@ Brakke Grond, Amsterdam
17 February 15:00 – 16:30 CET

A roundtable discussion about mobility and reciprocity in international cultural exchange. Discussing matters like when working abroad, how do you not only work for your own advantage but also give back to the community you are visiting? How can this visit be a co-production based on reciprocity and what are concrete examples of this? What is holding us back from co-creating and working on a basis of equal exchange?

DEAR REVOLUTION
by Tasha Arlova

Dear Revolution is a personal letter to a revolution that started but never came to an end. A song of hopes, expectations, and fears, sung on warm August nights, and a promise for change, just before state terror gripped my homeland.

Dear Revolution,
Should I go and join you,
Or stay away,
And regret all my life?
