De eerste midcareer overzichtstentoonstelling van Sharelly Emanuelson, Between a Dance and Sitting in a Chair, vindt plaats bij CBK Zuidoost, locatie Shebang. De kunstenaar, winnaar van onder andere de Charlotte Köhler Prize (2020) en de Volkskrant Visual Arts Audience Award, geeft in haar werk het levensgevoel van het Caribisch gebied weer – de warmte en het vrolijke eilandgevoel. Tegelijkertijd legt ze de onderliggende laag bloot van de gevolgen van het kolonialisme op de eilanden, effecten die tot in het heden doorwerken. Dat laat ze zien via thematieken als taal, ecologie, dans cq beweging, educatie, armoede, handel en toerisme. De tentoonstelling omvat tien grote (multimediale) installaties – momenteel werkt ze in de residentie van de Thami Mnyele Stichting aan nieuw werk en een mansgrote uitvoering van een eerder werk: Teduki Nobo, waarin de Antilliaanse vlag wordt verbeeld. Emanuelson is geboren en woonachtig op Curaçao, studeerde in Nederland en begon haar carrière als film- en documentairemaker. Na een aantal jaar besloot ze haar kunstpraktijk met andere technieken uit te breiden, omdat ze het gevoel had dat ze in de film niet haar hele verhaal kon vertellen.

Поэтическийсеанс- это Рифмический саундхиллингДраматический спектакльСовременный перформанс... и еще множество других жанров-клише, которые мы умудрились уместить в одном представлении продолжительностью примерно три тысячи шестьсот пять секунд. Поэтический сеанс создан тремя друзьями.Один из них поэт, другие обладают множеством талантов. Первый увольнялся с каждой своей работы в мае, чтобы не пропустить лето. Второй устраивал перформанс в одном из главных музеев мира. А третий играет на восьми музыкальных инструментах (сразу в четыре руки!). Один регулярно путается в проводах, двое других называют себя отшельниками. Второй на полголовы ниже первого, но на лошадку выше третьего. Все трое играли в спектаклях, но только один переиграл.

‘Als je mensen maar vrijheid geeft worden ze vanzelf creatief’ Deze veelgehoorde uitspraak berust op een hardnekkig misververstand. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat wanneer er sprake is van ‘wickedproblems’, je creativiteit wordt geprikkeld, juist doordater specifieke randvoorwaarden en beperkingen gelden. Emiel Heijnen, lector kunsteducatie (AHK) en co-auteur van Wicked Arts Assignments, doet onderzoek naar de manier waarop opdrachten en instructies creativiteit en kunstzinnigheid kunnen stimuleren. Hij stelt dat het ontwerpen van opdrachten, instructies en prompts een educatieve én creatieve praktijk tegelijk is. In deze interactieve lezing + workshop laat Heijnen veel prikkelende voorbeelden zien van hoe kunstenaars en ontwerpers de meest fascinerende instructies en opdrachten bedenken en (laten) uitvoeren. Daarnaast voer je zelf experimentele instructies uit, waarbij we analyseren of je inderdaad werd uitgedaagd om je 'creatieve spieren' aan te spannen! Datum: 04/10/2024 Tijd: 15:30 – 17:00 (inloop v.a. 15:00) Locatie: AHK Culture Club Kattenburgerstraat 5, Gebouw 27K, 1018 JA, Amsterdam Information Source: AHK Culture Club | eventbrite

Born and raised in Istanbul, her endeavors continually captivate and unite audiences, highlighting the transformative influence of storytelling in bridging cultural gaps and fostering a profound understanding of humanity. After moving to the Netherlands in 2019, Başak became a household storyteller at Mezrab and later wrote her first play: The Millennial Immigrant, for the Amsterdam Fringe Festival, directed by Mara van Nes. This marked the beginning of a series of creative collaborations between the duo. Since then Basak has had the privilege of taking the stage in various Amsterdam venues as a storyteller. By infusing comedic moments into serious narratives, she strives to address the universal human condition and unite diverse audiences. Sîpan Sezgin Tekin, born in Amed, Kurdistan in 1996 and now based in Turkey and The Netherlands, is a performer, theater maker, and actor. As an artist and nomad, Tekin's exploration of meaning is expressed through a fusion of performance, choreography, sound, and documentary, drawing from an oral tradition of narrative and storytelling. His work provides dynamic reflections on political and existential realities, weaving together mythological and real stories to craft experimental narrative performances, blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality. Tekin examines the political dynamics of language as a power dynamic and delves into identity politics, exploring themes of multilingualism and the embodiment of language in performance for enhanced accessibility and narrative diversity. His artistic inquiry focuses on the embodied communicative and sensory potential of language, aiming to create immersive theatrical and performative experiences.
