End of residency event with Loom
Join us on Tuesday, September 30, for the closing of the Loom residency—a collective walk, a shared listening experience, and a moment to gather. You can register here.
Loom has been developing their artistic research project Rhine river rehearsal – reimagining a river with the Art & Spatial Praxis research group.

We will follow their audio tour Leaky Turns, Stories from Amsterdam's Waterlands and hear more from their past year of research and residency.

We begin at 14:30pm, meeting near the site of the audio walk. The walk itself will run from 15:00 to 17:00pm, featuring selected points along the route where we’ll listen to Loom’s newly released audio tour—on-site and through your own podcast app.

We will continue with a conversation and end presentation by the collective from 17:30 to 19:00pm, at Buurtwerkplaats Noorderhof (President Allendelaan 3, Amsterdam) accompanied by snacks and drinks.

Please note:
The event will be partly outdoors so bring a poncho or rain gear if necessary.

What becomes of water when we look at it through the lens of different artists and researchers? And how might it assist us in looking at the world differently? Seven practitioners individually welcome us to a water-related place in Amsterdam, and explain what this place tells us about water when we listen, look, and think carefully. Each interview is preceded by a listening exercise, guided by the voice of the interviewee; intimately connected to their chosen location. These recordings can be experienced onsite, or wherever you find yourself, with a moment to spare.
