Page of Possibilities introduces children (ages 4-12) in a playful manner to the practice of self-publishing. They will discover the colourful and creative world of artist books and learn how to make their own small publication. 

The Page Of Possibilities workshops are bilingual (English and Dutch) and take place every Sunday in our project space at the Boekhorststraat 128. Sessions are led by an artist and art teacher with a broad experience in educative projects, combining children’s play with art and DIY graphic techniques to stimulate creative exchange and collaboration. Page of Possibilities was inspired by the pedagogics of Célestin Freinet, who started the l’École Moderne in France in 1947. In his modern schools the emphasis was on children-led education: a printing press was placed in the middle of the school and children shared their experiences and thoughts via self-made books and pamphlets. 

To reserve a spot for the workshop please write to info@page-not-found.nl.

The workshops take place from 15:00-16:30. Free entrance.

We are happy to invite you to the closing of Georgie Brinkman’s Open Letter ‘Brekekekéx koáx koáx’. For the occasion Brinkman’s piece will be performed live by vocalist Elisenda Pujals and harpist Louise Ubbels.

‘Brekekekéx koáx koáx!’ is a song that acts as a futile, ritualistic attempt to resurrect an extinct (in the British wild) species. The last known colony of the Common Tree Frog (Hyla Arborea) in the British wild lived in Hilltop Pond, Dorset. In 1988 the last male was found far away from the pond calling a lonely ‘Brekekekéx koáx koáx!’ for a non-existent female. Using astrological predictions for 1988 as an attempt to retroactively foresee the extinction, this new, ritual song rewrites the lyrics of the oldest surviving secular love song in the English language, ‘Bryd one Brere’.

Georgie Brinkman is an artist and researcher whose work treads a precarious ground between science-fiction and science-fact (and the muddy sludge in between), to ask what it means to be human in the age of extinction. By casting other-than-humans as leading protagonists in her films, writing and installations she seeks to pull apart the anthropocentric perception of a division between nature and culture. 

Elisenda Pujals is a singer, music therapist and teacher based in The Hague. She incorporates her knowledge of extended vocal techniques and alternative means of tone-production, based on her ongoing research into the contemporary repertoire. She feels at home around improvisation as much as with written repertoire. She recently premiered Walking Opera by Ruta Vitkauskaite in Aarhus and London, and has collaborated with such contemporary leading ensembles as Slagwerk Den Haag and VocalLAB. 

Louise Ubbels is a Dutch musician, music therapist and teacher. She studied World Performance at the prestigious East 15 Acting School in the UK, after which she performed both as an actor and music director at the Camden Fringe, Paris Fringe and the Brazilian Embassy. Having moved back to the Netherlands, she recently completed the MA Music Therapy at Codarts and is now working at an elderly care home for people with dementia and psychiatric disorders. She also teaches piano to young children, including students with special needs.   

The finissage starts at 18:00 outside of our window. Registration is not required.
