GEMAAL OP ZUID07 sep 2025, A Place For Study: Building an Urban Union
Campus Studio Programma: Living Breathing Spaces no. I
Living Breathing Spaces no. I – a product of collective hearts
By Dorota Matejová
With Music and Poetry by: Lucija Gregov, Bernat Boronat, Lucas Bernardo da Silva, Denk neni, Mustapha Eaisaouiyen, Dorota Márföldi-Matejová, DJ ANTO
Cultuur en Campus Putselaan, Putselaan 178, open to all: free entrance
Living Breathing Spaces invite you to the place where music & poetry across multiple backgrounds and genres meet and resonate through the space of Cultuur&Campus Putselaan, a recently renovated building intended as a space for cultural dialogue, community encounter and shared learning, a place that holds old memories and through Living Breathing Spaces opens up for the first time to the public, thus beginning to create new encounters and new memories.
This event invites you to reflect on naturally emerging questions: What kind of space do we want to create as artists and human beings living during this time in this world, meeting in the city of Rotterdam? What kind of space can hold both our imagination as artists and as human beings transformed into reality? What kind of places do we want our voices, our art and our experiences and newly created memories to be embodied within?
During this afternoon we will encounter music and poetry by multiple Rotterdam-based musicians and poets, each of them bringing their distinctive voice and creativity into Living Breathing Spaces.
We will meet the music performed by Lucas Bernardo da Silva, sharing the intimacy and the depth of solo violin music; we will encounter the words of Mustapha Eaisaouiyen, embodying the poetry deeply rooted in the lived stories and culture of the local community; we will be embraced by the music-created-in-the-moment by Lucija Gregov & Bernat Boronat, exploring and opening up the space through their cello & bass clarinet immersive conversations; we will be invited into the music world of Denk neni, combining hiphop and poetry into one lived expression of resistance and love.
We will be welcomed by Janneke Absil & Kim Bouvy, speaking from the experience of the many created local initiatives and collective projects; and we will be guided through the spaces by Dorota Márföldi-Matejová, living her imagination and dreams through her poems and songs performed on various flutes.
Living Breathing Spaces is written & programmed by Dorota Matejová
This event is part of the Studio Programme Collective Learning for a Shared and Just City, curated by the COOP for Cultuur&Campus Putselaan.
