𝗥𝗲-𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿 (𝗥𝗲-𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿) as a subtle act of bringing parts together again, not into a fixed whole, but as fragments staying in relation.

Join the third edition of the @whilekitchening series of Open Kitchen TakeOvers; 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲𝘀; a kitchen-ing based project series hosted by the b.ASIC a.CTIVIST k.ITCHEN. This 28th of May, from 17:00 until 20:30.
In this edition, Mire (@miremoschella) facilitates a multisensorial space to re-membrar (re-member), as part of the ongoing research project Rooting Otherwise. Within Multilingual Recipes, we approach recipes as a collective language, one that is spoken through bodies, the knowledge they carry, and their transmissions. Languages that shift across beings, and are continuously rewritten together.

Re-Membrar isspace to share stories, to rest, to read, to imagine, across territories, with fragments from Speaking to Nobody by Changli, Salt Traces by Fleur Carlier, and Rooting Otherwise. Opening a collective space of memory, stories that might touch, overlap, or remain apart.
In the second part of this experimental gathering, we will collect what has been stirred. Working with Kully Sara (purple corn) as an ancestral dye collaborator, we will paint and weave traces of these memories.

You are invited to bring your own stories, spoken, carried, or sensed, to become part of this weaving. We gather also in collaboration with non-human: seeds, rocks, caves, allowing these presences to shape how memory moves and settles.

El Pago a la Tierra and 奠酒 are both rituals of reciprocity with the land, bringing people together through shared acts of offering, burning, sharing, and drinking. Fire serves as a transformative element that connects participants and activates collective memory. We combine a kind of chicha, sacred across Abya Yala, with Mi Jiu (rice wine) used in offering practices among ethnic minority communities in the southwest of China. This gathering creates a space for exchange between territories, traditions, and spirits.

Changli Cui Luo and I, as part of our ongoing research with While Kitchen-ing, shared our rituals and encountered each other in the middle; our bodies will be containers to mix these ways of appreciating the land, inspired by situated knowledge from our territories. Join our open ritual this Friday, the 15th of May, at @mediamatic_ (Dijksgracht 6, 1019 BS Amsterdam). We will start setting up the space at 2:00 pm, and we will continue until the last wood in the fire burns.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯.𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗖 𝗮.𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗸.𝗜𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻-𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 invite you to the third of their series of Open Kitchen TakeOvers, called: Multilingual Recipes; kitchen-ing based project series. The performative gathering Will This Land Hold Us? is inspired by rituals and humming practices from Southwest China and Southern Iran. Changli and Fatemeh use the body as an image, and memories of food as a language to connect with their “migrant bodies”.

The performance explores bodily forms of expression that challenge the confines of language. Together, we invite each other and the audience to use rice and humming for ritual as a way of communicating and connecting our memories and the lands. Can “hum” and “food” be a language to trace the unspoken memories which had impacted us? How can we root ourselves in unfamiliar soil, and how can collective presence become a form of healing? Will this land hold us back when we are standing on it and performing rituals from another land? This performative gathering is both a dialogue and a hum, a cross-cultural collaboration that does not rely on a single language, and an ongoing search for a sense of belonging. We try to hold each other while trying to connect with the land around us.

𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙪𝙢 𝘿𝙪𝙤
The Hum duo consists of Changli Cui Luo and Fatemeh Asiri both based in Utrecht. Together, through their duo they work with performative languages to connect with their “migrant bodies”. Hum to them is not simply a sound, but that subtle vibration that bridges bodies, memories, and geographies. For Changli and Fatemeh, hum embodies a state of becoming, an ongoing attunement to the frequencies of lived experience, the voices that have been silenced, and the stories and memories that persist in movement.

Come into the 「kitchen」 with us — here's a little about who we are！🥘

While Kitchen-ing is a practice-based research collective, a multilingual kitchen group originally founded by MAFA alumni, working across English, Chinese, Spanish, Farsi, Arabic, Greek, and more, that treats cooking as a form of collective learning and political action.

For us, the kitchen is a space of sharing, knowledge, and care. As we come together to cook, exchange recipes, and share our cultures, as well as our artistic practices, we explore how we care for one another, and by extension, for those we encounter through our collective work. Catering and serving meals become integral to this process, as forms of care and collectivity extend from the kitchen to the table.

For us, the kitchen is also a space to create, imagine, and experiment collectively through the lens of sustainability and connection. We engage with our surroundings by sourcing ingredients, walking through local markets, and sharing conversations—finding ways to connect to the land and "nearby" in the Netherlands through food, language, and everyday practices.

For us, the kitchen becomes a site to rehearse non-hierarchical ways of working, where roles such as chef, artist, researcher, organiser, and activist continuously shift and overlap. By working in this way, we challenge fixed divisions of labour and open up a space for collective responsibility. This process also prompts us to reflect on how food is shaped—not only by those who prepare it, but also by the availability of ingredients and the social systems that influence what and how we eat.

Next week Thursday is the second of 𝙈𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙚𝙨; 𝙠𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙣-𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 🌀hosted by the b.ASIC a.CTIVIST k.ITCHEN and organized by @whilekitchening . We welcome @anapofasisto (Athina Koutsiou) for 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙆𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙎𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙨 . This workshop lets participants transform food scraps — onion 🧅 avocado 🥑 mandarine 🍊 orange peels, or any other ingredients they bring — into masks, using the peels, carton, glue, needles, and thread 🪡 Through playful mask making, participants explore memories, emotions, and shared experiences around food gatherings. 
 
By visually mapping the forms and colors of the emotions around the table and engaging in shared dialogue, a shared meal is formed by the ingredients brought. The scraps are transformed into wearable masks that become symbols of protection, defiance, vulnerability, and power. The role of the mask is claimed not as an object to hide behind and act, but rather as a tool to express and reveal aspects of ourselves that remain hidden 🌫️
 
The act of wearing, sharing, and being in these masks playfully transforms into a participatory performance. The session invites reflection on how we act when emotions are visible and how using discarded materials can reshape our understanding of creativity and value. It asks: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Disclaimer: This workshop doesn’t aim to fix, regulate nor deal with emotions, but rather honor and mobilize them, using art as a tool of self expression. 

The workshop has limited capacity, please sign up by writing an email 📧 to joining@bakonline.org. For your participation, including dinner, we ask for a donation between €8-15!

Join the first of the @whilekitchening series of Open Kitchen TakeOvers 🌀 called: 𝙈𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙚𝙨; 𝙠𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙣-𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 , hosted by the b.ASIC a.CTIVIST k.ITCHEN. This week welcomes back artist @sooophiawx with her workshop and performative lecture 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙢 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨, 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙖𝙨 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙡. It unfolds through a series of simple, ritual gestures: washing hands, kneading dough, and preparing youxiang 油香 — a traditional fried bread 🍞 made during Hui family rituals of remembrance. 

“I watch as flour slowly settles into the lines of my palms. At that moment, I became an imitator of Fatimah and Aminah from my hometown. I never needed to learn how to knead; I know how to scrape the wooden board clean with a cleaver. When I touch the flour, I return to childhood — a life I had only momentarily forgotten while rehearsing another.” 

Moving between spoken reflection and embodied repetition, the work attends to forms of knowledge 💭 acquired without instruction: gestures carried in the body, transmitted through watching, and sustained even as languages, images, and public narratives are reshaped. 

The performance dwells on flour embedded in skin, the rhythm of kneading, and the quiet persistence of certain movements across time. Audiences are invited to witness the unfolding, to listen 👂 to smell 👃 and to touch the dough. 

This event welcomes anyone interested in 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆, 𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹, 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. The workshop & performative lecture is open to all! For your participation, including dinner, we ask for a donation between €8-15  

The series is part of an ongoing, bountiful, collaboration with the collective and a continuation of the research trajectory started during Fase2 of Basecamp, focused on mapping languages within and around the kitchen space and practice.

Moving between spoken reflection and embodied repetition, the work attends to forms of knowledge 💭 acquired without instruction: gestures carried in the body, transmitted through watching, and sustained even as languages, images, and public narratives are reshaped. 

The performance dwells on flour embedded in skin, the rhythm of kneading, and the quiet persistence of certain movements across time. Audiences are invited to witness the unfolding, to listen 👂 to smell 👃 and to touch the dough. 

This event welcomes anyone interested in 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆, 𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹, 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. The workshop & performative lecture is open to all! For your participation, including dinner, we ask for a donation between €8-15  

The series is part of an ongoing, bountiful, collaboration with the collective and a continuation of the research trajectory started during Fase2 of Basecamp, focused on mapping languages within and around the kitchen space and practice.
