Roodkapje offers a unique multidisciplinary breeding ground for young talent in a dynamic, riotous and multi-voiced program. Our location is both an exhibition venue, concert hall, nightclub and hamburger restaurant. The cultural program happens in every nook and cranny and from noon till the early morning hours. We believe a hamburger can be art and celebrate both the low- and the high brow. We travel beyond existing art forms and break through boundaries and binaries. Roodkapje was founded in Rotterdam in 2000 by Eric den Hartigh. Over the years, Roodkapje has grown into a multidisciplinary platform for presentation and talent support for young artists, musicians, performers and programmers in the heart of Rotterdam. Roodkapje is multi-voiced, energetic and supportive and offers a space to explore, experiment and execute. At Roodkapje you can move from mosh pit to hacking workshop to delicious (vegan) kapsalon. Our program is mostly produced in-house by the residents in the Hamburger Community of Art and Live. This nine-month residency houses six people every year who develop their ideas supported by Roodkapje’s staff, visiting mentors and experts from the cultural field. The artists and event-programmers work together to create interdisciplinary happenings and publications. These ideas are presented directly to our audience, making the public program into an experimental test-site for unpredictable and unprecedented accidents. Next to the Hamburger Community, Roodkapje works closely together with co-producers and local partners that fit within our vision and who mentor the residents. FOEF, Kampung, Futura Resistenza, Hocus Bogus Publishing. Roodkapje consists of a small team of cultural enthusiasts. Together, we work hard to maintain and further develop the creative playground that is Roodkapje. Read about Roodkapje here: https://roodkapje.org

The Hamburger Community calls you to their fourth Happening! Affectionately referred to as “outsiders biggest night in,” the Rat Gala 2024 will revolve around the release of the first picture film Rats on the Run; a 24-hour battle for control by the art collective United Fried Front. This event welcomes common thieves, absolute filth and their perverted q***r elders. This year’s theme S***s & Squats promises degenerate creatures of the night engaging in wild & untamed endeavours, leaving us with the question: will rats survive rodenticide in this rotterdramatic movie + clubnight at the intersection of life, trash, and state-control?

LARASATI DJ PHILOSOPHY:

LARASATI is a DJ and community organizer with a love of high bpm euphoric sounds that border on sentiment and chaos. Playing mostly for q***r parties both in and outside NL, as an community organizer they make space for the Indonesian* and Southeast Asian q***r diaspora with the collective Nusaq***r Diaspora.

🌀 In this session, we shall play. Play, play, play. Children’s games, playground games, language games, wild games, games for the sake of games. Play for remembering how to play, for the pure necessity of it, for speed, giddiness and falling-over fun. For the sake of being together, of community, of much-needed transcendence, of getting out of your own skin and being something more than oneself for a while.
 Through this exploration, we will reintroduce this seemingly frivolous and childlike pursuit to Roodkapje and the Anarchive. We may* also enquire into play’s shared homological relationship with the systems perspective, and the self-organising structures found in nature and the cosmos at large. How play might deepen our appreciation of complexity and interdependence of ecological and cultural systems? How might play serve as a basis for collective being, doing, and living? How might play inspire collective action? How can it re-enchant the world with a sense of liveliness that motivates learning and action that supports the flourishing of systems? How might ‘just’ playing soften the rigidity of our normative world with an openness to the way things could be? *Or we might ‘just’ play.

🌱 Orion Maxted is a performance artist, cybernetic theatre maker, and curator of collective intelligences. At the Center Leo Apostel for Transdisciplinary Studies, VUB, Brussels, Orion co-runs the Artscience Department and co-curates both the Systems At Play programme and The Imaginary Institute. His research explores the intersection of collective theatre practice, play, and systems thinking.

More (an)archival inquiries…

♨️ This workshop will include reading, writing, forgetting and fictioning in the places of gaps and omissions in archives. Fictionioning, critical fabulation, and conversational footnotes will be tools we will use to seep through the archival crevices and write an alternative past and future. Archives here are understood in a broad way, and include more unruly, unclassified, unreliable notions of archiving that might not be considered ‘professional’.

🌱 Senka Milutinović was born in 1999 in Belgrade, Serbia and is a researcher, writer, and multimedia designer based in Rotterdam, the Netherland. They’re obsessed with alternative archival practices and q***r histories.

On view during the weekend:
Svetlana Romanova’s film Hinkelten

— Each chapter (in the script) represents the objective, which will unfold throughout the film.

Constructed out of personal poems and notes, 𝙃𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙣 (a cold time of the year in Even language) poses questions about image production’s intersection with creation of narratives, that are embedded now in our perception of contemporaneity and manifest themselves in our performances of ideas and feelings like love. Positioned in the Yakutian Arctic, this visual essay invites the viewer to ask vital questions in relation to peripheral discourse that seems to be inseparable in relation to the etymology of the word itself - Arctic, and how does the western ontologies in relation to intimacy are fitting in immediate Yakutian realities.

🌱 Svetlana Romanova (Sakha/Even) is an artist and filmmaker born in Yakutsk, the capital city of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located south of the Arctic Circle. Her practice centers on the importance of Indigenous visual language, particularly in the Arctic regions and gravitates towards critical self historization.

Join us in a reclaiming of public space that blurs the lines between participatory performance, practical training, and public action

The Book Bloc shields have been painted and built during several sweatshops, of which one took place at Roodkapje in the beginning of July. The shields are meant to protect and embolden our comrades in their struggle against the cops for a Free Palestine by shielding their bodies and nourishing our minds. During this short and participatory training, we will activate the shields by creating figures and defensive formations responding to the surrounding architecture. All the while passing on the megaphone to share quotes from the books that substantiate our knowledge and invigorate our struggle, using our voices as vessels of solidarity. Will we be able to defend our comrades from fake cops?

The Book Bloc Brigade is the walking bibliography that protects protesters from nasty cops in riot gear, acting tough but full of fear. We choose to defend ourselves with books, because they give us reasons to revolt and resolve to resist! Book bloc traces its genealogy to the student movement against budget cuts in education in Italy in 2010.

another 💎 joining our summer school:  Carine Zaayman, author of 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴

♨️ In this presentation and conversation, Zaayman shall reflect on how she came to the idea of the anarchive, a constellation of archive in which absence is centered. She will reflect on her frustrations with colonial record-making and suggest in its stead other forms of knowledge work made possible by anarchival thinking and practices. She hopes to explore some of these practices in conversation with the audience. What would it mean to be fully attentive to the full sensorial and inter-subjective realities of being present, and what kinds of custodianship of the past might we envisage from such a perspective?

🌱 Carine Zaayman is an artist, curator and scholar committed to critical engagement with colonial archives and collections, specifically those holding strands of Khoekhoe pasts. As a descendant of Krotoa, her research focuses in particular on the afterlives of slavery and colonialism in the Cape, as well as the network of spaces caught in the wake of Dutch colonial occupation. Through her work, she aims to bring intangible and neglected histories into view and to contribute to a radical reconsideration of colonial archives and museum collections. In this way, she seeks ways to release the hold these institutes have maintained over our imaginations as we narrate the past, and also how we might envision futures from it.

Zaayman works as a researcher and research coordinator at the Research Center for Material Culture at the Wereldmuseum in the Netherlands. She further collaborates on projects that narrate the colonial history of the Cape from the perspectives of Indigenous and enslaved people and their descendants, including the 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘟 𝘜𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘵 exhibition (2023), as well as the ongoing 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 project.

Meet two more of our wonderful summer school guests:  Manique Hendricks & Juha van ‘t Zelfde

🪩 How do you archive and exhibit club culture? Club culture is ephemeral, flyers and posters often don’t have year dates marked on them. The club experience is intangible and cannot be captured in one single object or material. This is where personal stories and artists become important to bring the artifacts to life again.

🐝 Collective creativity stands for equal collaboration and a club night is the perfect example of this. Various elements come together: from the music, to performances, decor, dressed up partygoers, to the architecture of the building and the design of the promotional material. Everyone contributes equally to a collective body of work, imagining a new world together which holds revolutionary potential. Collective creativity is essential to club culture where artistic expression has its own set of rules. When the right conditions are met, magic happens.
 🌀 How can artists make use of archival materials to make revolution irresistible?
What new forms of collective expression are needed for solidarity, community and revolution?

🌱 Manique Hendricks is a Dutch-Peranakan Chinese art historian. She works as contemporary art curator at the Frans Hals Museum. In her work she specializes in contemporary (media) art, visual and digital culture, exploring and highlighting themes around identity, representation, the body, drag and club culture.

🌿 Juha van ‘t Zelfde is a Finnish-Dutch artist, educator and organiser living in Amsterdam-Noord. In his work he explores the revolutionary potential of collective creativity. As an autodidact DJ, filmmaker and anarchist, clubs are his art school and protests his phd.

The two met during the making of (and while collaborating on) the archival exhibition ‘To Dance is to be Free: Club Culture in Amsterdam from 1980 until now’ at the Amsterdam City Archives in 2023. Van ‘t Zelfde’s video installation RoXY (2022) formed an essential part in the exhibition, weaving together club culture, protest movements, activism, youth culture and art history.

🌻 Come hear stories about Jay Jordan’s long and often bumpy journey towards magic and a world that attempts to dissolves toxic binaries, especially between reality and fiction. Jay is labeled a “Domestic Extremist” by the police, and “a magician of rebellion” by the press. Part-time author, witch, s*x worker and full time trouble maker, they are a lover of edges, especially between art and activism.

🌀 Fascinated by rituals and carnivals from a young age, they always wanted to break the binary between audience and artist, to smash the toxic spell of the spectacle. For a while as a young artist they found solace in happenings and performance art but they soon realised that these practices were still part of the toxic binary that detached art from everyday life and especially from effective socio/political transformation. Merging direct action and art, from the 90’s to 2020’s, especially with their collective the Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination (co-facilitated with Isabelle Fremeaux) they found a space where many of these binaries were dissolved.

🔮 Following a classic activist burn out in 2017, they returned to the roots of their work, ritual and magic. Rituals are the ancestors of all art, a biotechnology of transformation and connection. Yet the contemporary art world often promotes individualistic, detached and hypermobile lifestyles, where the creative gesture has no real roots in a community or territory. In 2012, Jay deserted the metropolis to live on the ZAD of Notre-Dame-des-Landes, to fight against an international airport project. There they co-founded the Cellule d’Action Rituelle with the duo -h-, to design rituals, in an attempt to bring culture back to the etymological roots of cul-terra, ‘taking care of the earth’.

✨ | Next Sunday will be our first Cucumber Time performance and it’s an exciting one! ✨

Goblin Feast; Rituals
Sunday 28 July
19:00 | Free entrance

Goblin Feast is a celebration of odd, mythical foods inspired by a European folklore creature, the goblin. Dirty, mischievous outcasts. Goblins supposedly live in grottoes, but attach themselves to households, where they are believed to bang upon pots and pans, sn**ch nightclothes off the bodies of sleeping people, move furniture at night, and flee after rapping on walls and doors. We find freedom in the vague and the dirty and let our fantasy run wild on foods resulting in a 70’ inspired dinner party. We feast like they would after a satisfying night of taunting humans.

In this edition we look at rituals in feasting, habits, and religion. Goblin Feast; Rituals takes a mystical look on what rituals can mean when food is involved.

💚 Art, Life, Anarchive 💚
👀 proud to present to you our first guest on Friday
Mo’min Swaitat from the Majazz Project joins us for a talk and listening session on

Palestinian Sound Archive

Palestinian Sound Archive is a celebration of music, spoken word and album artwork from historic Palestine, mainly from the 1960s-1990s. It is part of Majazz Project, a Palestinian-led record label and research platform founded by actor, director and filmmaker Mo’min Swaitat in 2020. Over several years, Mo’min amassed an extensive archive of cassettes and vinyl records from Palestine and beyond, spanning everything from field recordings of Bedouin weddings to revolutionary albums from the First and Second Intifadas, instrumental tracks, poetry, soul, folk songs and jazz. Many of these were acquired from a former record label in Mo’min’s hometown Jenin, in the north of the West Bank. Palestinian Sound Archive was borne out of the archive and is focused on sampling, remixing and reissuing vintage Palestinian and Arab albums, shedding new light on the richness and diversity of Palestinian / Arab cultural and musical heritage.

Mo’min comes from a long line of Bedouin musicians and storytellers, and the archive references his rootedness in music as a means of celebrating one’s culture and sense of belonging. He plays everything from jazz to funk, soul to dabke, field recordings to spoken word, folk to electronic music from Palestine, the broader region and across the Global South.

❇️Yarrow Ballet label night | 14.09 | 20:30-01:00 | with Dissemblance, Archetype, Loma Doom, Samira❇️

ffo: Futura Resistenza, Knekelhuis, live electronics, indian summer listening night

For this evening, Roodkapje Rotterdam invited Rotterdam label Yarrow Ballet to curate an evening full of live electronics.

🌀 Yarrow Ballet
Yarrow Ballet is a young Rotterdam-based record label founded by Ofra. This year, Yarrow Ballet released a beautiful compilation, introducing “Yarrow Ballet’s V.A.01” featuring ten tracks.

🌀 Dissemblance
The Parisian artist adds a new arsenal of instruments to her repertoire, bringing together a variety of styles and sounds marking them with her own exceptional style. She will perform live along with Vicnet on synths.

🌀 Archetype
Leonard Prochazka – active on Knekelhuis through his aliases Archetype and Geier Aus Stahl – is a conceptual artist, consistently centering his output around a core concept. When performing live, Leonard has a control-freak meets punk attitude, connecting with his audience in a primal way.

🌀 Loma Doom
Loma Doom, a true radio veteran and beacon of twisted and mesmerizing sounds. Her signature style revolves around electronic experimentalism, both for mind and movement, seeking the outliers, one that avoids linearity, towards a space where intuition and understanding meet. Actively incorporating styles predating the computer era, she sources from her fondness for freak folk, psychedelic and hardcore punk.

🌀 Samira
Rotterdam-based Samira found her niche in the city’s electronic music scene as a resident DJ at Operator. Specializing in melancholic electro and wave, her sets at the club became known for their distinct, darker palette.

Art, Life, Anarchive : a summer school for the hangry - food for thought, action and imagination

a summer school weekender reshaping and reimagining Happenings and anarchive, the red threads in Roodkapje’s art program. What can they do, what do they mean, feel and sound like? During Art, Life, Anarchive artists, activists, cultural workers and researchers will help us deepen our understanding of existing practices, histories and mentalities to get inspired for possible future action 🔮

We want to break the binary between art and life and do away with Art-as-we-know-it; the kind of Art that the Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination identifies as a weapon of colonialism and capitalism and serves Business-as-usual. We want to learn about creative tools and tactics that fuel political action and cultivate what brings joy and nourishment to our daily lives. In the cracks of this system, we’ll look for ways to survive and bloom, meanwhile making the cracks bigger and bigger, so that some day, trees can grow from them 🌱

We consider the anarchive as a way to break free from the Archive-as-we-know-it. We want to expore how it can make space for reciprocity in collective memory and meaning making. With artist and researcher Carine Zaayman we wonder: how does one document the full sensorial experience of lived life and pay attention to the silences left? 🧩

How do we go about this? How do we become Thaumaturges; these workers of wonder that embrace magic and ritual? What are imaginations of the otherwise, what could be, as feminist writer Lola Olufemi urges us to ask? And how will we hone our crafts to make the otherwise happen in the here and now? 💭

This summer school is organized by Roodkapje’s anarchivist and .community residents , , , and

We are excited to welcome and learn from the following guests:
, Laboratory for Insurrectionary Imagination, Majazz Project, , Senka Milutinović and Svetlana Romanova

Keep an eye out for ticket info & more guests to be confirmed soon!

ffo: Devo, Co***ne P**s, the Screamers, NIN, Christian Death, punx with synths

Brorlab
In 2023 BRORLAB popped up with their second release “Working Out In Heaven”, a totally out of control 12” of modern f**kwave. All in all an aberrant slice of psychedelic gabber infused punk for the end of time.

Lifeless Past
Lifeless Past from The Netherlands plays darkwave and postpunk music which is heavily inspired by the goth movement from the late 80’s. Their music is characterized by its cold and groovy drums, cascading melodic guitars and wintery vocals.

Designer Violence
Wild synthesizers, pumping beats and emotional vocals delivered by women screaming in your face. Formed out of a shared passion for everything gritty, danceable and underground, q***r art punk band Designer Violence manages to transform every venue they play into a sweaty underground nightclub, where the sun never rises and the subs slightly too loud.

VJ Elena Chadaeva
Elena is a Rotterdam-based transdisciplinary artist and designer. Her interest and inspiration lie in the intersection of math and spirit, and she explores that threshold by translating sensory input into generated visuals. In her artistic practice more broadly, she works with seemingly unconnectable themes and methods and weaves them into a poetic whole that questions the nature of perception.

Next week! ✨ ascension day special ✨ with Egg Idiot + the Cosmosians hosted by @nospray_ & @roodkapje_rotterdam  Could this outrageous giant Egg with his full band be our new punk-Jesus? Some lucky ones will remember the ascension to higher planes during @leftofthedialrotterdam 2021 where a giant Egg-human transcended our experiences of musical worshipping and left us yearning for more. Now he’s back with a full band on the 9th of May in @roodkapje_rotterdam on ✨ ascension day ✨ During ascension day some might commemorate Jesus’s victory over death and his salvation of all those who believe in him and his exultation, but we bring you: Egg Idiot. High energy punk outfit the Cosmosians will do some extreme warming up exercises for the bods to be ready for the eggs. This will be: a night to remember 👀💅

Ready for ‘Paste’?! Like last year with the collaborative exhibition Riso, Paper, Scissors, the exhibition space will be turned into a collaborative Riso printing laboratory during ‘Paste’. We’re reeling in Jefe, the friendly Riso Printer of Hocus Bogus Publishing. Opening/Happening ‘Paste’ 18th of April 20:30-23:00 free entrance ✨No more white walls!✨ Together with the new Hamburger Community residents we’re pasting all over the indoor exhibition walls. This wallpaper created during ‘Paste’ will not be removed after the Happening and is the first layer of Roodkapje’s Anarchive. Roodkapje starts their Anarchive in 2024 working together with makers outside of the Hamburger Community, transforming the spirit of the Happenings into suggestions for new beginnings, relations and ways of being. The anarchive is a proposition to break free from the archive, to refuse known forms of archiving and include the full sensorial experience of lived life. Roodkapje aims to collect moments, processes and affective forces in the Happenings to craft stories about what has passed in ways that may inspire possible action in the future. This video is a throwback to Riso Paper Scissors, April 2023. To welcome and present the new ‘23 Hamburger Community art residents in Roodkapje, Hocus Bogus Publishing organized a Riso animation exploration bonanza. Transforming Roodkapje’s shared exhibition space into an analogue animation laboratory. Video made by Lucile Bazalgette Courreges-Lacoste @luusziel

#VIDEOPORTRAIT | Brian Murphy Brian Murphy is a musician and one of the programmers this year at Roodkapje! Bringing fun events where both the audience and musicians are invited to creatively participate during the evening. Next event coming up: ⚫ Bandy Charcoal ⚫ 14th of July with @windupspaceband @loveth_besamoh Besamoh and @dixitheband Ever been to a concert, enjoyed the music, fell in love, bought some merch and still felt there was something missing but you don’t know what? Well it was a life charcoal drawing session of the bands of course 🥸 this Friday come on over to have a Bandy Charcoal experience. Video portrait by @asmallproductioncompany   🌸🌸🌸 At Roodkapje we invite new creative, emerging bookers, labels, initiatives to organize their (first) public activities ar our multifunctional location. We guide and challenge them to experiment with injecting visual arts into band nights or workouts into nightlife to create multisensory experiences. We call them our Significant Others ❤️ Roodkapje is ethically non-monogamous when it comes to our Significant Others, we partner up with local initiatives, invite volunteers to program in the summer and work with four young labels/bookers. We welcome those who we think bring along an unheard sound/vision and are open for new ideas that come to us per mail, pigeon or DM.

Champagne breakfast for Roodkapje! @mondriaanfonds will support Roodkapje’s art program in 2024-2026 ⚡⚡ We want to thank everyone involved in Roodkapje throughout the years, together you make it the space it is <3 A huge shout out to the other @mondriaanfonds PRO receivers @mamarotterdam and @stroom_den_haag and everyone else receiving recognition in the other categories. “The committee [...] believes that the art stage has an idiosyncratic artistic vision in which cooperation and collectivity are central. The emphasis is on personal expression, polyphony and the relationship with the audience. [...] She believes that the program plan is in line with the developments of the interdisciplinary platform with a focus on happenings and ‘anarchival’ practices. The committee appreciates this radical line, whereby the program is determined by five residents, an anarchivist and three mentors. [...] The contribution of the program to the existing cultural infrastructure and the relevance for the public to which it relates, is judged by the committee to be more than satisfactory. Roodkapje is connected to networks throughout the city through the many collaborations via platforms, festivals, etc. The committee believes that the art stage distinguishes itself from other cultural institutions in Rotterdam and the region by offering a platform for makers with a hybrid practice with and for a young and inclusive audience.”
