Stroom Den Haag

A symposium organised with our European partners from Islands of Kinship on the theme of accessibility in art institutions.

Agenda

To Isa Hukka, accessibility is the starting point for humanity, connection, and communication for the well-being of all kinds of communities. In their workshop 'Cripping Communication', they invite us to rethink accessibility together.

The workshop by Paulina Seyfried titled '(In-) Accessibility of Language in the Art Field' serves as an opportunity for a first self-positioning and reflection. After a check-in, we analyse the meaning of language as an access and barrier and then approach the field of plain language on a very practical level. Mandatory for participation is to read a short text as an introduction and the willingness to leave academic language behind towards new ways of communication.  For more details see the main text.

Workshop #2 (please reserve ticket for this part of program) 

Coffee break

Alžběta Bačíková’s presentation will reflect on three audio-visual projects in which she played the role of initiator, director, collaborator or producer.

 
Sarah van Lamsweerde will talk about her art practice, which is dedicated to experimenting with extracurricular methods, such as oral traditions, unfamiliar languages and underprivileged senses. Introducing a selection of previous art projects, the presentation will touch upon the various areas of her work featuring performances, installations and publications.  


The artist talks will be followed by a moderated dialogue between the artists and the audience. For more details, see main text.

Coffee break 

For this special occasion, Ludmila Rodrigues has created a spatial intervention for one of Stroom's rooms, where visitors are welcome to slow down while experiencing a decrease of sensory stimuli. The artist will share her latest experience in music theater making, where different modes of perception were engaged. In collaboration with theater collective [in]operabilities, from Hamburg, she has developed haptic and acoustic objects for both actors and audience members. The project questioned how a diversity of bodies perceive music and theater and ultimately what bodies are entitled to perform.
