Local Gr0up together with @ganok.amsterdam are organising a fundraising art market on May 30.
📍Plantage Dokhuis, Amsterdam
⏰13:00 to 21:00.
We are currently inviting artists, designers, vintage sellers and independent brands to take part in the market (approx. 30 stalls).
Alongside the market, the programme will include live music performances, film screening and a vegan kitchen.
If you are interested to join, please apply using the form in the profile description. There is a participation fee to cover space and promotion.
For additional details, feel free to reach out.
Ganok invites Local Gr0up to showcase 7 short films made by Ukrainian filmmakers in Ventilator Cinema 10th of April 19:30 in Amsterdam.
Ranging from essays, internet archives, zoom calls and video collages. A quiet yet persistent state of loneliness runs through the selection, in which filmmakers navigate broken streets, drifting through spaces in a somnambulistic state.
