  NederTürk, Feministiese Filmgroep Storing & The Watermelon Woman
  Film & Discussion (€ 7,50 / € 3,75)

How to tell your story when in the archives you find only gaps and distortions? In this programme, part of Feminist Assembly Month, we delve deeper into crossmedia archives together with Süheyla Yalçın (NederTürk), Mieke de Wit (Feministiese Filmgroep Storing) and moderators Tabea Nixdorff and Setareh Noorani (Feminist Design Strategies). Plus a screening of The Watermelon Woman (1996, English with English subtitles), a milestone of New Queer Cinema in which autobiography and fiction meet.

Update: unfortunately Süheyla Yalçın will not be able to attend this evening.

• 9pm-12am

  Music & Dance (Free)

As the closing act of this evening, DJs Cijntje and Donn Stone turn Het Nieuwe Café into a dance club filled with African vibes, with special performances from percussionist Ceciel Moyano and singer Niiah Music. Plus cocktails and bites.
