Framer Framed

On 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟑 𝐌𝐚𝐲 we celebrate the launch of the publication 𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑂𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝐹𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠: 𝐹𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑌𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑟 𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑑. In the last fifteen years, long-standing norms such as the autonomy of art, the neutrality of exhibition spaces, and the hegemony of Western art history have been increasingly questioned. This has been sparked by protest movements, shifts in academic discourse, and the amplified voices of communities long excluded from cultural institutions. In response, artistic and curatorial approaches have emerged that foreground relationality and re-examine history from a multiplicity of perspectives. 𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑂𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝐹𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠 is a 324-page anthology that explores the ways of working, remembering and acting that have shaped Framer Framed's continuous learning, while looking ahead to futures imagined collectively. In the spirit of this approach, to coincide with the launch we’re hosting a book fair with many collectives, artists, activists and independent publishers – including long-time collaborators and admired peers – who contribute to a rich culture of subversive publishing.

Join us this 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕 𝐌𝐚𝐲 for the finissage of the exhibition 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑠, including a conversation with curator 𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐯, artist 𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢 and researcher 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢, as well as a final opportunity to experience 𝐛𝐮𝐮𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐮𝐥’s performance 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐵𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝐵𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑠𝑒 (2026). In their conversation, Fabienne Rachmadiev, Inas Halabi and Samia Henni address the invisible yet lasting impacts of nuclear activity across different contexts. The discussion draws from Halabi’s work 𝑊𝑒 𝐻𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝐴𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝐾𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑖𝑛𝑑’𝑠 𝐷𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 (2019-20), which probes the possible burial of nuclear waste and the presence of man-made radiation in the Hebron District in Palestine, as well as Henni’s research into French nuclear colonialism in the Algerian Sahara, which formed the basis of the exhibition 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑇𝑜𝑥𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 in 2023. buulbuul's performance ties together several lifelines stemming from the regions of Kazakhstan deeply affected by nuclear testing and radiation. Blending ritual, voice and distorted soundscape, it reflects on the grief, rage and generational care that gets passed on amid the denigration of nuclear-affected soil, water and living beings.

Mark your calendars – on 23 May we host a book fair and celebrate the publication 𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑂𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝐹𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠: 𝐹𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑌𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑟 𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑑 📚 Launching during the fair, 𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑂𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝐹𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠 revisits – through multiple perspectives – the ways of working, remembering and acting that have shaped Framer Framed’s now more-than-fifteen-year history of collaborative exhibition-making, community organising and radical pedagogy. The special anthology reflects a commitment to working toward possible futures, especially those imagined collectively. In this spirit, we’ve invited old and new friends and collaborators – collectives, artists and independent publishers contributing to a vibrant culture of subversive publishing – to share their practices.

Het project 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑛 𝑣𝑎𝑛 𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑁𝑒𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠𝑒 𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑗𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑒𝑑𝑒𝑛 in Noord-Holland is officieel van start gegaan en wordt de komende maanden samen met heel veel mensen opgebouwd tot een monumentaal wandkleed. Het ontwerp is gemaakt door kunstenaar Raul Balai en is gebaseerd op historisch onderzoek naar de sporen van het koloniale en slavernijverleden van de provincie. Het initiatief werd oorspronkelijk opgezet in Groningen door cultureel ondernemer Ricardo Burgzorg in samenwerking met Stichting Groninger Kerken en is inmiddels in meerdere provincies gerealiseerd. Tijdens de kick-off bij Framer Framed kwamen verschillende stemmen samen, met bijdragen van o.a. initiatiefnemer Ricardo Burgzorg, kunstenaar Raul Balai, stadsdeelbestuurder Jan-Bert Vroege en Astrid Elburg, voorzitter van het Herdenkingscomité Slavernijverleden, die samen ook de officiële aftrap gaven. Vanaf nu kun je elke woensdag, donderdag en zaterdag meedoen bij Framer Framed. Daar werk je, samen met anderen en onder begeleiding, met textieltechnieken als borduren en punchen aan onderdelen van het Noord-Hollandse wandkleed. ▪️ Meld je aan om mee te doen → 🔗 IN BIO Ervaring is niet nodig.

On show in the current exhibition 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑠, artist Inas Halabi's 𝑊𝑒 𝐻𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝐴𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝐾𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑖𝑛𝑑’𝑠 𝐷𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 examines the material effects of radiation, both physically and metaphorically. Drawing on research by local nuclear physicist Khalil Thabayneh, the work investigates the potential burial of nuclear waste and the presence of man-made radiation in the Hebron District of Palestine. By placing red plastic filter sheets in front of the camera lens in various locations, different shades of red are generated to make visible the levels of radioactivity. The isotope Cesium 137, invisible but deadly, can be seen as a synecdoche for a more ungraspable invisibility – the systemic networks of power and control in the region. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞: 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕 𝐌𝐚𝐲, 𝟏𝟓:𝟎𝟎-𝟏𝟖:𝟎𝟎 At the exhibition's finissage, Halabi will discuss her practice’s concern with social and political forms of power and the impact of overlooked and suppressed histories. Alongside curator Fabienne Rachmadiev and researcher Samia Henni, she will reflect on the enduring yet often unseen impacts of nuclear activity across different contexts. ▪️Sign up → 🔗 IN BIO This event is in English.

As part of the 𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑂𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝐹𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠 book fair on 23 May, Framer Framed welcomes collectives, artists, activists, and independent publishers contributing to a vibrant culture of subversive publishing. Throughout the day, collaborators and publishers will host a series of presentations. At 14:00, HumDrumPress presents an Open Book session with artist Mirjam Linschooten and researcher Skye Maule-O’Brien, who will share their upcoming publication, 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ & 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑧𝑒: 𝑇𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑢𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑊ℎ𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑖𝑛𝑑. The project explores wind, wind technology, and the Dutch colonial footprint in Barbados and Curaçao, asking what the wind can reveal about historical power relations and the enduring structures of colonialism. Visitors are invited to engage directly with the publication: to access, interact with, annotate, question, critique and contribute to the collaborative publishing process. ▪️Sign up → 🔗 IN BIO (places are limited!)

The exhibition 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑠 is soon coming to a close. Over its course, we've reflected on the afterlives of nuclear infrastructures and how they continue to shape landscapes, bodies and collective memory across different geographies. We’re grateful to all the artists, researchers, contributors and visitors who have been part of it and who helped shape the conversations! To close the programme we invite you on 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕 𝐌𝐚𝐲 for the finissage, where a conversation between curator 𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐯, artist 𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢 and researcher 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢 addresses the invisible yet lasting impacts of nuclear activity across different contexts.

NEW PODCAST: follow the link in our bio to listen. This episode is a recording of the talk given by Keto Gorgadze at the launch of Errant Journal's ninth issue titled Companions at Framer Framed in Amsterdam on 18 April 2026. Keto’s talk begins from the premise that Russia is both a cold and a continental empire. Sharing the same landmass with its colonies has long obscured its status as a colonial power. Since Russia’s territory isn’t divided by an ocean, it was difficult for this imperial power ‘to point to the place on the map where civilization ended and backwardness began.’ Instead, climate became the domain where such borders were drawn, enabling the violence of dispossession through climate determinism. The subtropics of the Caucasus therefore, embodied a climatic ‘otherness’ where imperial officials modelled their extractivism on Dutch and British colonies in Southeast Asia. In this sense, the framework of tropicality—the construction of regions as tropical through racialized accounts of Indigenous peoples, as was also the case in the Caucasus—can be a lens for rewriting histories of tropical violence, interweaving trans-imperial histories of domination and resistance. Errant Journal issue no. 9, Companions in which Keto’s text appears is available on our website. Image: Paul Franken, Oriental cityscape (Tbilisi in the Caucasus), 1853.
