TUE 17 MAR:

DINNER + FILM & PANEL DISCUSSION: Невагома (Weightless)

Weightless banner

Join us for a film screening of Невагома (Weightless) by Marta Hryniuk and Nick Thomas, followed by a panel discussion with Marta and Nick and moderator Anna Melnyk.

>>> CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR PLATE <<<

In this film, Khrystyna Bunii travels solo across remote south-west Ukraine in pursuit of her anthropological research. As she encounters people and digitises their family photo archives, conversations and interconnections emerge. Conducting visual research into the trans-national region of Hutsulshchyna, Bunii pursues a political practice of self-narration from the margins of representation.

The sequences of this poetic journey do not simply elucidate the history of the region, but rather call for an associative labour from researcher and spectator alike, and finding people who want to talk about the region’s past is not an easy task. Made through close collaboration between the film’s directors and protagonist, Weightless combines observational and direct cinema style with staged performance and elements of documentary-essay.

We are interested in the complicated entanglements of eastern European countries – we want to know what can be learned and reclaimed from these histories and narratives, and how they shape people’s intersubjective experiences. We see these narratives as a part of a shared political space, and as a catalyst for imagining alternative ways of living and working together.

Khrystyna’s practice is an example of writing this history from below, in her home region, with a grassroots methodology. She works on a human scale and her methods are non-totalising, concerned with the lives of ordinary people. Her archiving forms a collective memory, and a call not to forget but to live with the joy and difficulty of Hutsulshchyna’s history.

Dinner: 18:00
Film Screening: 20:00
Panel Discussion: 21:15
Entrance: FREE

About the Filmmakers

Marta Hryniuk (b.1991 Poland) and Nick Thomas (b.1990 UK) are visual artists and filmmakers based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. They have worked together since 2019 collaborating on films, as well as leading workshops, programming, and assisting others in video and sound production.

Hryniuk and Thomas are founding members of WET film – a production and distribution cooperative for film, video and artists’ moving image, and are members of Filmwerkplaats, an artist-run lab for 16mm film processing.

They have presented their work internationally, predominantly as video and film installations. ‘Weightless’ is their first feature length film. Their film ‘Forces’ is in the Eye Experimental collection.

Before relocating to Rotterdam, both artists combined their individual practises with cultural organising. Hryniuk co-founded an artist-run space Silverado (2013-17, Poznań); Thomas worked as programme assistant at LUX Scotland, and a committee member at Transmission Gallery Glasgow.

WORKSHOP: ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY

Explore the World of Black and White Analog Photography in our 4-Week Workshop at Tankstation!

Are you feeling attracted by analogue photography, but you are afraid to start with it? Are you already an experienced digital photographer, but know nothing of the grandma of your camera? Have you been shooting analogue for the last decade, and are you missing a community in Enschede?

For you, and many others, we have organised this workshop. Throughout the four meetings, we’ll start from the basics and reach independence in the darkroom. We’ll learn how to shoot, develop and print black and white pictures, with no digital trickery.

Details

Every Saturday for 4 weeks, starting 2 March – 30 March
Time: 14:00 – 16:00
Where: Tankstation
Cost: €40
Student cost: €35

(Price includes: a roll of black and white film, 10 sheets of photographic paper and usage of the darkroom equipment and chemicals. )

What to Expect:
Week 1: Introduction and Getting to Know Analog Photography. Share your passion, meet like-minded individuals, and explore your photographic interests.

Week 2: How an analogue camera works and how to take pictures with it. Learn the basics of operating an analogue camera so you can start shooting and exploring.

Week 3: Film Development. Dive into the fascinating process of developing the film and bring your captured moments to life.

Week 4: Paper Development and Darkroom Experience. Experience the magic of the darkroom as you learn to print black and white images on photographic paper.

Don’t Have an Analog Camera? Even if you don’t own an analogue camera, you’re still welcome! However, we can not provide a camera for you, so we highly recommend you bring one. You can find many affordable analog cameras (less than 20 euros) in thrift shops and flea markets around Enschede.

Spaces are limited.

MONDAYS (WEEKLY): 4 MAR – 7 APRIL:

WORKSHOP: queer utopias

A songwriting project

queer utopias banner image

Do you have an affinity with music and writing? Do you want to explore how to use your own voice and express yourself creatively?

Are you a queer-identifying woman* or non-binary person between the age of 16-25 wanting to creatively explore the topic of what a utopian world could look like? Then this might be for you.

This 6-week Songwriting project aims to create a safer space within which queer-identifying women* and non-binary folks can creatively explore what a queer utopia might look like and how we can actively work on implementing these utopian ideas within the workshop space, facilitating potential for individual and collective empowerment and offering creative ways of finding your own voice.

Together, facilitators and participants will hold a safer space for each other where open communication, consent and transparency are core values.

There is no previous experience needed whatsoever, only curiosity and an affinity with the topic.

>>>READ MORE AND APPLY HERE<<<

*All trans and cis women are welcome to participate in this workshop. The workshop is focused on the queer community, though still open to allies with an affinity for the topic who do not identify as queer.

Facilitators

This pilot project is initiated by Maggy Katt (she/they), a 4th year music therapy student at ArtEZ Conservatorium who is passionate about empowerment through music and embodiment practice and the grey zone between therapy, activism and art making. Some of the sessions will be (partly) led by co-facilitators who will further be introduced in the upcoming weeks.

The results of the project will be used as part of Maggys’ arts-based and qualitative research within their bachelor thesis. Any possible photo, film or artistic material created within the project will only be used after official approval by the participants.

The workshop will take place at Tankstation’s workshop space. This space is also wheelchair accessible.

Details

The workshops will start on Monday, the 4th of March, taking place at Tankstation in the evenings from 6 to 8pm with little breaks in between. The workshop offers space for 10 participants max. So don’t wait too long to sign up!

Participation is based on donation, from 40€ for the whole 6 week trajectory. This will cover basic facility costs such as heating within the workshop space. Students may participate at a reduced fee of 35€.

If you have any questions you can contact Maggy via her email: m.katt@student.artez.nl or you can send us a private message on Instagram: @queer_utopias

During his long musical career, Alex Kelman has gained a fairly large musical baggage. He created many projects himself and took part in some as a guitarist: Punk TV, Hot Zex, TonySoprano, Dsh! Dsh! and other music bands in various years were noticeable and filled their own niche.

The latest Alex Kelman’s album “Ilusia” was released 15.03.2023 on Dutch label Geertruida (Digital, MK), Noiseme (CD) & Psychedelic Umami (LP). Album was recorded during 2020-2022. Most of the tracks produced by Alex Kelman, some in collaboration with different artists: dream-pop romantic Magnus Josefsson, shoegaze band Secrets Of The Third Planet, friend and colleague in the previous Kelman’s band Punk TV – Vladimir Komarov, old-school electronics guru, Inbox and crazy electorocker Kelly Perry.

In front of a new album release, Alex Kelman presented single “VHS” (Vysoka Hranica Snov – High Limit of Dreams) recorded in collaboration with a shoegaze/dream pop band The Secrets Of The Third Planet (vocals and guitars by E.Frankevich) and supplemented with a video clip filmed and edited by Anastasia Maystrenko and Vadim Levovenya

Leap Day Dinner: 12€

Chef: Kashyap

MENU:

NoMeatBalls (Sweden)

Bisi Bele Bath (Indian)
Pear Salad (Dutch)

Sachlav (Middle East)

Kungens Män started out in 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden, when a bunch of good friends decided to bring some instruments when hanging out. The random jam sessions became more and more regular and soon Kungens Män started recording it all, completely unfiltered and without safety nets. The music soon found its way to the internet and a buzz occurred, connecting with listeners all over the globe.

The inspiration comes from the drone, the rattle of the loose screw, the circuit failure of the effects, the phatness of the moog and from the very diverse wiring of a bunch of middle aged Swedish freaks. Kungens Män never plan the next musical move – it presents itself. Sometimes the costume sewn is really ugly, but somehow there’s always room for the sublime as you turn it inside out.

>>> CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR PLATE <<<

Have you ever looked at the world and felt outraged or disappointed at how we handle some aspects of our society? And have you asked yourself what could you do to bring about some much-needed change? Should you bring the topic at the dinner table, or should you create massive disruption on the streets? Perhaps you’ve wondered if you should start by changing yourself or if it would be best to target powerful individuals or institutions. What is the most effective way to build a better world for everyone? Is there a right or wrong when it comes to different tactics of resistance?

In this workshop, we’ll hear stories about resistance across the world and discuss together questions around different tactics for bringing about change in our communities and the world at large. Come prepared to share your own story, or simply to listen to other people’s stories and reflect on your own.

This workshop is led by Patyt Reyes, PhD candidate in Political Philosophy of Technology at the University of Twente, and member of Extinction Rebellion Twente.

(You can also indicate you’d like a vegan option or let us know about any allergies in your reservation, Tankstation prides itself on being diet and allergy friendly)
