de Appel

This day-long gathering brings together guests whose practices engage with sound, piracy, anti-colonial solidarity, archiving, and critical fabulation. It is convened by yasmine eid-sabbagh and Layal Ftouni in conjunction with the opening of the project 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙩 by yasmine eid-sabbagh and organised by If I Can't Dance, I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution.

The programme is divided in two parts. The study session in the morning is guided by Rayya Badran and Alia Mossallam, and builds on their research and work with radio and sound archives, tracing presences and erasures that speak to histories of anti-colonial, working class, and solidarity movements and struggles.

The afternoon programme starts with a conversation between yasmine eid-sabbagh and Layal Ftouni and continues with three invited guests: Rayya Badran, Alia Mossallam, and DJ Lynnée Denise. The conversations address the role of sound and pirate radios in forging anti-colonial solidaries, focusing on Palestine and other transnational struggles.

📌 Sunday 21.06.2026, 11:00–18:00
at GROND (Bajesdorp)

𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘈𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘵 by Alina Lupu is a text-based screenprinting workshop operating inside the Dappermarkt throughout June 2026 as both a printing press and a micro-economy. Borrowing the fiscal term 'value added,' the project examines how commodities gain surplus value, and how language itself can function as added value.

For the de Appel Kiosk, Alina Lupu will generate phrases through conversations with stallholders and visitors, learning from the history and dynamics of the marketplace. Clothing and textiles sold by vendors will become the printing surface. The resulting texts will draw from the market’s own vocabulary: rent, pricing, scarcity, bargaining, care, inflation, work, and mutual dependence.

📌 Visit the Kiosk on 4, 11, 18 & 25 June 2026, between 10:00–17:00 at Dappermarkt

𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙨 is a Harvest Festival consisting of a public programme and exhibition hosted by damdam – a collective of collectives brought together by de Appel Curatorial Programme, Sandberg Instituut temporary master Lumbung Practice and Gudskul, Jakarta – which seeks to cultivate methods of collective organisation in times of crisis. The festival is formulated around three central questions: How to organise? How to distribute labour and resources? How to share what we produce?

The three day public programme at OT301 (12–14 June) is the first act, addressing these questions through practice. We are building the structure of our house through the often invisible infrastructures that support it, approaching the home not only as a fixed site but as something constructed relationally and continuously through practices of hosting. People themselves are the infrastructure of this house: shared time becomes a resource, care, attention, and mutual support become the materials through which continuity is sustained. Our host OT301 reflects these questions, with its history of squatting, legalisation and its current form as a collectively run cultural space.

The exhibition at de Appel (3 July – 14 August) is the second act, where we invite you into the house, turning to the physical and material structures inside. Acknowledging the limits of an exhibition, we focus on objects and their potential for resource re-distribution through transvestment (transferring resources from one value system to another). The objects are commissioned by the different collectives within damdam, who shared instructions to collaboratively build a house that reflects current needs in sustaining collective practice. With these objects, we build a house that can transvest resources into each collective’s local context, using a framework that balances production budget and fees with their needs.
