Wearable sculpture artist: Daphne Karstens
Food by Judith Baten
Bass player Matilde Squillante is joining us!

Julie Kurris is a theatrical performer and transdisciplinary Scientist who is always looking to dialogue with other performers and artists. She loves to play and create spaces that were unthinkable.

Daphne Karstens combines sculpture and costume to create experimental wearable sculptures, costumes, performances and installations. Her work focuses on experimentation with materials, shape and structure on and around the body. She often works with unconventional materials and combines the individual qualities of materials with shapes and structures.

Goda Žukauskaitė is a Lithuanian performer and maker based in Amsterdam, NL. As a dancer/performer, she is working with companies Schweigman& (Boukje Schweigman) (NL), Kalpanarts (NL) and collaborating with independent artists around the Netherlands, Lithuania, Belgium and France. Goda is creating her own work mostly focused on durational, endurance and site-specific performances which challenges the physical limits of the body. As an artist, she often focuses on a single object, seemingly simple at first glance, unfolds into complex and layered narratives that intrigue and inspire.
picture by Bowie Verschuuren
Jasper Stadhouders’ playing showcases a completely natural musicality. One has the sense that he is so connected with his instrument he can play whatever he imagines. His ability to perform difficult compositions, with an assured sense of rhythm and harmony, combined with his extremely physical and dynamic approach to improvising, has led him being one of the most sought after guitarists around.

Nasim López-Palacios Navarro is an artist who works with music and computers. As a drummer, improviser, and composer, and a beginner in programming, he uses these tools to create art, and as a source of inspiration.

For Ivo Bol all sounds are special: the hum of the fridge, or the noise of the record just before the song starts. He performs his music using his body and mind to manipulate these sounds with light sensors, touch, gesture or brainwaves.

Smaken Van Mijn Herinnering

FOOD ART INSTALLATION:
FLAVOURS OF MY MEMORY (SMAKEN VAN MIJN HERINNERING)
What if you could taste memories?
Flavours of My Memory is a social and sensory art project that brings together memories, flavours, and neighbourhood stories in an edible installation.
Our focus is the Bajeskwartier — a new district built on the site of the former Bijlmerbajes prison. We spoke with former prison staff, people who worked there during its time as an asylum seekers’ centre, and local residents. Their stories have been translated into an edible landscape: a table you not only see — but also smell, touch, and taste.
Alongside these personal accounts, we also explored the area’s history. From the 17th-century country estates along the Amstel to the industrial boom: step by step, we built a timeline of this changing place. The result is a layered portrait of the neighbourhood, expressed in scent, colour, and flavour.
On 18 October, we invite you to take a seat, listen to hidden histories, and share in tasting the memory of this remarkable place.
In the former director’s house of the Bijlmerbajes — now GROND — you will experience performances, hear local voices, and taste stories that would otherwise remain untold. An intimate encounter for anyone wishing to connect with the soul of the neighborhood.
Saturday 18 October | 15:00 – 17:00

2025-11-16 17:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | GROND, Bijdorpstraat 1, Amsterdam, 1096AP, Netherlands
Hakoura Collective invites you to an evening of music, food, solidarity, and collective action to raise vital funds for local community networks working on the ground in the southern Syrian city of As-Sweida.
In the aftermath of the attack on As-Sweida in July 2025, the city has faced its largest wave of displacement. Entire villages were destroyed, leaving many families without homes and with limited access to scarce basic supplies. Today, over 187,000 people remain displaced within As-Sweida city and its surrounding areas.
At this Winter Warm-Up Solidarity Event, we come together to honour and support the resilience of the people of As-Sweida; a community that continues to show us what it means to stand with one another, even when left alone in times of crisis.
All funds raised will go directly to trusted local community networks on the ground in As-Sweida who are working tirelessly to provide displaced families in hospitality centres with essential supplies and care.
Together, we can help sustain their efforts through this challenging season. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference.
Program:
•⁠ ⁠Outlining the situation in As-Sweida & how your contribution will make an impact
•⁠ ⁠Storytelling performance by Marwa Mezher and Nadeem Kotrob
•⁠ ⁠Live Music by Belal Abu Fakher, Rebal Kurkmaz, and Talal Fayad
•⁠ ⁠A warm, home-cooked dinner by Miramea Kitchen (registration needed via this link)

Collective Care Learning Sessions
2025-11-29 10:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | GROND, Bijdorpstraat 1, Amsterdam, 1096AP, Netherlands
Collective Care Learning Sessions
29th of November 11 am – 5 pm @ GROND
It is not always easy to stay close to your ideals – especially when we are working and living together. Community and collectivity are beautiful and powerful agents for change. However, it also involves a lot of challenges. The demands of society keep on knocking on our collective door. Against our best intentions, we are conditioned by the neoliberal structures that we want to get rid of, and we bring this into the groups we formed to fight them. How do we stay with this trouble and also take care of each other and ourselves? It takes learning and unlearning to find healthier ways forward.
Sounds familiar? Join us for the Collective Care Learning Sessions – a day to explore how to rethink, create and sustain collectivity in these challenging times in the wild west world we live in.
Come as you are: alone, or together with members from the collective or community you are in.
Let’s (un)learn, care, and create together on Saturday 29 November from 10:00 – 17:00 @ GROND, including a delicious Ethiopian lunch by Teferi Mekonen (7,50 euros, including tea / coffee). Location: GROND, Bijdorpstraat 1, Amsterdam.
Programme

11:00 – 11:30 Coffee & Tea
11:30 – 13:00 Collective Learning by Sharing – a conversation with Gertrude Flentge (Lumbung Practice, Documenta 15) and Danielle van Zuijlen (Kunsthal Gent) about how to translate collective values into practice and learning curves.
13:00 – 14:00 Food for thought – a warming collective lunch prepared by Teferi Mekonen & Betty (7,50 euros)
14:00 – 15:30 Embodied Learning – a somatic workshop by Marc Nukoop and Mazen Al Ashkar
15:30 – 16:30 From Social Safety to Collective Care – a presentation by the GROND Collective on the process of defining collective values
16:30 – 17:00 Drinks

GROND is a collectively run art space rooted in connectivity, sustainability, and cross-pollination.
