TENT Welcomes: Conversas

Ten Wednesday evenings full of stories, ideas and meetings at the Coolhaven.

Courtesy Conversas

Conversas Rotterdam will be hosted for ten Wednesday evenings in close collaboration with the TENT team at Coolhaven 32. Don't expect a traditional public program, but rather an open setting where makers, thinkers, neighbors, and the curious truly connect. People from the Conversas community, the TENT team, and our new neighbors in Coolhaven will share the space—and the floor.

This series is also an exercise in exchange. What happens when a grassroots initiative and an art institution take each other seriously? What other forms of organizing, creating, and sharing then become visible? Each evening is developed in direct collaboration with the TENT team and takes shape from the energy in the space.

The language of instruction is English; informal translation on site is possible.

Join us, listen, share, and be amazed. Everyone is welcome.

What is Conversas?

Conversas is a biweekly series of informal gatherings where people connect through projects, stories, and ideas. Each evening, three "Conversadores" share something with the group for thirty minutes each—a research project, experience, fascination, or issue that occupies their minds.

The premise is simple: an open conversation centered on exchange. Listening and responding are as important as speaking. After each series of ten evenings, a publication will be published documenting the conversations.

Since 2014, more than 190 editions have taken place in Rotterdam. This twentieth series, running from March to July 2026, marks a collaboration between Conversas and TENT Rotterdam.

Everyone is welcome, and admission is free. Drinks are available for a €2 donation to support future publications.
