We cordially invite you for the opening of Museum as Parliament on Saturday 17 March, from 3 until 6 p.m. With a programme filled with music, presentations and short discussions and statements - with contributions from the Rojavan-Kurdish community in Eindhoven and the Netherlands and their network of artists and academics - this new public people's parliament will be inaugurated in the Studio of the museum.
Note this day in your diary; more information about the programme will follow soon.
Museum as Parliament
Museum as Parliament is inspired by The People's Parliament of Rojava which also opens in March 2018 in Dêrik, Rojava (North Syria). This parliament is a project by the Democratic Self-Administration of Rojava, North Syria, designed in collaboration with artist Jonas Staal and his New World Summit team.
The parliament connects art and politics and transforms the Studio of the museum into a new democratic space. For a period of a year the Rojavan diaspora in the Netherlands and Europe, together with the museum and the team of Staal, will develop a programme which will activate the parliament continuously.
