For the last OP=OP=Open session which came through our Open Space invitation, we are excited to welcome the anonymous bird
@alshaheenbabyfalcon to share their latest artistic disruption.
‘Libraries Are Not Supposed To Be Quiet’ responds to current political uncertainties where art is considered illegal, cultural workers are censored, and voices are muted. Started at
@p1projects and travelled to
@le_guess_who 2025, the project continues as an ongoing curatorial research on the alternative ways of production under surveillance and budget cuts. During this gathering, Al-Shaheen will present snippets from different interventions that took place in the research, followed by an open conversation on how to use public libraries as spaces for knowledge production, exchange, and indirect action work.
🗓 Saturday 6 December 2025
🕖 20:00 – 22:00
📍 Vijverhofstraat 29, Rotterdam
The event is for free, but Al-Shaheen will be collecting donations to support the educational initiative
