Living Room Session at Felix Meritis #6

Home

Take a seat in the living room as moderator Shaquille Shaniqua Joy guides you through an evening with a spoken word by storyteller Amber Paris, the screening of “Mascarade: Origin story” (2023), a short film by DJ, Producer & Filmmaker Gayance, a mesmerizing music performance by artist Kody Chambers and a custom art piece by Jonathan Doelwijt. Start your weekend well on the 20th of September and allow yourself to be present while getting inspired by film, music, art and conversation.

In this edition, we dive deeper into the theme ‘home’. What is the first thought that comes up in your mind when you think of home? Is it a physical place, building or country? Do you connect it to a person or maybe even multiple people? What role does language play when you express what home means to you? Is it a feeling you can revisit, and does that feeling arise in multiple situations and environments, or is it unique? How does the environment we live in influence our definition of home? And then there is another layer of what makes us feel at home individually in our physical bodies. During the program, we’ll explore this layered subject through different mediums, including film, art, music and conversations.  

The living room is a metaphor

The living room is a metaphor for a place that radiates intimate, familiar, warm and welcoming energy and a space where people come together. It unites art hanging on the walls, music that one might play or listen to, movies you watch, and conversations with others in the space. The Living Room Session brings all of these aspects together in an evening of inspiration curated and hosted by Shaquille Shaniqua Joy at Felix Meritis.
