The Ruang Tamu/The Gud Instituut Living Room Harvest Festival & Bazaar, taking place at Nieuwe Instituut on February 1 and 2, goes beyond being just a marketplace—it’s a space for sharing stories, experiences, and tacit wisdom through interactive activities. The bazaar will celebrate collaboration, connection, and the learning processes fostered throughout the program. Alongside artworks, art prints, second-hand treasures from the living room, and curated artist merchandise, the bazaar will also feature activities and services that reflect the intelligence of everyday practices.
Join us if you're in Rotterdam or nearby!

fcrThe English translation of Hito Steyerl's essay on Documenta Fifteen published by "Die Zeit" (one of the German papers that had called out its curators for alleged anti-semitism) softens one of its perhaps most controversial passages:
"If Putin’s ideologues are calling for the decolonization of Russia from some kind of Western-Jewish liberalism, then that notion of decolonization has been badly corrupted, and certainly not for the first time. Criticism of colonialism often regresses into a glorification of the old, innocent days populated by imaginary, Disneyfied versions of indigenous peoples. In many cases, the result is identity as voyeuristic branding."
- a more faithful translation would have been: "then this term decolonization has been strongly corrupted" (i.e. 'decolonization' in general, not just Putin's particular use of the word).
German original:
"Wenn Putins Ideologen die Dekolonialisierung Russlands von einer Art westlich-jüdischem Liberalismus fordern, dann ist dieser Begriff Dekolonialisierung stark korrumpiert worden, und das bestimmt nicht zum ersten Mal. [...]"
