24.11.2024 – Finissage Spreading Seeds / Jong Fem Collective Effort: Food for Thought

On Sunday, November 24, we will festively close our exhibition Spreading Seeds: Ground for Growth! For this exhibition, we collaborated with The Young Artists Event, ARTCORE, and the Young Feminist Collective. We look back on a successful and well-attended opening and exhibition. During the Kunstlijn, we opened the studios of our creative hub and celebrated all the young creators featured in the exhibition. Different generations of makers came together at Nieuwe Vide, feminist zines were folded in the installation by the Young Feminist Collective Haarlem, ARTCORE created a mural to complement the portraits they made in collaboration with artist Julius Thissen. The section by The Young Artists Event was co-curated by Eva Zain van Dorst and featured intriguing installations by various makers.

Under the theme Spreading Seeds, we embraced the experiment (Ground for Growth) by exploring with young artists how development and change through visual art can lead to personal and societal growth. What do they need as nutrients for their own growth, and for the world around them?

Jong Fem Collective effort: Food for Thought

Jong feministisch Collectief (JongFem) would like to invite you to join us for the finissage of Spreading Seeds: Grounds for Growth. In this edition we are serving up food for thought within the framework of nutrients and community.

During the exhibition JongFems have shared our standpoints on growth within a societal and (mental) health context, however now we are shifting towards a physiological and environmental approach. We ask the (hungry) participants to take a place at the table and discover how we’ve navigated the paradox of needing to take for growth and progression without exploiting the ground we are building upon.

This finissage meal is held sustainably by focussing on foraging in an urban landscape and acts as a thesis for a new mindset focussed on fueling the minds and bodies of today’s society in an ecologically ethical and cost effective manner.
We invite those participating to bring an ingredient that (metaphorically or physically) feeds them. We as Nieuwe Vide provide additional (vegan) ingredients for a collectively made soup – ingredients for drinks (mocktails) and to make a snack.Bring herbs from your garden or tea stash, and let’s experiment with recipes using lavender, rosemary, and many more.
Ingredients: intersectional feminism, water, nettles, books, lavender, rosemary, chamomile, flowers, zines, listening.
