Framer Framed Podcast

In deze aflevering gaan we in gesprek met Ikra, Rana, en Rumaysa van Kolom Praktijkcollege in Amsterdam-Noord en praten we met de leerlingen en hun kunstdocent Gina Sanches over het project Zelf gemaakt! geïnitieerd door Framer Framed i.s.m. OBA. Ikra, Rana en Rumaysa vertellen hoe ze de kans krijgen om artistieke vaardigheden te ontwikkelen en zich te uiten op een manier die hen buiten het reguliere schoolcurriculum artistiek uitdaagt.

Doel van Zelf gemaakt! is het ontwikkelen van eigentijdse cultuureducatie, toegespitst op leerlingen van het praktijkonderwijs om het artistiek-creatief vermogen te vergroten, zodat zij met zelfvertrouwen en gevoel van eigenaarschap uitdagende situaties aan kunnen gaan.

Tijdens het gesprek ontdekken we dat de leerlingen niet alleen genieten van het maken van kunst, maar ook de waarde ervan inzien als een creatieve uitlaatklep en zelfs als inspiratie voor toekomstige carrières. Zelf gemaakt! sluiten het project af met een tentoonstelling met de kunstwerken van de leerlingen in Werkplaats Molenwijk.

Gina Sanches is docent vakdidactiek aan de Breitner Academie (AHK) en freelance educatiemaker voor o.a. Framer Framed. Gina ziet educatie als een kunstvorm, waarmee ze haar leerlingen, maar ook zichzelf onderdeel maakt van een artistiek collectief.

An interview with iLiana Fokianaki, curator of the exhibition ⁠The One-Straw Revolution⁠ at Framer Framed. The exhibition focuses on permaculture and environmental care, featuring artists who explore sustainable living, interspecies coexistence, and the impact of human actions on the environment. ⁠iLiana curated artists whose work highlights the urgency of addressing the ecological crisis and the need for a more sustainable and respectful relationship with the environment. She hopes the exhibition will prompt visitors to consider their connections to their environment and ancestral ways of sustainable living.

This exhibition draws inspiration from The One-Straw Revolution: An Introduction to Natural Farming (1975) by Japanese farmer and philosopher Masanobu Fukuoka, a seminal work in ecological thinking and practice.

iLiana Fokianaki, a curator, theorist, and educator based in Athens, Rotterdam, and Bern, was appointed as the new director of Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland, in December 2023. Her research focuses on the intersections of power formations influenced by geopolitics, national identity, and cultural and anthropological histories.

This episode is a recording of a talk by Shahd Hammouri that took place at Framer Framed on Saturday, 14 October 2023, during the symposium Revisiting the Past, Shaping the Future. Through a set of short roundtables talks, the event aimed to understand pivotal historical events and their influence on today's global political environment.

Hammouri speaks about how the words of former Chilean president Salvador Allende specifically give agency to people around the world and links them to the ongoing Palestinian struggle for liberation and self-determination.

“Ethical loneliness is the result of multiple lapses on the part of human beings and political institutions in failing to listen well to the survivors, to deny them redress by negating their testimony and thwarting their claim to justice.”

Shahd Hammouri is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Kent. Her research lies at the intersection of Public International Law, International Economic Law and Legal Theory. She is a member of the Executive Committee at Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights.

The symposium Revisiting the Past, Shaping the Future was co-organised by SOMO, TNI, OLAA and Framer Framed.

This episode is a report of the roundtable discussion that took place on 11 July 2023 titled Decolonizing the Gaze – Textile Cultural Heritage vs Colonialism – Cultural Appropriations?  The discussion is based on visual artist Caterina Pecchioli‘s research project, Decolonizing the Gaze: The Colonial Heritage of Italian and International Fashion Design and Its Impact on the Collective Imagination.

Decolonizing the Gaze – Textile Cultural Heritage vs Colonialism – Cultural Appropriations? is an open debate about what different fabrics and their history tell about interculture, colonialism, and cultural appropriations. The discussion, which involves Afro-descendant stylists, artists, and fashion designers with origins from countries with a history of Dutch colonisation, intended to identify new meanings about widespread colonial dressing practices and body policies, and the effects of colonialism on the individual/collective imagination and design practices.

Together with fashion designer and creative director Zinzi de Brouwer and publisher and designer Willem van Zoetendaal, the roundtable offers insight into the Dutch Wax fabrics and the implications of its designs and messages produced in Holland and sold in Africa – and its complex and controversial identity representation. These fabrics present images and messages that are like archives of meanings that tell of an ambiguous relationship linked to the European colonial period. Fashion designers and creative directors Semhal Tsegaye Abebe, Bubu Ogisi, and Zinzi de Brouwer  also highlight initiatives and design projects that reveal the richness of African textile heritage still little known in Europe today, and their connection with sustainability. Some of the topics brought to the discussion emerge from a participatory workshop that Caterina Pecchioli⁠ previously lead at Thami Mnyele Foundation studio, were she was artist in residence, in collaboration with CBK Zuidoost⁠, and interviews collected on these issues by Caterina Pecchioli and Roxane Mbanga between Amsterdam and Paris.

Decolonizing the Gaze is supported by the Italian Council (11th edition, 2022), Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity within the Italian Ministry of Culture. The Dutch programmes are in collaboration with Framer Framed (NL), Thami Mnyele Foundation (NL) and CBK Zuidoost (NL).

Join us as we explore the transformative power of art through the lens of Taring Padi's collaborative creations. In this podcast, two of the founding members, Alexander Supartono and Muhammad ‘Ucup’ Yusuf examine how Taring Padi's large-scale banners, wayang kardus, and woodcut prints are catalysts for change, driving conversations on social justice and solidarity. 
This podcast is an excerpt from the roundtable conversation that took place during the first public program of Tanah Merdeka exhibition on 25th June. The exhibition, open until September 10th, brings together works by Taring Padi and various collaborators to reflect on the concept of land and its socio-political implications through a cross-cultural network of solidarity. Drawing from the Indonesian expression ‘tanah merdeka’ (liberated land), the exhibition sees land as a broad concept with many complexities.

This episode is a summary of The More-Than-Human Encounters event which took place on March 29, 2023, at Framer Framed. It revolves around the exhibition Charging Myths, which takes the recent run on lithium in Congo as a starting point to delve into technological, social, and mythical dimensions across global extractive chains. During the event, artists and members of the collective On-Trade-Off Femke Herregraven, Maarten Vanden Eynde and Georges Senga, participated in a dialogue on the evolving narratives and counter-narratives surrounding extractive practices in Manono. Keeping an eye on the human and more-than-human connections that are drawn from the mined landscape of Manono, the artists engage with a central question to their collective practice: How is technological innovation dependent on natural resources?

In 2021 and 2022, Kaaitheater and VUB Crosstalks hosted a series of lectures entitled A Series of More-Than-Human Encounters. In 2023, the cooperation has expanded with more European partners, namely Framer Framed (Amsterdam), Rosendal Teater (Trondheim) and Artea – Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Madrid).

The sixth episode of Subversive Publishing Strategies is with Chiara Figone of Archive Books; a community of practitioners collaborating across regions and socio-political environments. Their work is deeply rooted in a sustained scrutiny of the role of languages, visuality, and archives in the perpetration of the coloniality of knowledge. Archive’s impulse to publish stems from the desire to disseminate stories for the subversive potential they can yield, creating cracks in dominant narratives, fleeing accounts of history with a capital H and turning to the power of the fragment.

Op verzoek van Framer Framed maakte kunstenaar Monika Dahlberg twee sculpturen genaamd Gatekeepers die een permanente plek zullen krijgen op de Oranje-Vrijstaatkade. De samenwerking met Dahlberg ontstond na de vraag van curator Zippora Elders of Framer Framed een bijdrage kon leveren aan het programma van Constant 101. Framer Framed en Monika Dahlberg gingen een samenwerking aan die leidde tot het realiseren van een nieuw permanent werk in – en reflecterend op – de publieke ruimte.

In deze aflevering vertelt Monika Dahlberg waarom ze met sculpturen werkt, wat haar drijfveren zijn, haar kunstpraktijk, de betekenis van kunst voor de massa en hoe ze geïnspireerd raakte door het Manifest uit 1948 dat Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920-2005), beter bekend als Constant, schreef voor Reflex.  Op donderdag 29 september 2022 werden de sculpturen Uhuru en Mutami onthuld door de wethouder Kunst en Cultuur Touria Meliani en stadsdeelbestuurder Oost en portefeuillehouder kunst en cultuur Jan-Bert Vroege.
