Tune in to Operator Radio: Hamburger Community 2026

Every 2nd Tuesday of the month Roodkapje hosts a time slot at Operator Radio;; an online radio station and cultural platform dedicated to enriching the music and cultural landscape of Rotterdam and beyond, with a special focus on alternative sounds and underrepresented stories. Every month we give the time-slot to a member of the Roodkapje community to share their favourite tunes and stories.

Tune in on the 14th of July at 15:00 to meet:
the new artist-in-residents of the Hamburger Community:
Nabila Ernada, Josimar Gomes, Julian Crestian, Merel van Erpers Roijaards and Tuba Kılıç.

The Hamburger Community of 2026 is a group of artists, cultural workers, musicians — with shared suspicions of permanence, and in search of it, still. Their practices are analog by default: handed over in person, experienced live, half-baked and still warm. For them, telling stories is the oldest form of community memory. They treat potlucks as a learning method, broadcasts as entering worlds and textile as a way of holding time.
Together they act as a hot pot: each person flavors a body of water with knowledge they brought in. Nobody owns the broth. In the upcoming nine months, expect collective public takeovers around sound, flavours and exchange — and whatever else spills.

23 July - Amplified Histories: Keileweg’s Playground
a one-day only sound installation by Hamburger Community '26
