    Frottage has been a cornerstone of Josse Pyl’s creative process in many of his works since his residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (NL). Through hands-on demonstrations and guidance, young art enthusiasts will learn to explore texture, form, and structure by rubbing a pencil or crayon over a textured surface placed beneath a sheet of paper, creating unique and captivating artworks. The workshop is a chance for children to not only learn directly from an artist but also to unleash their own creativity.

    Instructions for Placemaking: Amussu

    In Our People are Our Mountains (quoting from Amílcar Cabral’s words on the Guinea-Bissau's liberation movement), artists and collectives in Palestine and elsewhere who work on questions around land from different perspectives, collaborate with majelis (assembly) Jakarta by sending instructions remotely. Utilizing instructions, rather than physically transferring works or facilitating travel, stems from ethical, political, and environmental considerations. The act of sending instructions is also a way to point to the physical and symbolic distances, particularly emphasizing the profound difficulties associated with moving in and out of Palestine, especially during the ongoing genocide. This initiative, therefore, is an act of transmission and trust—artists will transmit their creative directives to counterparts in Jakarta, who will, in turn, realize, contribute to, perform, or enact the instructions in place.
