What’s Happening?!
HAMBURGER COMMUNITY x WASTELAND x PAULUSKERK
What’s Happening?!
by Dalal Mitwally, Goretti Pombo, Gamze Öztürk, Lon Luna and oji nauli + Pauluskerk
with music by mesin slat, dialogue and collective dreaming.
As part of this year's Wasteland festival ~ a transdisciplinary festival exploring waste ecologies through art, performance and collective research ~ the Hamburger Community is organizing their first Happening.
On the 24th of July the Hamburger Community residents open the space to the public for a sharing session after a creative workshop with artists from the Pauluskerk. In our workshop we come together with the intention of discussing, activating and figuring out what aid can look like in the public space. We confront the bottle-deposit system and create alternatives to bin-diving and the systemic othering embedded within it. Join the public sharing to see the results of our collaboration and enjoy some tunes!

Hamburger Community
The Hamburger Community are five artists in residence that collaborate for ten months. Roodkapje is interested in the intersections of art, activism, and wonder. We see the Happening as an art form full of playful, disruptive and subversive potential. In light of today’s dire social, ecological and political circumstances, we ask the Hamburger Community: how would you as contemporary artists reimagine, reshape, and organize a Happening?
This year, Collective Wasteland holds a mentorship position for the Hamburger Community. Together they take a deep dive into the themes of the festival. Expect to be surprised, immersed and challenged. Stay tuned for more details..
WASTELAND Festival 2025: OUT OF SIGHT
WASTELAND ‘25 invites wide audiences to examine our relationship with waste and possible ways out of the current waste crisis. The festival offers a platform for critical reflection on the complexity of waste ecologies and aims to understand waste as a heritage. As such, it influences us individually and collectively through its local and geopolitical implications and impacts more-than-human life in a time of unprecedented global pollution.
Taking a site-specific approach, WASTELAND’S 2025 program explores the (infra)structures of waste in and beyond the Anthropocene. This era is defined by humanity's profound impact on the planet and geologically marked by the emergence of new types of waste. Key sites of the waste management infrastructure in the city and the port of Rotterdam are Wasteland’s starting points; they are operational, yet hidden and forgotten. Together, we dive into what practices and systems enable and disturb the illusion of a utopian city, from landfills and recycling centres to waste collectors, statiegeld mafia, pigeons and rats.
collective.wasteland
collective.wasteland (Katya Borisova, Yannik Güldner, Leon Lapa Pereira, Erik Peters and Anne Vera Veen) is an interdisciplinary art collective dedicated to artistic research and collaborative experiments that address the complexities of waste ecologies. Recognising the pervasive nature of the ongoing waste crisis, we believe that building alternatives for current troubled times requires a collective effort. Through research projects and public programs such as Wasteland Festival we aim to stimulate collaborative projects and forge connections amongst (inter)national partners in fields of art, activism, industry, and academia.
