Nieuwe Instituut

An informal evening in order to raise funds for Turkey, Syria and the Kurdish regions

Nieuwe Instituut organises a fundraising event for all those directly and indirectly affected by the earthquakes in the Turkish, Syrian and Kurdish regions. In collaboration with the fundraising initiative Artists in Solidarity Netherlands, IABR, Kunstinstuut Melly, Mondriaan Fonds, Stimuleringsfonds, Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten and Het Nieuwe Café, the institute hosts an informal, diverse programme including an art sale and a series of conversations.The recent earthquakes in Turkey, Syria and the Kurdish regions have exacerbated the very challenging and fragile conditions faced by people living there. The incidents of the past weeks, however, make solidarity more urgent than ever. This evening’s donation efforts will directly be used to support NGOs and grassroots organisations based in the region that work for immediate earthquake relief as well as long-term healing and reconstruction.During this event, the networks of architects, designers, digital makers and artists of all involved parties and organizations will be in conversation with those attending. Part of the evening is a sale of art and design works that will contribute to the collection of funds. Alongside donated original works, pieces from the Nieuwe Instituut’s collection and a special edition of prints prepared exclusively for the action will be presented. Next to the conversations, there will be related videos, music and food as other ways to come together.<h3>Programme</h3><ul><li>18:30hr – Informal gathering with music, drinks and bites at Het Nieuwe Café</li><li>19:30hr – Start programme in the Auditorium: presentations by Artists in Solidarity NL, partners and fundraising parties, a short presentation by Merve Bedir about her film <a href="https://vimeo.com/118539061" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">AGORAPHOBIA</a>, a conversation with Saskia van Stein and Marwa Al-Sabouni and an introduction to the art sale</li><li>20:30hr – Continuation of the art sale in Het Nieuwe Café</li><li>22:00hr – End of the evening</li></ul>All proceeds of the evening will go to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/afeticinfeministdayanisma/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Afet için Feminist Dayanışma</a> (organising aid from Istanbul to the earthquake region), <a href="https://mordayanisma.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mor Dayanışma</a> (women and children in Antakya), <a href="http://www.kirkayak.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kırkayak Kültür</a> (migrants and refugees across the earthquake region), <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lubunyadeprem/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lubunya Deprem</a> (LGBTI+ and sex workers across the region), <a href="https://www.heyvasor.com/en/banga-alikariya-lezgin-ji-bo-mexduren-erdheje/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Heyvasor</a> (Red Crescent across Rojava) and <a href="https://www.dortayaklisehir.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dört Ayaklı Şehir</a> (animal victims of the earthquake).
