A DEAF04 related program at the Poortgebouw in Rotterdam.
The monumental Poortgebouw is a living and working space for artists, musicians, students and others. After 25 years, the existence of the group is threatened by the current owner's plans to develop the building into expensive offices. The Poortgebouw invites visitors to the five-day Open Action Café. Diverse installations, screenings, discussion rounds and performances enable interaction with the stories and strategies implicit in an urban freespace. For program details check www.poortgebouw.nl.
