UPCOMING EVENTS

A lecture by historian and writer Samia Henni  about built and destroyed environments, dealing with questions of colonisation, nuclear weapons, and deserts. Henni will present her latest research on the French nuclear weapons testing programme (1960–1966) in the Algerian Sahara, bringing together nearly six hundred pages of materials documenting this violent history of France’s nuclear bomb programme in the Algerian desert. Meticulously culled together from across available, offered, contraband, and leaked sources, Henni will present a rich repository for all those concerned with histories of nuclear weapons and engaged at the intersections of spatial, social and environmental justice, as well as anticolonial archival practices. The lecture is followed by a short film and drinks at the bar.

New date! Friday 26 September 2025, 19:00 - 21:00. The lecture is followed by a short film and drinks at the bar. Tickets available for 5 euro here

A series of three evenings about 'the other construction site', exploring alternatives for the existing extractive, masculine system driven by time and money, curated by architect Paulien Bremmer. Together with various speakers we will look at questions such as: How to align the current way of working with the urgent issues and transitions of our time? Shouldn't we focus on other values instead of primarily those of money? Can we move beyond a system that seems unshakable and believe in an alternative? We will explore these questions and discuss alternatives - then, now, and in the future.

Tuesday 07 Oct, Tuesday 28 Oct, and Tuesday 11 Nov. Tickets available soon

Friday 31 October 2025, 19:00 - 21:00. The lecture is followed by a short film and drinks at the bar. Tickets available for 5 euro here
