------------------------- # Concert: KRAMP + Bloedneus & de Snuitkever{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Fri, 22 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0200 | | **from** | | On Friday, the 22th of July, Varia will once again host an evening of music. This time with KRAMP (who will present his new release on [Bergpolder Records](https://www.discogs.com/label/1986033-Bergpolder)) and Bloedneus & De Snuitkever. It\'s been a while! **KRAMP** is the solo project of Stijn Wybouw, a young artist involved in many visual and musical projects that often overlap and which share an unflinchingly honest approach as well as penchant for crimson hues. As KRAMP, Wybouw assumes a red-faced identity to unleash raw machinations that take on ceremonial underpinnings through coarse compositions, murky drones, and warped vocalizations, all churned through the marshy fuzz of various tape recorders. **Bloedneus & de Snuitkever** is a project by Lukas De Clerck who discovered the aulos a mere couple of years ago. However, it's increasingly starting to feel like the aulos discovered him. The merging of man and this ancestral reed has hardly seen a more impressive union in modern times, and as Bloedneus & De Snuitkever De Clerck approaches the instrument with a reverential tenacity palpable in his minimalist, sacramental compositions where extended and circular breathing techniques create layered tunes to an unearthly effect. His debut LP on KRAAK will be out before the year's end! **Date**: Friday 22. July 2022\ **Door**: 20:30h CET\ **Start**: 21:00h CET\ **Entrance**: 5 euro\ **Location**: Varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) ------------------------- # Concert: KRAMP + Bloedneus & de Snuitkever{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|---------------------------------| | **posted** | Fri, 22 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0200 | | **from** | | Op vrijdag, 22 juli organiseert Varia voor het eerst sinds een tijd weer een muziekavond. Deze keer met KRAMP (die zijn nieuwe release op [Bergpolder Records](https://www.discogs.com/label/1986033-Bergpolder) zal presenteren) en Bloedneus & De Snuitkever. **KRAMP** is een soloproject van Stijn Wybouw, een jonge kunstenaar die betrokken is bij vele visuele en muzikale projecten die elkaar vaak overlappen en een onverschrokken eerlijke benadering delen, evenals een voorliefde voor karmozijnrode tinten. Als KRAMP neemt Wybouw een rode identiteit aan om rauwe machinaties te ontketenen die een ceremoniële onderbouwing krijgen door middel van grove composities, duistere drones en vervormde vocalisaties; allemaal gekarnd door de moerassige fuzz van verschillende bandrecorders. **Bloedneus & de Snuitkever** is een project van Lukas De Clerck die de aulos (een klassiek blaasinstrument) enkele jaren geleden ontdekte. Het begint er echter steeds meer op te lijken dat de aulos juist hem heeft ontdekt. De versmelting van de mens en dit voorouderlijke riet heeft in de moderne tijd zelden een meer indrukwekkende unie gezien. Bloedneus & De Snuitkever benadert het instrument met een eerbiedige vasthoudendheid die voelbaar is in zijn minimalistische, sacramentele composities, waar uitgebreide en cirkelvormige ademhalingstechnieken gelaagde deuntjes creëren met een onaards effect. Zijn debuut-LP op KRAAK komt nog voor het einde van het jaar uit! **Datum**: Vrijdag, 22 Juli 2022\ **Deur**: 20:30h CET\ **Aanvang**: 21:00h CET\ **Entree**: 5 euro\ **Locatie**: Varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) ------------------------- # Walk of Fame - The Return{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|-------------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Fri, 08 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0200 | | **from** | | On April 4, 2022, after 32 years of existence, the Rotterdam [Walk of Fame](https://www.walkoffame.nl/) came to [an end](https://vvvvvvaria.org/en/feeds/(https:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzB803YeGWc)). The last sixty tiles of this well-known star sidewalk near the Metroplein and Ahoy were dismantled. Since then, Rotterdam has been missing one of its most noticeable landmarks. Fortunately, we managed to retrieve one of these special tiles. On July 8, at the start of the summer holidays, the tile of none other than Shrek will be reinstalled on the corner of Gouwstraat and Wolphaertstraat. Everyone is welcome at the green unveiling at 7 p.m. sharp. There will be snacks, drinks and music. **Date**: Friday, 8 July 2022\ **Start**: 19:00h CET\ **Location**: Varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) ------------------------- # Walk of Fame - Terug op Zuid{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|----------------------------------------| | **posted** | Fri, 08 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0200 | | **from** | | Op 4 april 2022 kwam na een bestaan van 32 jaar de Rotterdamse [Walk of Fame](https://www.walkoffame.nl/) ten [einde](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzB803YeGWc). De laatste zestig tegels van de bekende sterrenstoep bij het Metroplein van Ahoy werden ontmanteld. Sindsdien is Rotterdam een bezienswaardigheid armer. Gelukkig hebben wij één van de bijzondere tegels weten te bemachtigen. Op 8 juli, aan het begin van de zomervakantie, wordt de tegel van niemand minder dan Shrek op de hoek van de Gouwstraat en de Wolphaertstraat herplaatst. Iedereen is welkom bij de groene onthulling om 7 uur precies. Er zullen hapjes, drankjes en muziek zijn. **Datum**: Vrijdag, 8 Juli 2022\ **Aanvang**: 19:00h CET\ **Locatie**: Varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #128{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|---------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Tue, 28 Jun 2022 21:40:09 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/Screenshot_from_2022-06-28_20-38-12.png) ------------------------- #

Hold & Release Partyline{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Sat, 11 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0200 | | **from** | | **Calibre** (ka la buh, NOT ka lee bra), the open-source ebook manager (), remains to be popular among amateur librarians and digital libraries. Over time, the software was supplemented by many new features and plugins. Now, we want to revisit the digital library as an extensible space, and step back into the imagination of the library as a generative and social environment. In this capacity, we would like to spend time to think through parameters of *holding* and *releasing* in relation to how library systems **hold** and (simultaneously can be a place to) **release** knowledge. Rather than on/off switches, where releasing begins when holding ends and vice-versa, we approach them as parameters that allow us to think along an axis where it may be possible to hold and release at the same time. So far we understand holding to be possessing, claiming, waiting, stating, structuring. To release might be to liberate, leak, issue, sequence and let go. Concretely, over two days we want to begin to rethink digital library software, starting from **Calibre**. We\'ll do this through a range of hands-on experiments, exploring analog, digital and social interfaces between texts and readers. We will depart on this journey with a collection of zines that have been gathered in Varia as material to start rethinking extensible library systems through. To register interest in participating in this Partyline, please send an email to info\@varia.zone with `[hold and release]` in the subject by the ~~31st of May, 2022~~ **8th of June, 2022** (at the end of the day). We are looking for a group of 8-10 people who enjoy frequent engagement with library systems in some form and/or have intimate knowledge of structuring digital files. To get the best out of the **Hold & Release Partyline**\*, attendance on both days is important & appreciated. The Hold & Release Partyline is organised by Manetta Berends and Simon Browne. Follow our log to get a glimpse on the preperations: **Date**: Friday 10th + Saturday 11th of June, 2022\ **Time**: 11:00-13:00 + 14:00-16:00 on both days\ **Location**: Varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) \***Partylines** are two day-long semi-structured collective learning situations. The name is inspired by local loop telephone circuits between neighbours, which made it possible to tune into a collective call. These so called \"partylines\" quickly became a source of entertainment, a place where gossip is shared, but also where emergencies would be communicated. The convivial and communal function of the historical partylines is what inspired us to organise 5 thematic partylines in the 2022 Varia programme. \ This project is supported by the [Creative Industries Fund NL](https://www.stimuleringsfonds.nl/). ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/images/stimu.en.gif) ------------------------- # Hold & Release Partyline{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Sat, 11 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0200 | | **from** | | **Calibre** (ka la buh, NIET ka lee bra), de open-source ebook manager (), blijft populair onder amateurbibliothecarissen en digitale bibliotheken. In de loop van de tijd werd de software aangevuld met vele nieuwe functies en plugins. Tijdens dit evenement willen we de digitale bibliotheek opnieuw beschouwen als een uitbreidbare ruimte, en teruggaan naar het oorspronkelijke idee van de digitale bibliotheek als een generatieve en sociale omgeving. We willen de tijd nemen om na te denken over het *vasthouden* (\"**hold**\") en *loslaten* (\"**release**\") van kennis in bibliotheeksystemen; een plek waar boeken of andere documenten worden *vastgehouden*, maar die tegelijkertijd ook kan functioneren om kennis te genereren en opnieuw *los te laten*. In plaats van aan/uit-schakelaars, waar loslaten begint waar vasthouden eindigt en vice versa, benaderen we deze begrippen als parameters die ons in staat stellen te denken langs een as waarlangs het mogelijk is om tegelijkertijd vast te houden én los te laten. Tot nu toe verstaan we onder vasthouden: bezitten, opeisen, wachten, verklaren en structureren. Loslaten zou kunnen zijn: bevrijden, lekken, uitgeven, vrijgeven en opeenvolgen. Concreet willen we gedurende twee dagen aan de slag gaan met software voor digitale bibliotheken, te beginnen met **Calibre**. Door middel van een reeks praktische oefeningen zullen we analoge, digitale en sociale interfaces tussen tekst en lezer onderzoeken. We gaan met een collectie door Varia verzamelde zines aan de slag om mogelijke uitbreidbare bibliotheeksystemen voor te ontwikkelen. Wil je deel nemen aan deze Partyline? Stuur dan voor ~~31 mei 2022~~ **8 juni 2022** (aan het eind van de dag) een email naar info\@varia.zone met `[hold and release]` in het onderwerp. We zijn op zoek naar een groep van 8-10 mensen die plezier haalt uit het werken met bibliotheeksystemen, en/of interesse hebben in het structureren van digitale bestanden. Om het beste uit de **Hold & Release Partyline**\* te halen, is aanwezigheid op allebei de dagen belangrijk. De Hold & Release Partyline wordt georganiseerd door Manetta Berends en Simon Browne. Volg onze log om de voorbereidingen te volgen: **Datum**: vrijdag 10 + zaterdag 11 juni, 2022\ **Tijd**: 11:00-13:00 + 14:00-16:00 op beide dagen\ **Locatie**: Varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) \***Partylines** zijn tweedaagse semi-gestructureerde collectieve leersituaties. De naam is geïnspireerd op lokale telefoonsystemen die het voor buren mogelijk maakten om deel te nemen aan een collectief telefoongesprek. Deze zogenaamde \"partylines\" werden al snel een bron van vermaak; een plek waar roddels werden uitgewisseld, maar ook waar noodgevallen werden doorgegeven. De gezellige en gemeenschappelijke functie van de historische partylines is wat ons geïnspireerd heeft om in 2022 vijf thematische partylines te organiseren in het programma van Varia. \ Dit project is mede mogelijk gemaakt door de steun van het [Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie](https://www.stimuleringsfonds.nl/). ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/images/stimu.nl.gif) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #82{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 17:56:11 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/8W_gn8vDTs64SQcodZvUBw.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #81{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 17:55:31 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/IMG_5157.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #80{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 17:55:27 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/IMG_5156.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #79{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 17:55:21 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/IMG_5155.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #78{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 17:55:14 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/IMG_5154.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #77{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 16:33:08 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/IMG_4646.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #76{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 16:32:46 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/IMG_4636.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #75{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 16:32:38 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/IMG_4651.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #74{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 16:32:29 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/Screen_Shot_2022-06-09_at_16.31.23.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #73{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 16:32:16 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/Screen_Shot_2022-06-09_at_16.31.20.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #72{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 16:30:53 | | **from** | | ------------------------- # hold-and-release #71{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 15:49:19 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/Screen_Shot_2022-06-09_at_15.49.01.jpg) ------------------------- # hold-and-release #70{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Thu, 09 Jun 2022 15:10:44 | | **from** | | ![](https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/hold-and-release/image/Screen_Shot_2022-06-09_at_15.08.58.jpg) ------------------------- # Varia x d12n LIMITS hub{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Fri, 10 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0200 | | **from** | | We\'re delighted to invite you to our LIMITS-hub, an open and informal gathering moment taking place during the [Eighth Workshop on Computing within Limits](https://computingwithinlimits.org/2022/) this June 21st/22nd. As this year\'s LIMITS will be taking place online, we are setting up a hub, to have a physical space to meet. Come along to watch the conference together! On the 21rst, we\'ll sit together and watch the workshop programme. On the 22nd, we propose a *unconference* format, which means the programme is organised by the participants themselves. The idea is to make space for self-organising discussions/presentations/co-working/etc. based on the interests of those present. Each day, the online programme will be screened from 16:00 onwards. On the 22nd we will begin with the unconference at 13:00. Snacks, refreshments & dinner will be provided, if you have any allergies, please let us know by sending a mail to . This LIMITS-hub is organised by members of the [Digitalization Research Cluster](https://d12n.leiden.edu) at Leiden University, members of [Varia](https://varia.zone) and friends, researchers and conference participants.

Feminist Hack Meetings #6 - How about access?{.post_title} | | | |-----------:|------------------------------------------------------------| | **posted** | Wed, 08 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0200 | | **from** | | This FHM session is for us to reconsider the accessibility of online realms. We will learn about this in two parts, first through a guest talk called \'Shapeshifting Dreams: Practicing Towards Accessible Institutions\' from artist-design duo MELT, who will share their research and practice around accessibility. After this presentation, we will continue with a hands-on workshop to experiment with tools and approaches that move us towards more inclusive ways of being together in online and hybrid spaces. Our guests will join online. As participants, you are very welcome to join in person - in Varia - or we can connect online too. The exercises planned for the workshop are possible to do inside Varia and/or through the screen. More details on what we will do and learn below. **Shapeshifting Dreams: Practicing Towards Accessible Institutions**\ ![A round pool of liquids holds multiple intertwined threads floating over and tangling with one another. Floating in the mess are the words "Collective Body", "Server", "Institution", "Access", "Email", "Archive" each written in an illuminated script.](https://vvvvvvaria.org/images/access-server.jpeg) In their talk MELT will discuss their ongoing project Access Server reflecting on their recent engagement with a fellowship at Het New Instituut. Access Server is an email server that anonymizes, collects and financially compensates access requests that disabled people send towards institutions. They will discuss disability justice and other theoretical frameworks that Access Server works with and builds upon, the engagement with the institution MELT was fellows with and the difficulties and possibilities this unveiled and their emerging practice of dreaming about accessible institutions. Structural ableism makes it difficult to do so many things. Dreaming up and planning for accessible institutions is one way that we practice towards an otherwise, where joyful and pleasurable accessibility is centered. **Bio**\ MELT (Ren Loren Britton & Isabel Paehr) study and experiment with shape-shifting processes as they meet technologies, sensory media and pedagogies in a warming world. Meltionary (derived from \"dictionary\"), is a growing collection of arts-design-research engagements that cooks up questions around material transformations alongside impulses from trans\* feminism and Disability Justice. Melting as a kaleidoscope like phenomena touches upon multiple topics at once: climate change, the potential for political reformulations, change over time and material transformation. MELT shares work in the forms of videos, installations, websites, lectures, workshops and courses. For the second part of the session, we will work through exercises from the project Alt Text as Poetry, by Shannon and Bojana, that includes editing images for different ways of seeing, adding alt text to images (a text caption to describe the scene in an image), and making different types of textual and audio recordings of pieces of text that can be used for screen readers or listened to in different contexts. Participants are welcome to work with their own materials - maybe from your own website or online presence - while we can also experiment with the zine library inside Varia, that we can use as sources whose access can be improved. Experimenting with our DIY Varia sound booth, we will try out sound recordings to make sonic editions of the feminist zines in the space, translate them into different languages, or work with other printed materials that you would like to speak out loud. We hope that this workshop can be for people working in the digital realm, who want to learn more about how their working (and living) environment can be more accessible and inclusive. It is an FHM for learning together, and thinking deeply on a topic that needs attention. **Access**\ This meeting would be held in English.\ First part: The online talk from MELT will be recorded so asyncronous engagement will be possible. The talk will include automatic closed captions.\ Second part: The session will be hybrid, in Varia and online in a link that we will provide through email to the participants. It will not be recorded.\ FHM will share text, image (with alt text) and audio documentation for all participants after the workshop.\ For folks joining in Varia, there is a gender neutral toilet on the ground floor of the space and free tap water is available. The sound levels may be high at times as we are connecting with the online crowd and doing audio recordings. For more information please check the accessibility description of the space at and feel free to contact for specifications if you would like to know more. **To register, please send an email to mentioning the name of the event in the subject line.** **Date**: Saturday 4 June 2022\ **Time**: 11:00 to 14:00 CEST\ **Location**: Varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) & Online (link soon)\ **Note**: This session will be held in English. ![A generated FHM poster.

De sessie bestaat uit twee delen, eerst een guest talk genaamd \'Shapeshifting Dreams: Practicing Towards Accessible Institutions\' van kunstenaar-ontwerpduo MELT, die hun onderzoek en praktijk rond toegankelijkheid delen. Na deze presentatie gaan we verder met een hands-on workshop. Hierin experimenteren we met tools en benaderingen die ons bewegen naar meer inclusieve manieren van samenzijn in online en hybride ruimtes. Onze gasten - MELT - zullen online deelnemen. Als deelnemer bent u van harte welkom om persoonlijk - in Varia - aanwezig te zijn, maar u kunt ook online deelnemen. De geplande oefeningen kunnen zowel in Varia en/of via het scherm gedaan worden. Hieronder meer details over wat we zullen doen en leren. **Shapeshifting Dreams: Practicing Towards Accessible Institutions**\ ![Een ronde poel van vloeistoffen bevat meerdere met elkaar verstrengelde draden die over elkaar heen drijven en met elkaar verstrikt raken. In de warboel drijven de woorden \"Collective Body\", \"Server\", \"Institution\", \"Access\", \"Email\" en \"Archive\", elk geschreven in een verlicht schrift.](https://vvvvvvaria.org/images/access-server.jpeg) In hun lezing bespreekt MELT hun lopende project Access Server, reflecterend op hun recente engagement met een beurs aan Het Nieuwe Instituut. Access Server is een e-mailserver die toegangsverzoeken van gehandicapten aan instellingen anonimiseert, verzamelt en financieel compenseert. De lezing omvat: disability justice en andere theoretische kaders waarmee Access Server werkt en waarop het voortbouwt; het engagement met de instelling waar MELT zijn fellowship deed; de moeilijkheden en mogelijkheden die dit aan het licht bracht en hun opkomende praktijk van dromen over toegankelijke instellingen. Zoveel dingen worden moeilijk gemaakt door Structureel \'ableism\'. Dromen van, en plannen maken voor toegankelijke instellingen is één manier waarop we toewerken naar een alternatief, waar vreugdevolle en plezierige toegankelijkheid centraal staat. **Bio**\ MELT (Ren Loren Britton & Isabel Paehr) bestudeert en experimenteert met vormveranderende processen als ze technologieën, zintuiglijke media en pedagogieën ontmoeten in een opwarmende wereld. Meltionary (afgeleid van \"woordenboek\"), is een groeiende verzameling van kunst-ontwerp-onderzoek engagementen die vragen oproept rond materiële transformaties naast impulsen van trans\* feminisme en Disability Justice. Smelten als een caleidoscoopachtig fenomeen raakt aan meerdere onderwerpen tegelijk: klimaatverandering, het potentieel voor politieke herformuleringen, verandering in de tijd en materiële transformatie. MELT deelt werk in de vorm van video\'s, installaties, websites, lezingen, workshops en cursussen. Voor het tweede deel van de sessie zullen we oefeningen doen uit het project Alt Text as Poetry, door Shannon en Bojana. Het bestaat uit het bewerken van afbeeldingen voor verschillende manieren van kijken; het toevoegen van alt-tekst aan afbeeldingen (een tekst bijschrift om de scène in een afbeelding te beschrijven); en het maken van verschillende soorten tekst- en geluidsopnames van stukken tekst die gebruikt kunnen worden voor schermlezers of beluisterd kunnen worden in verschillende contexten. Deelnemers zijn welkom om met hun eigen materiaal te werken - misschien van je eigen website of online aanwezigheid - terwijl we ook kunnen experimenteren met de zine bibliotheek binnen Varia, die we kunnen gebruiken als bronnen waarvan de toegang verbeterd kan worden. Experimenterend met onze DIY Varia geluidscabine, zullen we geluidsopnames uitproberen om sonische edities te maken van de feministische zines in de ruimte, ze te vertalen in verschillende talen, of te werken met ander gedrukt materiaal dat je hardop zou willen uitspreken. We hopen dat deze workshop bedoeld is voor mensen die in het digitale domein werken en die meer willen leren over hoe hun werk- (en leef-) omgeving toegankelijker en inclusiever kan zijn. Het is een FHM om samen te leren, en diep na te denken over een onderwerp dat aandacht verdient. **Toegang**\ Deze vergadering zal in het Engels worden gehouden.\ Eerste deel: De online lezing van MELT zal worden opgenomen zodat asynchrone betrokkenheid mogelijk zal zijn. De toespraak zal automatisch gesloten bijschriften bevatten.\ Tweede deel: De sessie zal hybride zijn, in Varia en online in een link die we via e-mail aan de deelnemers zullen sturen. De sessie wordt niet opgenomen.\ FHM zal tekst, beeld (met alt tekst) en audio documentatie delen voor alle deelnemers na de workshop.\ Voor mensen die in Varia komen, is er een genderneutraal toilet op de begane grond van de ruimte en is er gratis kraanwater beschikbaar. Het geluidsniveau kan soms hoog zijn omdat we verbinding maken met de online menigte en audio-opnames maken. Kijk voor meer informatie bij de toegankelijkheidsbeschrijving van de ruimte op en neem gerust contact op met voor informatie als je meer wilt weten. **Stuur een e-mail naar om je te registreren voor dit evenement, met de naam van het evenement in de onderwerpregel.** **Datum**: Zaterdag 4 juni 2022\ **Tijd**: 11:00 tot 14:00 CEST\ **Locatie**: Varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) & Online (link binnenkort)\ **Opmerking**: Deze sessie wordt gehouden in het Engels. ![Een gegenereerde FHM poster.
