Celebrate the official anniversary of Amsterdam with a birthday breakfast in the Oude Kerk. As the city’s oldest building, it remains the last witness to Amsterdam’s earliest beginnings, when it was still a small settlement on the Amstel. In the run-up to this anniversary, the Oude Kerk is auctioning the very first vase by artist Navid Nuur. During the birthday breakfast, a film about his vase project (NN XXX) will premiere, alongside the presentation of a publication documenting the making process of the vases.

Building as Destroying, Destroying as Building is constructed around two imaginaries: the imaginary of the museum as a “coloniser”, and the imaginary of the land as a source of incessant knowledge that resists its demise and appropriation. Using the vertical section of a typical Palestinian peasant house as a starting point, Innab’s talk reveals multiple layers and interpretations of know-how embedded in place, as well as the possibilities for anti-colonial resistance that this knowledge harbours.
