Intimate Gatherings at DAY Collective studio
These series of gatherings are a part of a bigger project Stories of Sloterdijk to be presented 27 September at Lycka Buurtkamer. It is an art installation that shares experiences of forming Sloterdijk neighborhood. Through “Portraits of the Residents” by Rashel van der Schaaf, “Intimate Gatherings at DAY Collective Studio” by Dorota Radzimirska and Yulia Ratman, and “The Greenery” by Kian Eslami, the authors explore what it means to grow together as a community.
February concert by Emaline Delapaix
Emaline is a vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who writes ethereal and haunting chamber folk pop songs on acoustic guitar, piano, celtic harp, and other bowed instruments. She also plays a handful of Nordic and Western European traditional songs exploring her ancestry. Her love of nature and being an only child led her to write poems, stories, and eventually, songs about the wild world around her. Her songs are authentic and raw at times; her lyrics are poetic, dealing with depression and mental health, healing nature, ancestor stories, animal welfare, love, chronic illness, human dignity, and self-worth. https://emalinedelapaix.com/tour.html
The first Groei en Bloei gathering — Handpan concert by Open Mike
“For me, music is an instrument to lose myself in the moment and express whatever wants to be expressed. When being totally present in the moment, it reminds the listener to do the same. This is the place where great Peace is found and where Magic comes alive. In my music, this is translated into a variety of beautiful and lively sounds: harmonious and uplifting, rhythmic or slow and flowing. Always played with great joy. My name is Open Mike and I play the Handpan.”
— Mike.
