During this evening you can meet Roodkapje’s staff responsible for the Hamburger Community, ask all your questions and get a tour through our location. Find more information about this evening on our website.

The Hamburger Community
Roodkapje invites interdisciplinary artists (visual artists, musicians, performers, designers and the like) to our 10 month long laboratory for collaborative practice, collective fun and direct interaction between artists and audience. Are you looking to dive into an experiment involving four collaborators, several mentors and a place full of dynamic possibilities?
This experimental artist-residency laboratory runs from May ’25 – March ’26 and has its headquarters at Roodkapje in the city center of Rotterdam.

The Hamburger Community are five artists in residence that collaborate for 10 months to develop a series of Happenings together. They do so collectively, guided by mentors and by inviting in other collaborators in- or outside the Randstad. At Roodkapje we believe collaboration is a muscle that needs to be trained. The residency depends on collectivity for all artistic, organizational and public matters. Production budgets, conceptual development, program planning and mentor trajectories are managed and decided on together. Aside from collaborating with each other, the Hamburger Community also collaborates with Roodkapje’s team, who offer concept, production, financial and communication support. Residents of the Hamburger Community get access to Roodkapje’s collective working space and communal living room, a monthly stipend, production budget(s) and free access to all of Roodkapje’s program.

What’s Happening?!!
Roodkapje is interested in the intersections of art, activism, and wonder. Here, we see the Happening as an art form full of playful, disruptive and subversive potential. The Happenings are core to the public program developed by the Hamburger Community, and Roodkapje’s anarchive also evolves from them. In light of today’s dire social and political circumstances, we ask: how would contemporary artists reimagine, reshape, and organize a Happening?
