From the opening of Het Aanslag Loket, to Nederland is a Bad Idea, to late-night modular jam sessions, couscous Fridays, and the launch of a new snack menu: April at moezeum + cafe has already been full of unexpected moments and beautiful energy. From our upstairs neighbor spontaneously joining in to sing with us, to @anno_vdt @dohagome @westblaak010 now showing up behind the bar, to @saarvannoomibasra making Belastingbroodjes, and @yussername happily devouring them after the successful opening of her exhibition. And with more and more familiar faces turning moezeum + cafe into their new hangout spot, this was only the beginning. Thanks everyone for all the love and support so far.

 This Friday we will be speaking with a cult star. No, not Franky Sticks, Gyatso or Jeff Solo: but DJ Diaki Official from Mali. Nyege Nyege is bringing one of the heaviest line-ups to Rotterdam at WORM, which should be your go-to place if we want to live up to our title as the raw metropolis on the Maas. 

Nyege Nyege is one of the most exciting things to happen in music in recent years: the kind of movement that literally shakes the ground beneath your feet. Thanks to Fred, this beautifully balanced line-up of local talent and heroes of the African continent are finally coming together here, after jumping through endless visa procedures and bureaucratic loopholes just to make it to Rotterdam.
 We’ve had a soft spot for DJ Diaki for a while now. After he previously hosted Rwina at MONO and appeared during New Radicalisms two years ago, we’re excited to welcome him back for a stop at the moezeumcafé. This time not primarily for his wild musical skills, but to talk about another equally impressive project: building his own radio station in Mali. 
 Diaki will guide us through the socio-cultural and political context of Mali, the importance of an independent radio station, and the opportunities and challenges involved in creating one. Joined by longtime friend Cheb Runner as translator, and moderated by the wonderful Epifania. Before and after the talk, local talents Gqommando and Raven will set the mood with some seriously good sounds ahead of this beautiful line-up.

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘁 The Opening of het Het Aanslag Loket: and what an evening it was: a space filled with all these beautiful people, energies, communities and vibes. All together in our garage in Rotterdam Noord. With a witty opening speech by our moezeum director, vulnerable words by our city poet Benzo Karim, Growing Pains with their Frisse Start stunning newspaper, bringing up honest and straightforward contributions. And who will ever forget purple blue tax sandwiches of Sara Saar. With the moving tunes of Iraqiromancequeen and that unexpected, enchanting voice of the neighbor upstairs. And of course, the stars of the night: Yusser and the amazing participants Assata’s People Program, Tega Brain & Sam Lavigne, Nadim Choufi, Çağlar Köseoğlu, Santiago Pinyop and Nadine Stijns that made this challenging exhibition possible. With a special shout out to our (a)wake team: powerhouses Kim and Chaimae, and her support Khyra, Salma and unexpected force Ann.

𝗔𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗢 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹: 
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗯 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗞𝗘𝗬𝟵𝟭 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘅 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝟰-𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗲𝘇𝗲𝘂𝗺. Three people, too many cables, and a shared obsession with machines that don’t always behave. Cheb Runner moves through in-between sonic landscapes, blending analog and digital worlds, while KEY91 brings driving, ritualistic rhythms rooted in techno and North African percussion. Max Frimout joins from a place somewhere between engineering, sound, and movement, following the strange relationship between music, bodies, and systems.
 Together, they do what modular people do best: repeat, drift, get lost, start again. Somewhere between control and letting go, things might slowly slide into a collective trance or just stay beautifully unresolved. The public is invited to join the jam.

 Bring your own modulars, instruments, cables, frustrations, or unopened letters from the tax office. Everything can be plugged in, processed, or left to resonate. Or don’t sit back, watch, and let the sound do the work.
 In times when everything feels slightly off, this is an invitation to tune into something else for a moment. After the session, @moezeum exhibition ‘Het Aanslag Loket’ opens, with performances, food, and drinks. See you there 🌪️ Credits video (1) Salma Hassan Credits video (2) Reda Senhaji

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝟭𝟴:𝟯𝟬–𝟮𝟮:𝟬𝟬: ‘𝗛𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘁’ In the name of organizing public services and infrastructures of care for its citizens, the Belastingdienst periodically delivers a blue envelope in the mailbox of the Dutch tax-payer. In it is a letter marked by the words ‘aanslag’ (tax assessment), stating the amount you owe or are owed by the state. In the 𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘦𝘬 𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘕𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘢𝘭, ‘aanslag’ is defined as “𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦’𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴.” A word otherwise reserved for terrorist attack appears neutralized when wrapped in the patented blue envelope. Legitimized by its promise of care, the Belastingdienst seems to have a monopoly on ‘aanslagen’
 The group exhibition 𝘏𝘦𝘵 𝘈𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘨 𝘓𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘵 [𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳-𝘵𝘢𝘹 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳] uses the space of moezeum to build a speculative counter in which the agency of the aanslag lies in the hands of the common people and is directed back at the taxing structures themselves. The question this exhibition departs from: What would it look like to reclaim the aanslag, not in the name of care, but rooted in care itself? Can we imagine a counter for countering the structures that economically and psychologically tax us? Each work in the exhibition relates to the notion of the aanslag in its own way. While some confront the violence of the Belastingdienst’s aanslag, others enact their own aanslag, poetic or otherwise. Together, the works open up a space where visitors can work to intervene in these taxing structures–be they the state, the municipality, the university, or global governance systems tied to imperial power in the Global North. Het Aanslag Loket reads as a violent love letter: 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤* if we organize around it.

Latifa is already a legend in this neighborhood for her dedicated community work at Sol. But she also has a remarkable talent for cooking. Friday needs couscous, and couscous needs Jem3a, so we invited her to give this undervalued tradition a new home at moezeumcafe. This time, no instant couscous, because couscous demands time and love, and Latifa is happy to pour both into it. In a world where money and time are scarce, we want to make things easy for everyone. For just €10, you can enjoy a meal with 𝑙𝑏𝑒𝑛 (a traditional yogurt drink) or tea. And you get another scarcity for free: some love and gezelligheid. Spread the word, bring your friends, or make this first Friday of the month your new habit. 
Our first evening is Friday, April 3rd. We don’t want to disappoint anyone, so please DM or send us a message [email protected] if you would like to reserve a spot. But even if you decide last minute, don’t worry, we can’t be 𝑔𝑖𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑔: you’re always welcome! From 17.00 till op=op 𝗺𝗼𝗲𝘇𝗲𝘂𝗺 + 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 - 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆  𝟭𝟰.𝟬𝟬-𝟮𝟮.𝟬𝟬 𝗩𝗶𝗷𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗳𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟵 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲

𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝗷𝗮𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗵 As we prepare for the upcoming exhibition opening on April 17th, we look back with warm feelings on this video made by the lovely Diana. A short capture from the 3-day mujaawarah (neighbouring) sessions we held last December at moezeum with our guest mu’aallem (teacher) Munir Fasheh, known for his work on community-based and decolonial approaches to education in Palestine and across the Arab world. As we move into this year, we carry with us the learnings shared by the invited and welcomed participants, which continue to inspire our upcoming programming, gatherings, and exhibition. ‘Mujaawarah as the tool. Wisdom is the value. Soils are the substance that life is made of.’ We are grateful to all of you who joined these sessions and helped bring these valuable moments of mujaawarah into being. Together, we continue the search for new languages, concepts, and renewed hope for building a kinder world. Video by @diana.al.halabi

𝗛𝗮𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗯𝘆𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 Tomorrow, moezeumcafe will officially reopen its shutters
 This also marks the final day of our beloved Hamity, the face of the smooth tutorials, the heart of moezeumcafe, and, of course, the mastermind behind the signature soup. Tomorrow, we’ll be saying goodbye to Hamity as the boss of moezeumcafe and welcoming a new powerhouse: our Chaimae. That’s why Hamity won’t be behind the bar but right where he loves to be: behind the booth. For everyone curious to meet Chaimae, eager to show appreciation to Hamity, or craving one last taste of his legendary soup: come join us tomorrow! 
We’ve got sunshine, 🚀 ice cream, soup, and love for all of you. 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟬𝟱/𝟬𝟯 𝟭𝟰.𝟬𝟬-𝟮𝟮.𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗼𝗲𝘇𝗲𝘂𝗺 𝗩𝗶𝗷𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗳𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟵 Free entrance

(A)WAKE (@a_wake.world ) develops a blueprint for autonomous radio stations that amplify unheard voices through the NAQLA Program 📻 Selected for support through our Design Sector Internationalisation Grant Scheme, this two-year project brings together partners across Morocco, Jordan and Tunisia to strengthen urban communities through mobile radio infrastructure. (A)WAKE is a Rotterdam-based platform for bi-cultural and diaspora makers with roots in West Asia and North Africa. Through NAQLA, they're creating prototypes for mobile stations that provide space for marginalised voices while building sustainable urban networks 🌍 The mobile stations will be tested in Marrakech, working with regional partners @retro_cassetta (Morocco), @zawyeh.space (Jordan), Shouka (Tunisia) and spatial designer @jackbardwell . This work exemplifies how design can contribute to social equality and cultural autonomy, creating lasting infrastructure that empowers communities to tell their own stories 🔥 The Design Sector Internationalisation Grant Scheme opens again 16 February at 15:00 CET ⏰ #radiostation #urbannetworks #culturalautonomy #internationalisation #dutchdesign
