I was honoured when my friend @verakersting an amazing painter (trussss)asked me to join her workshop on patchwork activism and propaganda at @tentrotterdam (thank uuuu💗)A subject that felt especially alive with everything happening in France right now.

When it was time to make something, I quickly realised I had no idea what was technically possible. This piece meant something to me, so I really didn’t want to mess it up. I started with the only things I could trust: colour, shape and intuition.

That led me to the two halves of a heart.

The first idea wasn’t heartbreak. It was about the “other half”. How we are taught to search for someone else to complete the heart, when maybe finding love within yourself is the completion.

I first tried making the hearts from foam paper. Vera told me “bro dat foam ain’t gon work ur beautiful revelation will disappear in the washing machine” she showed me a pile of fabrics I could pick from to iron in my piece

That’s where I found a piece with the word PATH on it.

And the work began to explain itself.

The split heart could now also hold all the heartbreaks we meet along the way. Romantic, friendship, work, life, dreams. The dark parts. The uncomfortable parts. Not places where the path ends, and not detours from it. They are part of the same path.

You move through them. The path continues, slowly narrowing towards whatever truly matters to you: love, satisfaction, purpose or perhaps just peace

I didn’t know what I was making when I started. I was already on the path bby xox

Wat is nu enger dan de huidige politiek? Met Halloween in het vooruitzicht kun je zondag 18 oktober deelnemen aan ‘Draag je hart op je …Patchwork workshop’ van kunstenaar Vera Kersting.

Via patchworktechnieken, borduren en schilderen met textielverf krijgt je stem een beeld, die je kunt dragen op kleding, tassen, vlaggen, noem het maar op. Ook wordt besproken hoe visuele taal een krachtig middel is om je mening zichtbaar te maken en een nieuwe realiteit te verbeelden.

Neem je eigen kledingstuk mee, zodat je je patchwork er direct op kunt dragen. Geen kledingstuk mee? Geen probleem! Je kunt het ontwerp ook achteraf ergens aan vastmaken.

Wanneer: zondag 18 oktober
Tijd: 13:00 – 16:00 uur

Er is plek voor 10–12 deelnemers. Meld je aan door een mail te sturen naar dina@tentrotterdam.nl

“Botanologia: Snacks from the pacific”
🌮🍚🍢🧋🌴🦈☀️

Se presenta en @sanildefonsomx en el marco de la exposición “Somos Pacífico”

Tomando como inspiración la serie de murales de “Pageant of the Pacific”, de Miguel Covarrubias. Pintamos una cartografía actualizada, un mural/lona que funciona como un bootleg, la versión contemporánea, o el mapa que cubre el vacío que dejó el desaparecido mural Art Forms of the Pacific Area.

El propósito de crear esta nueva cartografía, es hibridar antropología gastronómica, rótulos y
caricatura, en un proyecto definitivamente didáctico y divertido, en un contexto en el que el
mapamundi sigue cambiando, día a día, no solamente en términos bélicos y territoriales, durante
la consolidación del capitalismo más brutal y violento, sino también y por consecuencia, en
términos comerciales, culturales, políticos, ambientales, económicos y sociales.

Esta especulación propone una perspectiva más amplia, no solo sobre un presumible intercambio de mercancías, sino también de tradiciones, creencias y saberes entre los pueblos del Pacífico, con el mar como
cuenca donde todo se revuelve. 🏴‍☠️ @autoconstruido

🗣️ My last public performance of the year.
.
This Friday, the 6th of March, I’ll be performing at Jazz, Coffee & Wines in The Hague with Seb Wrincq, Emilio Maggiore and Branko Valchev.
.
Together we bring "In Their Shadow", a tribute to three vocalists who have long been guiding lights for me in my vocal development: Abbey Lincoln, Miriam Makeba and Nina Simone. Women who used their voices not only to sing, but to confront injustice.
.
My mother taught me that a voice is more than sound. It is something you carry with responsibility.
.
After this concert I will be stepping away from the public stage for a while. This will be my last performance of the year. I want to devote time to my making practice, my family, and the work that grows behind the music.
.
You are warmly invited to come and listen.

Gastrogeografía: “Historias de México a Singapur”

Una extensa investigación 📚 sobre las botanas de ambas regiones. A partir de examinar libros de cocina, revistas populares, envases de comida, anuncios y otros materiales impresos, desmenuzamos historias paralelas que existen entre Singapur y México, en particular sus complejas relaciones con el legado colonial y el sincretismo culinario.

Este proyecto integra pinturas, platos 🍲 🍽️ esculturas, manteles y otros materiales impresos, junto con contenido de vídeo que fusiona la gastronomía con las mitologías de ambos lugares 🇸🇬🇲🇽

Este proyecto se presenta en @singaporeartmuseum durante @sgbiennale frente al puerto de Tanjong Pagar, un centro histórico de intercambio de productos alimenticios, que simboliza el comercio que conectaba el sudeste asiático con América Latina y Europa.

Hot off the heels of their @sgbiennale launch, @chaosbyknn is proud to present a very special snippet of work by the talented RRD @erreerrede (group) and @verakersting. ❤️‍🔥😎 Red de Reproducción y Distribución, or Reproduction and Distribution Network, are a Mexico City based collective that reimagines the public realm by reclaiming existing systems of reproduction and distribution through editorial and audiovisual projects. 🇲🇽🖨🎧

Presented in the form of a collection of self-pirated appropriations in constant discussion, this exhibition is a reflection on the concept of reproductions: prints, zines, shirts, and the genealogy of printing machines. 🫡🏴‍☠️ These works bring together examples of graphic arts to examine the development of these fields over the last century, as well as their role in popular culture. 🤔📚

👁 PS: We have a couple of interactive sculptures for you to meet, but no spoilers! Come and discover them yourselves! 🤭

📍 261 Waterloo Street, #02-25, 180261
🕕 Hours: Tue-Sat, 1-6pm & Sun 16/23, 1-6pm
🗓 Duration: Until 23 November 2025
