KIOSK Rotterdam - Since 2018 I run a space that started as a 3-month project in a former KIOSK space. KIOSK Rotterdam is a bookshop, (riso) print workshop, and a "Leaky Press". KIOSK functions as a meeting space for artists and critical thinkers. KIOSK emerged out of the need for an independent space for discussion, gathering and meeting. It is a space where practice and theory meet, following the thread of situated artistic practices as a way to express critique to our political, economic and social systems. It started off with a personal selection and grew to a collection of titles informed by people who visited, and shared their research and interests. The selection hosts radical/critical theory, fiction, poetry and self-publishing practices. KIOSK facilitates smallscale risoprinting possibilities and hosts a monthly riso printclub.
On Fridays, from 14.00-20.00, you can find me at KIOSK.

‘Vocabulary of Hospitality: Knock Knock’ curated by Merve Bedir
‘Vocabulary of Hospitality: Knock Knock’ - 'Vocabulary of Hospitality: Knock Knock' gaat over het vocabulaire van migratie, hoe die in de stad wordt toegepast en onthult de wirwar aan opvattingen en misverstanden rondom 'gastheer', 'gast' en 'gastvrijheid'. Het programma onderzoekt de complexiteit die inherent is aan de relatie tussen de 'gast' en de 'gastheer', die verschillende verplichtingen en spanningen omvat. Wanneer zijn de gast en de gastheer vreemden voor elkaar? Wanneer worden ze bezoekers? Wat zijn de drempels van vijandigheid tussen gastheren en gasten? In welke context zijn zij vijanden of gijzelaars van elkaar? Wanneer wordt de gast of de gastheer een spook?
