Collectively Creative / 
Creatively Collective

is a program researching collective responses to the challenges faced by contemporary creative makers through collaborative learning 

On Thursday, July 11th, 2024, from 18.30 – 20.30, @ Buurtwerkplaats Noorderhof
(doors open and soup is served at 18.00)

Collectively Creative /
Creatively Collective / invites Roman Tkachenko from the collective Timeis.capital: for an artist talk and artist, Ken Ebo-Gomez for a zine-making workshop

Self-organized, creative spaces of gathering exist but often temporarily.  As these physical spaces become increasingly fleeting, we turn to the digital space of Timeis.capital, where resources are gathered, knowledge is archived, and ephemeral creative spaces are captured as 3D memories. Timeis.capital will present their audio-visual project and speak on the urgency to document self-organized collectives, along with the different strategies applied in doing so. They will speak of how an online space can echo autonomous spaces to strengthen the non-institutional art-world and create new energy for self-organization.  

Join us for a collective conversation about online and offline spaces of gathering, and engage in the act of gathering, archiving, bundling, and documenting the ephemeral during the zine-making workshop.

Collectively Creative /
Creatively Collective / invites Mokum Kraakt: for an artist talk and artist, Layla Gijsen, for a lino-printing workshop

Preserving space for creative expression is increasingly challenging. As city rents rise and artistic production is deemed a luxury, how can we continue to create space for experimentation? Mokum Kraakt will speak on how they started squatting to confront this problem. Their squatting activism isn’t only about living space, but also about space for creativity and art. They will talk about the exhibitions they organized in squatted buildings, why they made a book about the struggle for space in Amsterdam, how this evolved into a new publishing house, and why collective action is necessary to create alternatives in an unaffordable city.
