The Return of Religion and Other Myths

The Return of Religion and Other Myths is een grootschalig en veelzijdig project, bestaande uit de tentoonstelling The Art of Iconoclasm, een lezingenprogramma in het voorjaar van 2009 getiteld On Post-Secularism en de publicatie van een BAK Critical Reader over het onderwerp in 2009. Het project onderzoekt de populaire aanname van een terugkeer van religie in de publieke sfeer, hedendaagse politiek en Westerse media als een vormende ‘mythe’.

Stitching, Writing, Singing

Community Portal hosts...

In all continents, people have built matriarchal cosmologies sustained by complex rituals. In the advent of main modern religions and after centuries of colonizing invasions, the goddesses of antiquity were suppressed by the patriarchal structures that consolidated our era. However, they found ways to speak to us in the language of patterns, melodies, and poems. This workshop uses the voice as a method to reveal the presence of goddesses.

How to Set Up a Community Kitchen

b.ASIC a.CTIVIST k.ITCHEN brews...

During these sessions—part of the bASIC aCTIVIST kITCHEN (b.a.k.) program in collaboration with Berend Bombarius, De Voorkamer and BAK, basis voor actuele kunst—we want to collectively explore the topic of setting up community kitchens. Different strategies, tools, methodologies, and contexts are explored to learn more about the challenges and opportunities in the practices and theories of community kitchens.
