DESCRIPTION:𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘝𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦\, 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘯\, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘢𝘨𝘦 is a creative reading session organised in the context of the retrospective exhibition Sensing Interdependence\, with works by the art collective A4C-Artsforthecommons\, curated by Aria Spinelli and Angelo Castucci and showcased at de Appel from 27 June to 10 August. The purpose of the session is to present an overview of the Mesoamerican Caravan to Belém (COP30): a caravan traveling from Mexico to Brazil organized by Indigenous and campesino social movements\, a space of encounter and mobilization for the peoples and communities that fight in defense of Mother Earth and of territories. \nWe aim to amplify the stories and demands of communities defending their land and advocating for environmental justice\, while sharing our support\, dialogue\, and alternative approaches with participants. This initiative is a people-driven mobilization\, from the local community to the global stage. Now is the time to support land defenders and indigenous communities in their fight for life. Let us stand together to resist violence\, embrace pain\, and organize our rage. \nThis event will take place on Tuesday 8 July\, between 7-9pm\, at GROND (Bijdorpstraat 1\, Amsterdam) and is organized by Joint Cultural Initiatives\, Debt for Climate\, Feministas Holland\, and Grond.

SUMMARY:Harvest Festival
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nFrom the 30st of May till the 1st of June GROND will host part of the Harvest Festival organized in collaboration with damdam – an interconnected web of collectives emerging from de Appel’s Curatorial Programme\, the Lumbung Practice Temporary Master Programme at Sandberg Instituut and Gudskul’s Collective Study Programme in Indonesia. \nBuilding on the 25 years of Lumbung kindred experiments leading to lumbung – documenta fifteen\, for the first time this year we will gather with collectives to practice sustainable economies\, to think about our collective infrastructures\, shared practices\, common resources and values. One of our values is caring about the process\, rather than focusing on the production of artworks or exhibitions as isolated outputs. We turn toward each other and the relations that bind us. \nOur curatorial approach is embedded in the politics of friendship\, interdependence\, trust\, collective joy as well as engagement withAmsterdam and our localities. Alongside mapping our resources and needs in our ecosystem\, we build a common ground and think about potential seeds to plant. Out of this process\, several self-organised working groups emerged around common urgencies: community\, land\, economy\, printing\, publishing\, pedagogy\, documenting and archiving. In the Harvest Festival 2025 we share our understanding of lumbung practice and ongoing processes through nongkrongs (gatherings)\, workshops\, screenings\, discussions\, dinners and parties. What kind of future can we envision if we reorient our work around sharing\, communal rhythms\, and solidarity? \nThe program at GROND: \nFriday 30 May\, 10.00 – 17.00 \nMubadele\nWorkshop and Talk \nThrough the idea of Mubadele we aim to create a system where knowledge\, skills\, and materials circulate beyond the constraints of money. By mapping our existing resources\, and by organising discussions on funding\, this gathering is part of a longer-term vision: to develop strategies for economic resilience that are rooted in solidarity\, not scarcity. With Elke Uitentuis\, Colin Roustan and Alina Lupu. \nExhibition Opening – Everywhere is War\nFriday 30 May\, 17.00 – 21.00 \nThrough the making of stop motion animations the collectives Er Sell Reality and SSMG (Sudanese Stop Motion Group) gave shape to the feelings of guilt that they are facing because of leaving their beloved land and relationships behind. Everywhere is War is a process-oriented presentation that shows how both collectives have been experimenting with the animation techniques and exploring the battlefields under their skin. \nDuring the opening there will be dinner from 5 to 7pm cooked by Mohamed Alnoor\, \nand from 9pm a radio performance by Marc Nukoop\, Ivo Bol and Wytze Minne de Swart. \nThe exhibition is also open on 31 May and 1 June from 12 to 9pm. \n  \nSaturday 31 May\, 18.00 – 21.00 \nDon’t Stop Talking About Exile: The Voice of Women TV Show + Congo Solidarity Dinner\nScreening/discussion + Dinner convened by We Sell Reality & Parole de Femmes \nParole de Femmes TV Show (The Voice of Women TV Show) is a collaborative short-film led by women from the Emmaüs community. The screening will be followed by a talk with the creators of the film\, followed by a solidarity dinner for Congo. Guest speakers Eric Bimule and Aime Kabena will inform us about the situation DRC. \n  \nThe exhibition is also open on  1 June from 12 to 9pm. \nThrough the making of stop motion animations the collectives We Sell Reality and SSMG (Sudanese Stop Motion Group) gave shape to the feelings of guilt that they are facing because of leaving their beloved land and relationships behind.

SUMMARY:Apapacho Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, mainly after the intensity of 8M and other feminist and social justice mobilizations\, many of us find ourselves exhausted\, drained\, and on the verge of burning out. We give our energy to the struggle\, to organizing\, to holding space for others\, but how often do we extend that same care to ourselves and to our community? \nThe Náhuatl word ‘apapacho’ carries deep meaning. According to linguistic studies\, it comes from the verb papatzoa or patzoa\, meaning “to press or squeeze”\, which evolved into the idea of bodies coming together in an embrace\, a physical gesture of warmth and comfort. Additionally\, some scholars connect it to pachoa\, meaning “to cover or shelter\, like a hen incubating her eggs”\, a beautiful metaphor for care as a protective and nurturing act.  \nApapacho\, then\, is not just affection\, it is a profound act of care that holds\, soothes\, and strengthens. As feminists\, we constantly speak about care\, healing\, and collective well-being\, so why not take this moment to actually put that into practice\, together? \n✨ What to expect? \n🌿 Bodywork and relaxation sessions \n☕ Nourishing drinks and comforting food \n🎶 Soothing music and collective reflection \n💜 A space to unwind\, recconnect\, and nurture resilience \nThis is a moment just for you\, a pause to breathe\, to feel held\, and to restore strength for the struggles ahead. Come as you are\, and let’s hold each other in radical care and solidarity. \n📍 Grond \nRegister to  feministasenholanda@gmail.com \nBecause rest is resistance. Because care is revolutionary. Because we deserve an apapacho.
