FAAM invites you at her office in the historic building at the Grave van Solmsstraat 2, Utrecht, for the next edition of our nongkrong hangout:
We are proud to announce FAAM will be hosting our next edition of Nongkrongen in Utrecht: An informal hangout session organized once every three months. Hosted by alternating art- initiatives in and around the city of Utrecht we aim to facilitate a space to connect art-initiatives, artists and their communities. Or simply said: ‘To get to know eachother a bit better.’
FAAM is a grassroots organization based in Utrecht. FAAM connects young Utrecht-based
makers and researchers through transdisciplinary projects, often in collaboration with partners. From a project at the intersection of film, research and visual arts, to an exhibition during the annual History Month in collaboration with the Waterliniemuseum. FAAM stimulates boundless thinking and guides young makers, researchers, and organizations towards social change.
Join us on the 13th of September from 19:00-22:00 at Grave van Solmsstraat 2, Utrecht. FAAM will provide some (non-alcoholic) drinks and snacks, but also feel free to bring your own!
--This event is inspired by the Indonesian concept ‘nongkrong’, literally translated as ‘sitting aroung because your not doing any work’, essentially meaning ‘hanging out’. As a Dutch initiative we translate nongkrong to the Dutch 'werkwoord': ‘nongkrongen’, something we -somewhat ironically- consciously have to make time and space for.--
