So Happy Together
In 2024 Roodkapje has been exploring collective practices and collaboration in a series of public evenings. On each of these gatherings, collectives were invited to share their ways of working through experimental cooking and sharing food. We actively explored questions such as: How to build a healthy community? What does it take to be hospitable? How can we find ways of collective self-determination? How can we live and work together with more than human collaborators?

So Happy Together Publication
This publication is a collection of recipes on working together within an (artist) collective and beyond. For anyone interested in cooking up collaboration.
Contributors to the cookbook are: Florian Cramer, Katinka de Jonge, Simon Kentgens, Papaya Kuir, One Field Fallow, Jatiwangi art Factory, Questions Collective, The Post Collective, De Onkruidenier, Soupspoon, Kraakspreekuur, Doe Het Zelf Fietswerkplaats, Iconoclasistas, Singing Club Rotterdam, Reading Room Rotterdam, Paul (s)Mullenberg, Marloes de Vries

With music by dan a
dan a is a British-Nigerian artist based in Marseille, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, he creates tracks influenced by post-rock, psychedelia, shoegaze and ambient music. Bathed in reverb and delay, his music lies somewhere between Broadcast, The Beta Band, Slowdive and The Velvet Underground.

Since starting the project in the summer of 2023, he has performed in venues across France and the UK. Self-releasing a couple of singles and an EP he has received support from people such as Tom Ravenscroft at BBC Radio 6.

Currently, dan a is doing a residency on LYL Radio as part of the 2024-2025 season with his monthly show Kominternoir Stereo.
