Juha van’t Zelfd: RoXY (2022)
Doors open at 17.00
Total Freedom: Youth, Play and Insurgency
From Dada to techno, from protest to dancefloor, Juha van ’t Zelfde’s 2022 film RoXY shows how young people in Amsterdam, through play, collectivity and refusal, created spaces of resistance and imagination. The revolt of Homo Ludens reminds us that nightlife is more than entertainment—it is a rehearsal for freedom, a collective uprising against the limits imposed by capitalism, and an opening towards new possibilities for living otherwise.
The screening of RoXY will be introduced by the artist, and followed by a conversation.
Juha van ’t Zelfde is a Finnish-Dutch artist, organiser, and teacher based in Amsterdam. His work explores the relationship between history, experience, and possibility, emerging in response to specific social, economic and political conditions.
He works with sound, moving image, pedagogy, and architecture to make room for desire, grief, refusal, imagination, and struggle. He focuses on the role of solidarity, mutual aid, and collective joy in imagining a liberatory culture — one that moves beyond hierarchy and domination.
The event is organized by Frame Finland and Taidekoulu Maa
