Public Programme
12.01.2025, 19:15–20:45
For this film screening we explore the theme of the garden by presenting three video works and short films, in the context of de Appel’s current exhibition My Garden’s Boundaries Are the Horizon by the collective To See the Inability to See. The collective, consisting of Arefeh Riahi, Martín La Roche Contreras and Maartje Fliervoet, as well as filmmaker Marwa Arsanios will be present during the screening.
Public Programme
24.01.2025, 18:00–19:30
For this event, we invited Constanza Mendoza and Giles Bailey, who have been following the process around the exhibition My Garden’s Boundaries Are the Horizon closely, for a performative reading and conversation. They are going to read the publication and transform their interpretation into a collective event where the book serves as a score to be performed.

Organised by de Appel in collaboration with Schumacher Action Labs in the frame of Lumbung Practice and hosted by OT301’s Ventilator Cinema, we invited writer and activist David Bollier to engage in a discussion in the context of the the Lumbung Practice programme.

Online Presentation
Why Germany is an international, online lecture series addressing the crackdown on free speech in Germany and beyond. These weekly lectures are co-hosted by a network of institutions that grows over time. By means of a rolling program, it creates a space for creative, informed and considered expression.
Event
On the 24th of June, Ann Demeester will moderate an evening about about innovation in the arts and the need for continuity. Since five years de Appel again has a remarkable home: Broedplaats Lely, a brutalistic building in a diffuse part of town, where the accelerated effects of the gentrification of the surrounding are clearly visible. As an institution de Appel is part of this ongoing temporality. Now that the precarity this enhances seems to become more extensive, it is time to start the conversation.
Online Presentation
Between sunrise and sunset on 30 November 2020, de Appel devotes space and time to remembering ULAY (born Frank Uwe Laysiepen on 30 November 1943 in Solingen, Germany), an artist and much more, who shaped our institution profoundly and who passed away on March 2nd this year.
To celebrate the publication: Audre Lorde – Dream of Europe: selected seminars and interviews: 1984–1992 (Kenning Editions, 2020), de Appel organised a close reading group starting late September 2020, in order to collectively read and give voice to Lorde’s work as assembled in this book.
