In 2011, a Picasso was transported from the Van Abbemuseum and exhibited in Ramallah, Palestine — why was this such a special event? In this episode of WD40, Cecile speaks with researcher, architect, and editor Ali T As’ad about exhibition-making in Palestine. Together, they discuss how museum practices can expose and influence (political) infrastructures, and reflect on what this could mean in light of today’s political events.

Ali T As’ad is a multidisciplinary researcher who works toward understanding these systems and cultures as they pertain to Palestine. He is working towards a PhD that focuses on exhibition-making and museum practices in Palestine. As part of this work, he has collaborated with the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at UvA, the Curatorial Research Collective at TU Eindhoven, Design Academy Eindhoven, the Sandberg Instituut, and the Piet Zwart Institute. Ali is also Editor-in-Chief of MAKAN: Journal of Culture and Space, a print publication engaging with critical writing and scholarship from the SWANA region and Africa. Across exhibitions, conferences, and teaching, his practice frames architecture as culture beyond the built form, and curating as a method of infrastructural negotiation.

Wednesday June 12, 2024, MBN's Jeffrey Mosher hit the road and caught the VIP Q & A Workshop session following a Leadership Talk. This is audio number 2 of 3 from that day.

In this video you catch a can’t miss event where the gathering in REO Town heard from Matthew Pollard, the Rapid Growth Guy.

Overall points covered, included:

The Importance of Business Valuation and Systemization

Creating a Business that is Sellable and Achieving Goals

Storytelling and Marketing

Effective Communication and Sales

Personal Storytelling and Introversion

Case Studies and Long-term Planning

It preceded a Business Valuation Workshop including Michael Maddox, host of MBN’s ‘Getting A Grip’ from the Cadillac Room Wednesday, June 12th.

In the Business Valuation Workshop, for the next video attendees discover the 8 keys to unlocking growth, building a great organization, and achieving clarity in your company's vision. Led by industry experts Reuben Levinsohn and Nicholas Pope of Washington Avenue Advisors, and joined by Professional EOS Implementer Mike Maddox, this series equips entrepreneurs with the tools to maximize their business's value and prepare for a successful exit. Upcoming videos will share from that part of the day.

Culture Radio by Operator [26] - 17th July 2025 - Nous'Klaer Special

In episode 11, we have the sweet, the passionate, the bold, Xavio. Xavio is a biology student born and raised in Curacao. Since moving from Curacao, he’s had to rediscover himself from 0. Being from the Island and studying in a Dutch environment comes with its advantages and disadvantages. Ironically, his island's struggles build further connection between people as they fight to reclaim their land. In this period, he is diving into applied biology and the earth, as he has found it has the answers for everything.

mikru mikus - 17th July 2025

 A special in‑the‑field broadcast — a one‑hour transmission emerging from a 48‑hour intensive of urban archaeology and DIY radio‑making that explores Chișinău as a sonic debris field, a site of nostalgia and disappearance. The show assembles layered soundscapes, voiced monologues, music stems from Soviet‑era Moldova, and testimonies about the soon‑to‑disappear Zemstvei—a meeting point for the city’s underground artist and activist scenes. Chișinăul meu cel mic is a collaboration between the artist duo Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence and Moldovan filmmaker Kristina Jacot, supported by tranzit.ro in Iași, the Centre for Art and the Political Imaginary in Gothenburg, and 3rd Space in Chișinău.

Kristina Jacot is a Moldovan artist, filmmaker, and cultural worker focused on DIY methodologies and on constructing provisional or “fake” structures that temporarily fulfill real needs—pop‑up cafés, libraries, cinemas. Her recent work concentrates on food as a central element of daily life and a continuous generator of choices, creating situations of “food for thought.”

Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence (O.J.A.I.) is the collaborative practice of artists Chris Dreier (1961, Germany) and Gary Farrelly (1983, Ireland). Founded in 2015, O.J.A.I. operates as a self‑declared para‑intelligence agency headquartered between Brussels and Berlin. The practice deploys tactics of bureaucratic embodiment and speculative administration to engage with corporate architecture, urban peripheries, infrastructural memory, and institutional form. O.J.A.I.’s activities take the shape of choreographed administrative rituals, narrated site procedures, performative red tape, and staged intelligence briefings.
