Framer Framed welcomes you to the opening of an exhibition curated by Fabienne Rachmadiev Between Fires: Irradiated Imaginations and Anti-Nuclear Solidarities, tracing the entanglements between nuclear infrastructures, colonial histories, and enduring forms of resistance. This presentation forms part of the Biennial, expanding its scope beyond the three core exhibition sites at W139, Arti et Amicitae, and Rozenstraat, and welcomes you with free entry and a public programme that foregrounds sonic storytelling, intergenerational memory, and the politics of land and harm.

This festive evening also features The Burial of a Brown Goose – a performance by buulbuul that ties together several lifelines, all stemming from the regions of Kazakhstan deeply affected by nuclear testing and radiation, focusing on human and more-than-human interaction during times of genocide and colonialism. The project is based on a song made by musician and writer Junisbay (1891–1973) about two geese, and channels grief, rage and generational care that gets passed on amid the denigration of nuclear-affected soil, water, and living beings. Through a recreation of a bird burial, buulbuul invites listeners into a state of hypnotic lamentation using human mimicry of bird noises and the distorted soundscape of nuclear-affected spaces.

The exhibition at Framer Framed will run until 17 May 2026.
