De Facto Live #6

This Land Is My Land

28 June 2023

De Roode Bioscoop, Amsterdam

Bar open 19.30, start programme 20.00.

An evening with talks, art and music about curious borders. We will interview documentary maker Reber Dosky about the unrecognized state of Kurdistan. He will take us to this beautiful but volatile region and show some of his impressive work. Designer Inna Kochkina will tell us all about the cyrillic alphabet and how it is used to dominate former members of the USSR. Floor Koomen will delve into the story of the Black Hills together with musician Dusty Stray, who will play some music from this region. Last but not least: a quiz by Michiel Eijsbouts.

DE FACTO is a project of graphic designer Floor Koomen and journalist Jorie Horsthuis.
