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. Вопрос:чего ожидать от этого вечера? Information Source: Рифмы и Ритмы | eventbrite

‘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!

Het uur van het hart Onze volgende session van bijeenkomsten start op 6 oktober 2024. We zijn erg blij met deze mogelijkheid een prachtige plek om dieper te komen in onze harten contact. Herken je van die momenten waarin je veel praat maar niets wezenlijks zegt? Dat je heel veel intelligentie hebt, maar tegelijk het gevoel dat je niets weet? Volop communicatietechnieken beheerst, maar geen contact heb met een ander? Heb jij ook behoefte aan verbinding vanuit je hart? Behoefte om jouw waarheid te laten schijnen? Om je te verbinden met gelijkgestemden? Dan is ‘het uur van het hart’ wellicht op jouw hart geschreven. Delen vanuit je hartIn een serie van 8 eerste zondagen van de maand vindt er een ontmoeting plaats met, onder anderen, spirituele principes zo als die voor komen binnen de 12 stappen van de Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) omlijst met muziek. Er komen thema's langs waaronder: eenzaamheid en verbinding, hoogmoed en nederigheid, doelloosheid en zingeving, ontkenning en overgaven. Het doel van deze bijeenkomsten is bewustwording en innerlijke welzijn. Ofwel een persoonlijke spirituele ervaring. De structuur van onze ontmoetingen bestaat uit het delen van ervaringen met onze waarheid. Mogelijk ontdekken we ook een belemmerend ego-patroon dat onze zelfliefde in de weg staat. Bob Lammertink zal ‘het uur van het hart’ faciliteren. Vanuit de principes van de dynamische gesprekvoering en kennis vanuit oosterse en westerse wijsheden zal Bob thema’s verdiepen en scherp stellen op ieders inbreng. Hierbij krijgt iedereen de uitnodiging om verbinding te maken met de groep. Verbondenheid is helend. Volgen van een proces langs- ontdekken, onderzoeken en loslaten. Integriteit en eerlijkheid leiden tot een morele kijk op ons proces van komen tot ons hart. Staat mijn hart in vlam? Hoe gepassioneerd ben ik over dat wat ik doe en zeg vandaag? Zelfliefde zal in alle middagen centraal staan. Delen is geven. Kom jij ook delen? Initiatiefnemers van dit programma: Bob Lammertink en GerdaTimmerman * Plaats: Het Dufayhuis in Amsterdam-Zuid Tijd: van 13 uur - 15uur Inlooptijd vanaf 12.30 uur Entree: 20 euro (1x koffie/thee gratis) Contant of via QRcode * Deze gespreksgroep kon tot stand komen dankzij een financiële bijdrage van de Stichting Fonds Vrije Gemeente _______________________________ Bob Lammertink is afkomstig uit de Verenigde Staten en heeft 15 jaar geworsteld met zijn eigen drugsverslaving. Ondertussen is Bob 23 jaar clean (gebruikt geen alcohol en drugs) met behulp van een zogeheten 12 stappen herstelprogramma van de Anonieme Alcoholisten (AA). Hij ontdekte daar de waarden van delen, openheid en verbondenheid. Het is mogelijk om je vrij, blij en gelukkig te voelen onder welke omstandigheden dan ook. Bob Lammertink heeft gestudeerd aan Hazelden Graduate School of Addiction Care in de Verenigde Staten en heeft in Nederland de post HBO-opleiding Social Work gedaan. Inmiddels heeft hij 15 jaar ervaring als klinisch counselor verslavingszorg bij de grootste GGZ-instelling van Nederland. Bob is recent begonnen als zelfstandig ondernemer. Zijn doel is mensen helpen meer verbondenheid te beleven in zichzelf en in het dagelijks leven. Tijdens zijn werk als counselor (verslavingsbehandelaar) kreeg hij vaak te horen: ‘Waarom heb ik dit niet op school geleerd?’. Er bestaat een Fabulous way out Information Source: eventbrite
