus Propaganda
https://flowernewyorkcity.bandcamp.com/
STRESSSYSTEEM (Groningen, NL)‘Eva from Dutch punks MAKILADORAS has the vocal duty in this incredibly brutal band that delivers an incredibly tight and fast performance of loud, heavy music that encompasses crust, D-beat, and thrash with some vicious riffing, pummeling beats, and a voice that cuts through with clarity and anger. It’s an absolute blast. A must.’ – MRNR

Come enjoy delicious food, good company and support direct action against deportations.
Every day people are threatened with deportations from the Netherlands to countries they deliberately left and don’t want to go to. The dinner is in support of activists taking action against these racist practices.
Solidarity actions are helping with legal procedures that may stop the deportation, supporting people to stay out of the hands of deportation agencies and standing up on deportation flights. The latter form of action is a costly method. So come and bring some cash in exchange for a nice meal and learn more about how to stop a deportation.

20.00 Oldseed in the basement
oldseed is the proof. They still exist, the nomadic artists on the road less travelled.
oldseed continues the tradition of the thoughtful folk singers yet with the enthusiasm of the diy spirit. With a powerful and dynamic voice, the Canadian-born musician, who lives in Germany between tours, sings stories that tell of a life lived with honesty.
oldseed’s music lets the audience feel what we need to feel; to understand that we learn so much more from our failure than our success. This is to be celebrated.
The music is deceptively simple, dynamic and intense.
oldseed writes songs that cut deep and directly into the heart.
oldseed brings an evening full of compelling, insightful songs from over 20 years on the road that will resonate with audiences everywhere.

If you like honest, powerful and compassionate music, oldseed is a master class.

20.30 Film screening
FOTOGRAFIA 1973
Directed by Pál Zolnay
82 minutes
In Hungarian with English subtitles

In some circles this obscure Hungarian film has been compared to Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow up… because it is about the act of taking photographs. But where Antonioni’s film maps the attempt to photograph the modernity of the hip 60s, this Hungarian crew goes backward to photograph the villagers living deep in the countryside, some of whom have never even been photographed in their lives. In the end, this film questions our entire process of ‘imaging’ ourselves.
Lingering somewhere between a documentary and a feature film, it examines with a critical eye how we relate to photographs in general – something profoundly needed in our present world of selfies and the flood of images that bombard even our private lives. All these images surround and influence us, but we barely understand them… and this rare movie helps us to take the first few steps in doing that. The cinematography of the film itself is incredible, in that old crafted sort of way, when b&w photography in the east bloc was still an art form. A few of the images are enough to blow you away, and shatter all your expectations of a documentary.
What I love most about this film, besides its poetic quality, are some of the villagers who reject photography outright, and even hate it. No way they will allow themselves to be captured and framed. Also, we see other people who don’t know how to behave in front of a camera… you can see their eyes are more detached and calm – which is incredibly refreshing in our present Instagramed world where everybody knows how to ‘act’ when their picture is being taken. In this movie the act of taking a photograph is rare and almost holy.
The soundtrack to the film is a quiet masterpiece, made by one of the photographers who strums his acoustic guitar loosely as they walk through the landscape, knocking out lyrics about life and death off the top of his head. It gives the entire movie a sharp bittersweet tone.
Adventurous, lucid, poignant, lyrical, thought-provoking, piercing, philosophical. Haunting images of a time we have forgotten… images that we need to dig up again in order to remember what we have lost. An obscure gem of Hungarian cinema with a post-60s East Bloc mood.

SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXICINEMA

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.

Slackrr (UK) + Zakmes + Get Sad
2024-09-20 19:30 | Dokhuis
BURNING FIRE AGENCY Presents:
SLACKRR
The Southampton based pop-punk band Slackrr proved with 600 + shows in 5 years time a successful constantly touring band. The band released a album and EP and the band is picked up by: BBC 1, Kerreng! Radio and Rocksound. With shows on Isle of Wight, The fest (Florida USA), supports shows for: Spunge, Popes of Chilitown, The Smoking Popes, Bronnie and now Punkrock Factory. The Band is ready to take over Europe and this time NL as well!
(listen)
ZAKMESZakmes is a Utrecht-based solo project by Zakaria Messaoudi, who pretty much takes all tasks upon himself from production to songwriting to recording to mixing. A mix between Emo, Pop, Pop Punk and electronic music with a unique twist. With that sound he stands at the pedestal of the Lowlands emo movement. You can expect honest lyrics, melodic guitar riffs, and melancholic sounds, and mosh pits with friends. Live, Zakmes is backed by his band.
‘Like this. Zakmes takes heavy inspiration from bands and artists like: Blink 182, American Football, Tigers Jaw, Title Fight, Modern Baseball, Nothing Nowhere, and Tiny Moving Parts. Even though Zakmes is emo & pop-punk at its core he doesn’t mind genre bending. a rap verse here, a jazz guitar solo there, a Drum & Bass drum part here and again.
It feels like: Being happy, falling in love AND out of love, meeting friends, playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 At Midnight, missing friends, dealing with life, dealing with death, skateboarding on summer evenings, walks on fall afternoons, laughing, crying, moshing, dancing, hugging, and doing ALL of that with your 4 best friends in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
(listen)

GET SADEager to expand the alternative emo/post-hardcore horizon in the Netherlands, Amsterdam based rockband Get Sad started experimenting with combining different genres and sounds they’ve admired since theywere in their early teen years.The result is a compelling, energetic blend of genres such as Pop-Punk, Post-Hardcore and shoegaze. “Let’s get sad together, and make this world a better place.”

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.

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!

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.
