This Sunday we will have Naked Sushi performance by Asia Komarova!
Nyotaimori (Japanese: 女体盛り, "female body presentation"), often referred to as "body sushi," is the extremely rare practice of serving sashimi or sushi from the body of a woman, typically naked.

Nyotaimori is a well-accepted and practiced tradition in Japan. It is recognized as an art form in Japan and has been part of the Geisha culture dating back hundreds of years...
It is based on the idea that sushi is made to delight
Promoters, eating participants, and apologists to the practice often say that nyotaimori is a form of art.

Film: Shorts by Aukje Dekker!

Aukje Dekker experiments with a range different media such as film, performance, photography, spatial installation and painting. As she says herself "I prefer to take a situation as the starting point rather than laying the starting point within a certain situation. This can be a feeling, an event or a thought, whatever is keeping my mind busy at that moment."

6th of June

This weeks evening program is a collaboration with Philip Powel, director of JOHN106. JOHN106 provides a platform for emerging artists who push limits, cross borders and break down barriers.


Live: Rive

Rive is the Dutch soul/rock/funk formation around Rivelino ‘Blackrockstar’ Rigters, the tall singer-guitarist with a firm and at the same time heavenly voice. The band RIVE stands for several cultures mixed together in one melting pot. From Indonesia to Suriname and from Holland to Aruba, they got it all in there and it’s just the same with their style. They were brought up with the old r&b/soul collection from their parents, but they also got the traditional Moluccan flows in them. Combined with the Afro-Caribbean rhythm ingrained by nature as they were raised with an island attitude, you can imagine it’s an interesting clash of styles. If you mash that all up with heavy alternative rock, behold: Afro Punk aka Urban Rock is born. Next to Rive, Rivelino is also active as a social entrepreneur.

16th of May

This Sunday we'll have a presentation of a book, start at 19:00!


Jitse Schuurmans is adventurer, anthropologist and author. De Versierkunsternaars, is his first novel.

They do exists. Pickup Artist: men that study the courting of women. For months Jitse Schuurmans immersed himself in this bizarre subculture, which resulted in an hilarious and often poignant novel.
This evening Jitse will present humorous sketches of his work in exchange with clear analyses of situations he encountered in the Seduction Community. And it goes without saying, he will shed a light on the seduction methods and techniques of Pickup Artist.

Because the book is written in Dutch, the presentation will be in Dutch as well. For all of you, book lovers, we're going to intall a real SLAVE bookstand, where you will be able to buy the book 'De Versierkunsteanaars'!



Our last surprise is this short preview of the book. Enjoy!

The Second of May

No, it's not what you think it is. I'm not talking about the famous painting by the Spanish master Francisco de Goya. The Second of May 1808 depicts the beginning of the uprising when the elite Mamelukes of the French Imperial Guard are ordered to charge and subdue the rioting citizens.
