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. We explore new ways of living and working together to deepen our connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We hope and believe this leads to the change we desperately need for all of us.

Free Sudan
2025-12-14 13:00 - 17:00 | GROND, Bijdorpstraat 1, Amsterdam, 1096AP, Netherlands
With a Sudanese lunch by Mohamed Alnoor, a performance by The Black Pharaohs and the screening of ‘What’s next?’ by SSMG.
The massacre of hundreds of Sudanese civilians after the Darfur city of El Fasher was captured by the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is the latest chapter in a brutal conflict that has killed more than 150.000 people over the past two and a half years. We need this horrific war to end, and Sudan needs your support and awareness. Therefor we will organize ‘Free Sudan’ – an event in which we celebrate the rich Sudanese culture, in which we mourn all the victims and in which we will inform you about the situation in Sudan.
We will start our gathering with a traditional Sudanese lunch prepared by Mohamed Alnoor. Then ‘The Black Pharaohs’ will perform traditional dance and music from the Nuba Mountains area. The performers will explain the meaning of the different songs and dances. A stop motion animation titled ‘What’s next?’ made by SSMG (Sudanese Stop Motion Group) will be screened. This animation takes you along the route of fleeing Darfur towards Uganda.
We hope you will join us in solidarity!
