For this gathering, Winnie Herbstein will engage in an artist talk with Arnisa Zeqo, and lecturer Lani Hanna will also be present for a cultural reflection. To round off the day we invite you to come for a special drink to de Bult bar, which will be activated by artist Radina Kordova.

Winnie Herbstein is an artist and filmmaker whose work focuses on historical and contemporary forms of organising in relation to housing, architecture, and the production of space. These themes are explored through practice-based research, materialising primarily in video and sculpture. She recently published the book Slamming Doors: on falling out and fighting back in a housing crisis, co-edited with Mason Leaver-Yap.

Herbstein studied Environmental art at the Glasgow School of Art, building-site construction at the City of Glasgow College, and is a founding member of Slaghammers, an educational metal workshop for women, trans- and non-binary people, based in Glasgow. In 2024–25, she was a Research Fellow at the University of Amsterdam and Framer Framed, and was a resident at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (2021–2023).

Radina Kordova is a performance and visual artist based in Groningen. Through performance, sound, sculpture, and costume, she explores how narrative, folklore, and identity shift through embodiment. Working with score-based movement and field recordings, she tells watery stories about our relationships with each other and the more-than-human world.
