Our multiSINsorial Film program is back this week and we have expanded the event beyond Sickhouse. We will explore the theme of Greed for two nights. 

Thursday, we are partnering with the @rijksmuseumtwentheenschede to bring you a cryptococktail event that looks at the absurd aspects of cryptocurrency and challenges how we use the resources of the world. Come and mine with us in a playful way and earn money to buy drinks at the bar and to use at Sickhouse the following night. 

Friday, the cinema is open again and we hope you're ready to explore all of your senses while watching a film on greed. After the film we will take a critical look at capitalism by playing a game created just for Sickhouse, Life Sized Sickhouse-opoly (monopoly). This game will have lots of twists and turns and be full of Sickhouse fun. Take a look back through our monthly MultiSINsorial Cinema program and don't forget to get your Ticket for the film and program this Friday!

This is a ticket, reservation for the multi sensorial event + side program

SINema: GREED

Nkhensani Mkhari were in Enschede. Curator and artist from South Africa, they were the curator of Misava last year as part of The Overkill. Due to the pandemic they could not make it to Enschede then, but last week, we were really happy to meet them irl and to listen to their stories. They curated a screening night “Bona” with video art from artists from the African diaspora. We cooked together meals from these artists' original countries, we talked about home and the spaces that can become home. Friday Sickhouse was a space to share about dreams, history, Europe, artistic empowerment in decolonisation processes, appropriation, responsibility…

'Bona' is a seTswana word meaning look or see. Curated by Nkhensani Mkhari, the exhibition is staged as a multi-sensory cinematic experience pairing video art pieces from African artists and the diaspora with food and drinks from their native cultures. The autochthonous aesthetics embedded in the corpus of time based works featured in this curatorial staging explore concepts and ideas of migration, heritage, space and ultimately 'home'. This curatorial staging asks questions of liminality in a translocated space of becoming within the diaspora. In essence Bona aims to evoke the atmospheric valances of these 'Home' spaces through the visual field and food; exploring the relations between people and rituals that mediate these connections, and how they gather in dispersion.

The curatorial staging features works by DB Amorin, Ainslee Alem Robson (VR) , Maniel Arturo Abrue, Ketumile Malesa, Magolide Collective and Nkhensani Mkhari.The meals are prepared together with Nkhensani Mkhari at Tankstation and are all vegan.Nkhensani Mkhari will be present to guide us through the evening.

Times : Friday 17-06

Bona: video art with Nkhensani Mkhari

A night where queers of Enschede could unpologatically be themselves, a party where bodies, identities, plurality were not questioned but celebrated. Saturday, thanks to incredible (and for some a first on stage) singers, performances, musicians and play doh, Sickhouse was a sparkling and warm safe space.Sickhouse is very proud and happy to host these events and give room to make them possible. We need to keep doing this, talking about this, celebrating this. We need to preserve space to do this. We strongly feel, after such a week, that there are many people that need such an emotional, confronting and celebrating safe space.
