Ranie Ribeiro performs on harp on December 7 at the Central Space. A live performance as part of Manifestation #16: Descent into Fungal.

EN

Every Thursday evening during this manifestation, artists, thinkers, designers, poets, makers and breakers will present and perform in the Central Space for the public and for the special mycelium installation, developed by Dutch design brand YUME YUME. We collectively take care of the fungal floor. The mycelium will respond to us being in the space together and will therefore carry a fragment of all of us whilst we internalize or embrace some of their networks. In addressing the human audience as well as the fungal, we are envisioning a world order on non-human grounds. Who is the host and who is the parasite?

NL

Elke donderdagavond tijdens deze manifestatie presenteren en performen kunstenaars, denkers, ontwerpers, dichters, makers en brekers in de Central Space voor het publiek en voor de speciale myceliuminstallatie, ontwikkeld door het Nederlandse design merk YUME YUME. We zorgen samen voor de myceliumvloer. Het mycelium zal reageren op ons samenzijn in de ruimte en zal daarom een stukje van ons allemaal meedragen terwijl we sommige van hun netwerken internaliseren of omarmen. Door zowel het menselijke publiek als het myceliumnetwerk aan te spreken, stellen we ons een wereldorde op niet-menselijke gronden voor. Wie is de host en wie is de parasiet?

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
