What to Expect at the Event

As a visitor, you’ll experience:

• Ongoing performances
• A performer revealing her most ‘monstery’ side
• Radical meditations
• A brief introduction to Mark Fisher’s text Acid Communism
• An informal zine station where you can interact creatively with the text

All this will be accompanied by snacks and plenty of room to chill and converse.

We’re thrilled to introduce the participating artists: a diverse selection of Rotterdam-based creators, each bringing unique perspectives to Radical Mindfulness.

About the residency

The theme of the residency is Radical Mindfulness. To explore this topic, we’ve invited a group of fascinating artists whose practices reflect and interrogate this concept.

Radical Mindfulness is a term borrowed from the Radical Mindfulness collective in London. It represents a contemplative practice aimed at collectively exploring consciousness and reality to drive meaningful change—standing in contrast to its commodified use as a stress-reduction tool in mainstream culture.

Our residency embraces this concept through playful interrogation rather than definitive answers. Here are some of the questions we’re exploring:

• How can informal communities of practice challenge capitalism and propose anti-capitalist alternatives grounded in mindfulness?
• Where do mindful principles align with, or diverge from, socialist and communist values?
• How does cultural appropriation shape the integration of mindfulness into capitalist frameworks?

The residency’s goal is to create a sustainable space for reflection, fostering a small community for ongoing research into Radical Mindfulness. This event marks a moment in this long-term journey, offering a glimpse into an evolving process rather than a flashy finale.
