#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Lux Nijmegen): you need to purchase your ticket online before # Curious about the best short films of the moment? Go Short is back at LUX Nijmegen! **The Global South Futurisms block will be screened on Friday.** Long dominated by Eurocentric cinematic traditions, science fiction has often served as a fantasy of conquest for the white man. Yet, in the hands of filmmakers from the Global Majority, the genre shifts register. Drawing on currents such as Arabfuturism, the films in this programme use speculative fiction as a way of thinking through generational and environmental wounds in ways realism cannot hold. In effect, the “fiction” of science-fiction becomes a powerful means of comprehension, where fabulation helps offer new political imaginaries. Other Skies invites audiences to witness speculative fiction in new hands—restless, incisive, and unmistakably its own. **Information:** I will be at the LUX entrance from 21:00. Following the screening, there is the option to join the Go Short free after-party at Cafe de Plak! **Link:** https://www.goshort.nl/en/festival-program/block?programId=2821&viewingId=5092 **Ticket Info:** Tickets must be purchased online in advance. **Tickets:** https://ticket.goshort.nl/nl-NL/Show/Details/GS-Other-Skies-Global-South-Futurisms-10-apr-837434 **More info**: [https://www.goshort.nl/en/go-short-festival-2026](https://www.goshort.nl/en/go-short-festival-2026) Hope to see you soon!

Vanuit zijn eigen ervaring met prompt engineering, en de aha-momenten die daarbij horen, ziet hij dagelijks waarom de meeste AI-trajecten vastlopen: niet door de techniek, maar door het ontbreken van organisatiekennis. In deze talk neemt hij het publiek mee van een persoonlijk begin klein naar de grotere vraag: wat moet AI eigenlijk weten om jouw organisatie te kunnen begrijpen? **AI-compliance: van papieren werkelijkheid naar werkende governance** ***[Arie van den Bergen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arievandenbergen/)*** Arie is advocaat en oprichter van [Finnick Legal](https://finnicklegal.nl/), gespecialiseerd in financiële toezichtwetgeving.

Met 26 jaar ervaring in IT- en OT-outsourcing en een achtergrond als veteraan combineert hij operationele scherpte met strategische doctrine. Hij spreekt en schrijft over het structurele gat tussen bestuurlijke aannames en technische realiteit. **Prompt en omstandigheden: Agentic AI ​​als aanvalsvector** ***[Christiaan Ottow](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christiaanottow/)*** Christiaan werkt als CTO bij [Northwave Cyber Security](https://northwave-cybersecurity.com/nl/). In die rol houdt hij de vinger aan de pols van technologische ontwikkelingen, zowel in de maatschappij als bij de threat actors, en hij vertaalt die ontwikkelingen naar Northwave’s strategie en dienstverlening. Daarnaast treedt Christiaan met Northwave’s CERT team op als crisismanager bij grote organisaties die geraakt worden door ransomware, en is hij actief in de branchevereniging Cyberveilig Nederland. Christiaan combineert zijn technische expertise met strategisch leiderschap om complexe onderwerpen helder en inspirerend over te brengen. **ONZE SPONSOREN** Dankbaar dat wij in de gelegenheid gesteld worden om deze MeetUp's te organiseren en aan te bieden.

We willen een plek bieden voor iedereen die zich soms klem voelt onder het juk van ‘beheersing’. Want -**beheersing is geen corvee** — beheersing is waardevol, leuk en nodig. Daarbij streven we naar een diverse vertegenwoordiging uit allerlei sectoren, vakgebieden en lagen van organisaties. **SPREKEN OF SPONSOREN** Wil je spreken? Laat het ons weten! Of overweeg je om de community te sponsoren **— net als [Root Industries](https://www.root.industries/)? Mail ons via** [wouter@root.industries](wouter@root.industries) voor de mogelijkheden. **KOM OOK!** We kijken uit naar je aanwezigheid en bijdragen om samen onze community verder te versterken — uiteraard in de intensief ontspannen, interactieve sfeer die je van ons kent. **Meld je nu aan — graag tot 10 april 2026, 15:00 uur bij A Beautiful Mess in Amsterdam.** **PS**: het wordt weer een vol en pakkend programma, dus: kom op tijd!

'KAFKA ON THE SHORE' by Haruki Murakami 'The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami's new novel is at once a classic tale of quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.' ***Please read the book and join us for a lively discussion (in English) about the contents during our afternoon book club meeting.*** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **PLEASE NOTE:** This is an IN-PERSON event in Amersfoort, The Netherlands.

I will go through some of the history, science and health benefits of kimchi. The workshop will start with a kimchi tasting session where you will gauge your spiciness level! I will make 3 batches of kimchi 12 days before the workshop with 3 levels of spiciness. You will taste each kimchi to deteremine how spicy you want to make your own jar. I will demonstrate how to make the chilli paste and then you will all prepare the vegetables together. I will show you how to prepare the vegetables and how different sizes might impact the taste, texture and mouthfeel of the kimchi. The kimchi will contain white cabbage, white raddish, carrot, apple, spring onions, onions, shallots, garlic, ginger, saujeot shrimp and fish sauce. A vegetarian/vegan/gluten free option is also available using soya sauce, miso paste or tamari please contact me for more information. Naturally you can omit any ingredient if you wish. You will finally mix the sauce into the cabbage and chopped vegetables and pack it into your perserving jars to take home to ferment and enjoy. You will probably have a little kimchi that won't fit into the jar and you can eat it as fresh kimchi (geotjeori) with a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds. A pdf recipe file will be emailed to you after the workshop. It contains very detailed step by step instructions and quantities in grams and item units. The file will also have a reference section detailing each ingredient and what to buy, a list of local suppliers for all ingredients and jars and additional notes on storage. The workshop includes all the ingredients, a 2L preserving jar and instruction recipe pdf. All kitchen equipment is provided. The workshop is a fun and relaxing afternoon of hands on making of delicious food, laughing and chatting. Please check out the photos from my previous workshops. Please bring a strong carrying bag as the 2L jar inclulding kimchi will weigh close to 4KG. An apron and gloves are provided but it is recommended to wear old or dark coloured clothes as the chilli paste will stain light coloured clothes. **Venue location:** [Buurt Huis Lydia](https://buurthuislydia.nl/) Basement Floor Kitchen Roelof Hartplein 2A, 1071 TT [https://maps.app.goo.gl/hKnng4bE78N1qbsE6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/hKnng4bE78N1qbsE6) The kitchen area is in the basement of Buurt Huis Lydia. **Cost and payment:** The workshop full price is €70.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
