damdam Harvest Festival is an eight-day public programme organised by damdam, a collective of collectives emerging from the Curatorial Programme at de Appel, the Lumbung Practice Temporary Master’s Programme at the Sandberg Institute, and the Collective Study Programme at Gudskul in Indonesia.

‍

Between 28 May and 6 June 2025, damdam hosts a series of gatherings at de Appel and various other locations in and beyond Amsterdam to introduce their ecosystem. A celebratory first exercise in coalition-building through contradiction, grounded in the belief in a platform where we can work from our struggles, expand collectivities, and find inspiration in the work of like-minded collectives.
