**So Happy Together**
In 2024 Roodkapje has been exploring collective practices and collaboration in a series of public evenings. On each of these gatherings, collectives were invited to share their ways of working through experimental cooking and sharing food. We actively explored questions such as: How to build a healthy community? What does it take to be hospitable? How can we find ways of collective self-determination? How can we live and work together with more than human collaborators?

**So Happy Together Publication**
This publication is a collection of recipes on working together within an (artist) collective and beyond. For anyone interested in cooking up collaboration. 
Contributors to the cookbook are: Florian Cramer, Katinka de Jonge, Simon Kentgens, Papaya Kuir, One Field Fallow, Jatiwangi art Factory, Questions Collective, The Post Collective, De Onkruidenier, Soupspoon, Kraakspreekuur, Doe Het Zelf Fietswerkplaats, Iconoclasistas, Singing Club Rotterdam, Reading Room Rotterdam, Paul (s)Mullenberg, Marloes de Vries

Guided by instinct, she crafts a seamless fusion of past and present sounds. Expect an unpredictable yet fluid journey through rhythms and eras, keeping the dancefloor engaged and moving.

**Ayoun**

[KRETEK](https://www.instagram.com/_ayoun/) is known for his electrifying Jersey flips and rhythmic mixes. With a ear for blending House, Bass, Riddim, and Club tunes. My sets are flexible to fit the event, and I can push the BPMs into Footwork and Ghetto House when the energy is right. I’m also a fan of Dembow and Arabic music, which I occasionally weave into my mixes and edits when it fits the vibe.

**Q.A.Q & Pala G.**
Since their collaboration began in 2023, rapper Q.A.Q and producer Pala.G have been delivering an electrifying mix of powerful lyrics and rich, immersive beats. Drawing from their Palestinian and Moluccan heritage, their music is a compelling mix of resistance and introspection. Q.A.Q’s thought-provoking verses flow seamlessly with Pala.G’s genre-blending and textured productions, ranging from raw, gritty beats to grand, orchestral arrangements. Projects like Onotani (2024) and their upcoming album “Sous les Pavés, la Plage!” pushes boundaries while inspiring both personal reflection and collective liberation.

**ZINEB**
The very first time ZINEB came in contact with music was at Moroccan weddings, family gatherings and celebrations. As a little kid, she watched her family dancing to Chaabi and Reggada. She heard the women in her family singing Izran and playing Derbouka. These experiences instilled in her a deep love and appreciation for Moroccan music, which naturally expanded into an interest in North African and West Asian music, often referred to as Arab music.
Today, Zineb mixes a spicy blend of North African and West Asian rhythms, Deep House, Raï, and Amapiano. As a Dutch-born DJ with Amazigh heritage, she brings cultural influences to her music, crafting a unique sound that captivates. Her journey has been about celebrating her roots while exploring new musical territories.

**Spicy Dokha b2b UGE93**
Spicy Dokha & UGE93 weave bass, jazz-kissed rhythms, and lush synths into a sound both intricate and immersive. Deep breaks, rich textures, and heavy sound design push and pull—between restraint and release, tension and resolution. A set that lingers, pulses, and unfolds in the spaces between.

**Derozan, Luke Cohlen & mangruv**
Derozan and Luke Cohlen join forces for a second time, inviting Mangruv as an instrumentalist into their DJ set. The two connect through a multi-deck, non-linear mixing style that is characterized through constant surprise and improvisation. Flowing between disjointed, rhythmic dance tracks and minimalist, texture-driven music, they play sounds situated in cultures and zeitgeists alike, as heard through their platforms Global Dance Suspense and aural conduct, respectively. This time, they are joined by none other than rhythmic wizard Alek, aka Mangruv—a virtuosic drummer, audio engineer, and producer who runs Studio Scarlab. Mangruv has performed in various impromptu, raw outfits such as Warlock and performs live with his electronic side in the experimental club scene. The last (and first) time Derozan and Luke did this, they had Andy from The Ex on guitar—so expect a whole new left turn when a percussionist comes into play.

Trained in classical ballet at the Rudra Béjart Ballet School, they performed as a soloist with The Baltic Dance Theater before shifting their focus to transformation practices, particularly Butoh, which they have studied since 2014. Now based in Paris, they explore movement as a form of embodied resistance and evolution, performing while integrating methodologies such as Body-Mind Centering, Continuum, and somatic bodywork. Their performance art is most commonly found in cabarets, galleries, and club spaces like the former De School Amsterdam and Griessmuehle Berlin.

**deBasement**
Welcome to [deBasement](https://www.instagram.com/debasement.now/) – born from the afterhours parties of Montreal and New Orleans, deBasement is comprised of Alli Logout, iconic vocalist of the critically acclaimed punk outfit Special Interest, and Margo XS, an esteemed DJ and highly in-demand producer who collaborates with pop stars such as Zara Larsson and Kim Petras, and underground darlings like Ayesha Erotica and Mowalola.

Blasting onto the scene with their double single debut “FRONT LEFT SPEAKER / FTDJ (Thank God)” via In Real Life [Peggy Gou, Erika DeCasier, Luna Li, MethMath] in August, deBasement has already captivated listeners with their futuristic production, punk confrontation and undeniable vocal hooks. Deeply inspired by and uplifting their FLINTA community, deBasement is rewriting the rules of LA’s DIY queer rave scene with their explosive live sets, and has already supported acts like Model/Actriz, Hannah Diamond, and Marie Davidson (who will feature on their debut EP outFeruary 2025). With just a few releases under their belt, the duo’s unique blend of dance punk and modern ghettotech has already caught the attention of Pitchfork, AG Cook’s Wandcamp Media, Our Culture Mag, Matt Wilkinson on Apple 1, Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1, and more. In a landscape saturated with predictable dance music, deBasement is injecting a much-needed dose of raunchy, raw authenticity – and its only just the beginning.

**Plastic Persoon**
Since we are all simultaneously yelling how unique we are, I decided to rename myself [Plastic Persoon](https://www.instagram.com/plasticpersoon). An Avant Gabber act consisting of Sob (45ACIDBABIES, FFOOSS) and Juna (Imhotel, Gita Buhari). Both brutally loud and relatable to people who want change. Kicking against the status quo every minute of every day is exhausting. Plastic Persoon is a coping mechanism.

**Aidan**
[AIDAN](https://www.instagram.com/sn0rl4xx_/) is the solo-project of British-Dutch singer, songwriter en multimedia artist Aidan Smit. Dark, infectious electropop, combined with a perfectionist aesthetic through creative visuals, symbolism, fashion design, choreography and performance art are absolute musts for the brain of their consumer.

AIDAN wants to captivate their audience in their own reality and carry them through their wildest fantasies. AIDAN’s work is described as “genre-bending”, based on different genres, including IDM, Hyperpop, industrial HipHop, melodic house and avant-garde. AIDAN is fascinated by absurd as well as extraordinary subjects: gender identity, social hierarchy, sexuality, drug abuse.

Their projects are intertwined with personal struggles, and he hopes to bring these to life in a conceptual way. At the moment AIDAN is working on their debut EP, their martial arts techniques and world domination.

**VJ ZZeevonkk
**[ZZEEVONKK](https://www.instagram.com/sjoerdvkampen/) is the multidisciplinary project of music producer and programmer Emery van Kampen.
Having grown up with the dawn of the internet, they've taught themselves to code, design, make video games and create visuals with open-source software. Over time they've learned to put their non-binary energy into the binary. Using a camera and sound, they combine it with ASCII, glitch art and emoji aesthetics to create a storm of colours and moving pictures that fit perfectly with the resurgence of Y2k-aesthetics, while still feeling fresh. 

**About Pretty//Ugly**
Pretty//Ugly is an individual organizer and volunteer active in the DIY scene and hosts shows at OCCII – Amsterdam and Roodkapje – Rotterdam. Their goal is to facilitate artists who step out of the “doe maar normaal, dan doe je al gek genoeg” attitude and burst open the narrow framework on what a show is and can be. The impetus is to dance, mosh, move around with our fellow goblins, elves, rats, snails, dogs and cats

*Is there an end to this wave of frenetic Australians turning the world upside down?* Let’s hope not. We also hope that you didn’t get too comfortable in our months of absence. In May you will get back to brushing up last nights bruises, because you’ve been spotted in the wild again. It’s time to get ready, time to get riled up, time to Go Hard! **We got just the thing for you on May 25: Arse and Robbie Thunder. A double trouble Australian bill.**

**ARSE**
ARSE is a punk band built for the times. The Sydney trio’s genre-blasting tunes nail the modern condition in a way that's universal yet undeniably Australian all at once, as evidenced on Kaputt, the band’s most unhinged offering to date.

In 16 minutes of raw power, Kaputt skewers everything from climate denialism to crooked law enforcement. “Shame Bomb” channels Diesel and Dust-era Midnight Oil with a protest song about the destruction of Australia’s dead heart. Elsewhere, “Night Shift Blues” sounds as if Flipper slapped the Stooges. Then there’s the title track; equally indebted to classic ’80s hardcore and the scorching psychedelia of Tropical Fuck Storm and King Gizzard. *Somehow, it all manages to sound like pure ARSE.*

The eccentric mash-up has put ARSE on bills with Aussie punk royalty Amyl and The Sniffers, Cosmic Psychos, Hard Ons, These New South Whales and Civic. It’s also further proof that Grupo Records, co-founded with drum/sax powerhouse Party Dozen, is one of the most exciting indie labels in Australia.
**
ROBBIE THUNDER**
Ramones were once called the smartest dumb band of all time. In which case, Newcastle based power-pop heartthrob Robbie Thunder is probably the second or third smartest dumb band (or artist) of all time. Rock n roll to ruin any nice occasion.

Nospray:  Arse + Robbie Thunder

**Die Verlierer**
[Die Verlierer](http://www.dieverlierer.de/)’s second celebration of sound, their new album Notausgang (emergency exit), is an enrapturing manufactured approach to the nostalgic turns known to few as 70’s punk n roll, now released on Mangel Records. With shades of both American and German influence, Die Verlierer are lyrically exploring riotous and somber notions of both public concerns and private endeavours. The unified sonic realm does its job accordingly, with a thick determined timbre of bass, sharp guitars and rolling drums –Die Verlierer create a sound as clear as a broken glass. Through the course of 14 rich tracks, the band will take you on a journey between the busy cross roads of early- and post punk, mixing fast beats and slow&heavy melodies. 
(Nova Nachtom Mautner)

**Desinteresse**
[Desinteresse](https://www.instagram.com/desintresses/) is a Dutch coldwave band consisting of Bart (bass), Joppe (drums) and Sem (vocals/synth/guitar). The band comes from the southern province Limburg and was officially formed in November 2022. The band started out as a duo, but has been functioning as a three piece since 2024. Their latest release is the 7” single ‘Grijze Dromen’ (August 2024). All releases up until now have been released on their own label ‘DECADENCE’. Their aim is to recreate the sound from a past era, using only analog equipment, seeing this as a form of art, identity and expression. Cold, abandoned and non-existential feelings mark the melancholic and gloomy atmosphere on stage. Still sounds and voices are not primary - though the message is.

anarchive Guided Tour 

*Not all the connections between performance and illustration have yet been fully explored. On the occasion of the **Rotterdam Illustration Festival**, the **Platform for Extratonality** has curated an evening to bring us closer to this connection. Three acts will show the intersections of these two fields. The evening will be opened with the results of the **Graphic Notation Workshop** that took place earlier that day.*

**Happy Fuji News** is a surrealistic dive into the world of apps, geology, tourism, love and more, done in a joyously performed proto-cinematic way. It is a live-edited "movie" made out of 201 woodcuts, written, carved and printed by **[Eric Kinny](http://santeloisirs.com/erickinnyhfn)** over the course of 2016 - 2022. Prints are shown and thrown at the rhythm of an audio soundtrack with MIDI guitar music by Raphaël Desmarets and characters voices by McCloud Zicmuse, Siet Phorae, Molly Rex, Ma Clément, Alice Perez & Joey Wright, for a total length of 30min. The story follows the unlikely story of a touristic guide on the foothills of Mt Fuji in Japan, trying to make sense of life after facing harsh Tripadvisor reviews of the mountain.


**interstellar** is a temporary shared practice collectively brought to life by video artist **[Video Boy](https://www.instagram.com/video_fuel_boy/)**, illustrator **[Jacco Jansen](https://www.jaccojansen.nl/)** and musician **Pietro Frigato**. It spawns from their desire to tell stories together and to appropriate abandoned non-spaces by turning them into places of belonging and self-expression. Together, 
interstellar tells stories of entangled pasts, presents, and futures—stories that are of desire, hope, and love. It embeds and unfolds these stories into the crevices left behind and unseen. There is hope, and it blossoms in unexpected places; there is resistance, and it sprouts in the cracks. There is belonging and togetherness, and it is here and now — not in the future, nor in the past, not in the big and shiny halls. The beings interacting in this suspended space/time capsule, stirring together a cauldron of different media —a mix of obsolete and advanced technologies — celebrate the mere act of collective crafting as a sacred practice.

**[DRW](https://draw-it-with-others.org/)** is a lightweight web app where participants can contribute quick and gestural drawings transformed into vector graphics for live coding performances. DRW, accessible from smartphones, empowers audiences to directly influence the visuals in real-time. This system has been utilized in live concerts, where audience members' responses to the music in the form of drawings become part of the visual experience. DRW is in active development by **[Kamo](https://kamomomomomomo.org/)** and **[Chae](https://chae0.org/)**. It will be accompanied musically by **Logosamphia**! The alter ego of Iranian/Dutch audio artist **Sadra Hemati** who has released more than 15 albums on various international labels. He is a frequently booked artist at home and abroad. His live sets are energetic, chaotic and contain homemade instruments, questionable samples and various pieces of fruit with which he makes music.

**ABOUT**
The Rotterdam Illustration Festival is an initiative of Carmen José, Michael van Kekem, and Rachel Sender. They’re illustrators and educators. This festival is a response to the feedback they’ve heard loud and clear: illustrators want to feel more connected and less alone in the freelance world. We believe that by coming together, whether it's to learn, share, or discuss, we can all grow together. That’s why the festival is all about gatebreaking; tearing down walls and opening doors, instead of gatekeeping.

This is your space to meet like-minded creatives, swap stories, and find inspiration.

**REVEAL : anarchief
or, the spirit of Happenings transformed
Friday 28 February, 20:00-22:00**

Join us for the Big Reveal of Roodkapje’s exhibition *anarchief, or, the spirit of Happenings transformed*
With works and contributions by [Alice Strete](https://alicestrete.me), [Philippa Driest](https://philippadriest.com), [Iris van Velzen](https://www.droom-iris.com), [Maoyi Qiu](https://mmaoyi.com), [Samboleap Tol](https://www.samboleaptol.com), [Sandim Mendes](https://www.sandimmendes.com) and the [Hamburger Community](https://roodkapje.org/residency/) (Irene Cassarini, Julia Wilhelm, M.C. Julie Yu, Repelsteeltje and Tisa World). Come for the tour guided by Roodkapje's curator Wan Ing Que, hang out, meet the artists / anarchivists and witness the performances that will activate the anarchive on a #cosmic and #historical level. 

Some of you may be confused, because the exhibition has been open since May 2024. You can read more about it [here](https://roodkapje.org/anarchief/). Those who have visited may have had a strange sense of the expo space feeling like.. empty? underdeveloped? Many have asked the question: What’s up with that anarchive? Where’s the art? Who are the artists? The thing is, to transform Happenings into anarchival pieces proves to be a pretty nonlinear and unpredictable process. It’s difficult to grasp in your usual design, communication and production rhythms. The [*Art, Life Anarchive*](https://roodkapje.org/event/2024-08-art-life-anarchive/)  summer school in August 2024 was a first attempt to understand anarchival practice and things have been growing, disintegrating, adapting and reforming since then. Happenings been Happening (thank you Hamburger Community!!). We've been figuring it out. 

Five amazing artists accepted the challenge of becoming an anarchivist. They took their personal experiences of a Happening and translated it through their respective practices into the anarchival pieces. Since our anarchive is a celebration of subjectivity, it has been a pleasure to watch the special flavors each artist brought to the table. Although each uniquely to their own, what these artistsshare is a thoughtful, careful and especially intuitive way of working in which relationality and association play important roles. Ingredients for anarchival attitudes slowly emerge and inspire the anarchivists to come.

After months of presence in absence, shimmers, shadows and promises, this is it: Roodkapje’s anarchive in its first, stable-for-a-little-while form, that is at the same time its final form at het Delftseplein. We warmly invite you to the anarchive's grand reveal. 

We are happy! We are proud! Come celebrate with us!

**About the artists:**

**Philippa Driest** is an artist and initiator of [KIOSK Rotterdam](https://kioskrotterdam.com). Her practices revolve around topics of maintenance, community and distribution. In her work she explores different sites of contamination and leakage through publishing and research installations.

**Maoyi Qiu** lives and works in the Netherlands, their practice predominantly revolves around concepts of ephemeral communication, autonomy & anonymity, and somatic interdependency. These themes are often examined through the mediums of video, sound installations, and performance.

**Alice Strete** is an artist, researcher and chef in training. She’s interested in the intricate relationship between humans and the technologies they surround themselves with. Her work involves collaborative self-organising practices, publishing, and cooking, and explores topics from feminist technologies to the socio-politics of food. She is a member of the [Varia](https://varia.zone) collective and the [BioBulkBende](https://biobulkbende.org) food co-operative.

**Samboleap Tol** creates interactive installations and performances that delve into the postcolonial diasporic psyche, with a focus on psychological inheritance. Her practice is deeply influenced by Khmer spiritual beliefs, shaped by Theravada Buddhism, centuries of Hindu-Buddhist influence, Southern Chinese diasporic expressions of faith, and Indigenous Khmer spirituality. Ancestral veneration, in particular, forms the cornerstone of her thinking.

**Sandim Mendes** is a Cape Verdean artist born and raised in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.  She produces work that deals with the intersecting layers of personal and political histories, exploring the concept of identity within and between cultures. She thinks in images and creates new histories rooted in inherited memories and embodied intuitions. Through photography, performances, textile, drawings, printmaking and installations, she expresses her findings.

Futura Resistenza presents:  
Jacob Dwyer, Kim David Bots, Lyckle De Jong  
Lukas De Clerck  
Lucija Gregov  
+ DJ Cardboard Lamb  
  
for fans of: experimental, improvisation, avant-garde  
  
ABOUT JACOB DWYER, KIM DAVID BOTS, LYCKLE DE JONG  
Taking a scene from Jacob's upcoming audio drama, Tom's house, in which we listen to the diaristic meanderings of a man whose entered the house of an old friend whilst they're not home, scripted spoken words play out against, amongst and occasionally beneath the musical improvisations of Kim and Lyckle. As the man stands in the middle of a living room pushing his head up into a rotting Tudor beam that's holding up the ceiling, he remembers Tom and the things he would say. Performing together for only their second time, the trio will spar and merge words, instruments, foley and field recordings.  
  
ABOUT LUCIJA GREGOV  
Lucija is a cellist, improviser, composer and programmer of music events. She has been developing projects and researching in the fields of classical music, electro acoustic music, improvisation, experimental music, radio and sound art. Through many interdisciplinary collaborations, Lucija seeks to push the boundaries of traditional cello playing which further extend her interpretation, technique and ideas.  
Her instrumental cello practice is a starting point of the sonic exploration through which over time she disintegrated traditional techniques in order to discover a more personal and sincere sound aesthetic.  
Lucija uses a visceral approach to improvisation as a way to propose a distinctive way of creating, co-creating, thinking and performing in and about current sonic dynamics.  
She found improvisation to be a significant tool in enabling emergence of practice and sound materials that are open-ended and continuously transformative.  
In various collaborations, Lucija has further explored sound through practice of deep listening and environmental sounding to better understand social power of sound and extended recognition of its sources.  
  
ABOUT LUKAS DE CLERCK  
Lukas De Clerck is a musician and artist living in Brussels.  
His artistic practice is currently centered around the Aulos, an ancient Greco-Roman, double-reeded double pipe, that got extinct more than a millennium ago.  
After several years of delving deep in the practice of Aulos reed making and playing replicas of ancient instruments, he opens up his inevitably auto-didact artistic output in a more collaborative, multi-disciplinary way. Following the desire to strip the instrument from its enigmatic past, De Clerck created a new, contemporary Aulos: The Telescopic Aulos of Atlas.  
De Clerck’s approach is driven by playful curiosity with a strong interest in the process of transformation.  
Instead of conserving what is found, he invents what is not. A process that aims to be as radical, as it is careful.  
  
The Telescopic Aulos enables De Clerck to narrow down his research on the sound qualities of the instrument in which micro-tonality, psycho-acoustics and sound texture are central elements.  
Together with his phenomenological view on the instrument, his research has made him an unique voice in the revival of the instrument, introducing the instrument into different fields of music.  
In the margin of his research around the Aulos, Lukas De Clerck likes to work with recognizable, almost everyday sound production like gargling, whistling and sneezing. By putting these sonic happenings in an artistic context, a tension arises between the extra- and the ordinary.  
His music was released on several labels such as KRAAK, blickwinkel and Beyt Al Tapes and performed live in venues all over Europe such as Sonic Acts, STUK, UH Fest, Ancienne Belgique, Cave12,...
