    Weaving Lab 5
    Aisha Hachem
    3rd April 14.00 – 17.00
    Aisha returns to NP3 | RE:Search:Gallery with her fifth Weaving Lab, a space of collective weaving and embroidery centered on the theme of home.
    Building on the previous sessions, participants will work side by side with Aisha. Both returning visitors and newcomers are welcome to continue their previous work or begin a new one.
    “Lately I’ve been feeling a kind of panic about time.
    
    Not the normal kind. Something heavy.
    Like time is slipping somewhere I can’t reach it anymore.
    Days move fast but nothing settles.
    Everything feels unstable, like the ground is quietly shifting under us.
    
    I keep thinking about how easy it has become to lose each other.
    
    We scroll past wars, genocides, lives collapsing somewhere else,
    and then we continue with our day.
    But everything in that scares me.
    Not just the violence, but how quickly we learn to live next to it.
    Sometimes I wonder if we are slowly losing the ability to sit
    with one another as humans.
    
    Just to be in the same room.
    Doing something simple with our hands.
    Sharing time without rushing it.
    
    Where I come from, these moments were normal. People gathered.
    They talked, worked, stitched, cooked, argued, laughed.
    Life happened in the same space.
    Being together was not something you had to plan or justify.
    
    Now it feels different. Quite impossible.
    
    So maybe this weaving lab is my way of trying to bring that back,
    even if only for a few hours. Not as a solution to anything.
    Just as a small attempt to sit together again.
    To remember that we are still here with each other.
    
    Maybe that’s all it is.
    
    Or maybe right now that’s already a lot”.

  • 15:00 Moving Out Day! by Jurjen Galema
    Moving Out Day! | Jurjen Galema
    Finissage
    3rd April from 16.00
    
    Four months ago, Jurjen Galema moved into the DISplay, the window exhibition space of NP3 | RE:Search:Gallery 24/7 visible, which he transformed into his development and presentation space. Walking or biking by St. Walburgstraat, passersby could see Jurjen working – day and night – slowly making his peculiar creatures come to life in full public view. From his Christman interpretation of a sinister Santa Claus, a market during the winter period, to an extravagant performing band during Eurosonic Noorderslang, Jurjen has filled the DISplay space with exuberant and uncanny textile creations. Gradually taking form, these figures inhabited a stage suspended between absurdity and popular culture. Over time, they transformed the space into a theatrical environment where process and presentation came together.
    
    Now that April has arrived, it’s time for Jurjen and his creatures to move out, and you can join us at NP3 | RE:Search:Gallery for a drink and take part in this final moment, helping Jurjen’s creatures on their way and sending them off as they leave the DISplay!
    
    
    Verhuisdag! | Jurjen Galema
    Finissage
    3 april vanaf 16.00
    Vier maanden geleden trok Jurjen Galema in de DISplay, de etalageruimte van NP3 | RE:Search:Gallery die 24/7 zichtbaar is en die hij transformeerde tot zijn ontwikkel- en presentatieruimte. Terwijl voorbijgangers langs de St. Walburgstraat liepen of fietsten, konden ze Jurjen – dag en nacht – aan het werk zien, terwijl hij langzaam zijn bijzondere wezens tot leven bracht, volledig in het zicht van het publiek.
    Van zijn kerstinterpretatie van een sinistere Kerstman, een intrigerende wintermarkt tot een extravagante optredende band tijdens Eurosonic Noorderslag – Jurjen heeft de DISplay-ruimte gevuld met uitbundige en vervreemdende textiele creaties. Geleidelijk aan kregen deze figuren vorm en bevolkten ze een podium dat balanceerde tussen absurdisme en populaire cultuur.
    In de loop van de tijd transformeerden de figuren de ruimte tot een theatrale omgeving waarin proces en presentatie samenvloeiden tot één geheel.
    Nu april is aangebroken, is het tijd voor Jurjen en zijn wezens om te vertrekken. Je bent van harte welkom bij NP3 | RE:Search:Gallery voor een drankje en om deel uit te maken van dit laatste moment: help Jurjens creaties op weg en zwaai ze uit terwijl ze de DISplay verlaten!
