Have a Seat!
In February, MAMA’s programme makers (2021–2022) Honey Kraiwee, Ratri Notosudirdjo, and Annosh Urbanke will organise during a weekend with sessions on storytelling. The programme Have a Seat! reflects through various events on storytelling in curating, in speaking with the audience, and the role of stories in healing and self-care practices.
Have a Seat! takes you into the gravity of stories, feelings, senses

The visual essay “The Timeless Morphs” 3 Body Sessions” proposes the physical body as a processual, non-linear, and moving archive. With which remembering is a timeless tool to liberate the disciplined, to empower the powerless. In the act of storytelling, the visual essay will be followed by a public gym session.

About IRL
Our lives are dominated by the self-produced realities that we encounter on the internet and social media. This tension between fact and fiction touches upon the core of our leitmotiv IN REAL LIFE. The only way to escape the post-truth is to meet each other in real life. We facilitate these meetings in the form of readings, lectures, masterclasses, workshops, excursions and parties that tangibly express the ideas behind HOME | IN REAL LIFE | NETWORKS.
