Hart presents: Hemd van je Live! This is a new talkshow that will be organized once a quarter in the Slachthuis. Experts from the music industry are given the stage and you can ask them anything they want. On Friday, January 26, the very first edition of Hemd van je Live will take place during Boring! Not at home, the Slachthuis, but in the beautiful lecture hall of the Teylers Museum.
Admission is free, everyone is welcome and you do not need a Boring ticket for this program!
L’Asset: a quirky alt-artpop band from Haarlem, The Netherlands. Their music is flamboyant in its base, intense but never heavy handed and in Tessa’s clear, Britpop-type voice, that has often been compared to that of Florence + The Machine, Kate Bush and Björk you always feel a sense of urgency. Making music is her way of understanding and streamlining her emotions and the world around her: it’s her therapy. Singer Tessa Lamers is our Hemd van je Live guest. Offcourse she will make some fine live music and tell us all about being a performer in the Netherlands. Join us for a nice, interactive session.
The only queer space in Haarlem is the train to Amsterdam
For a while, queer nightlife seemed to be non-existent and unheard of in Haarlem. But something is cooking, and the scenario where LGBTQIA+ people don’t have to travel to Amsterdam anymore for a safe night out. During this 50 minute panel we will discuss the current state of queer nightlife, how we as a community establish safety and whether we need straight people to make sure that our spaces can stay open. Come on by at Teylers Museum and join our conversation.
Panel: Rick Busscher (Stichting art. 1) and Myles van der Jagt (Fuck the Cistem) and more TBA. Host: Brecht van der Meulen (Haarlem Town Queers)
I am a Dutch-Iranian performance maker and sociologist. I make performative worlds in which image and sound are the driving forces. Working with sound reflects my desire to be faced with highly subjective, confrontational, and immersive forms of reality. In my practice, I scrutinize the human body as a material object in order to dissect social constructions, as I wish to grasp their absurdity and humor. Death and nothingness form the underlying motives of my work. Alongside my individual practice, I work as a collective with my brother Manuel Groothuysen.
