On 25 September 2025, we opened the doors of COKO Space Amsterdam — a new home for creativity, collaboration, and community.

The evening came alive with an unforgettable performance by Avantika Tibrewal, whose work set the perfect tone for what COKO stands for: connection through art, movement, diversity and shared experience.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, celebrated with us, and helped make this opening so special.
Here’s to many more moments like this!

About the Performance

Trashed My Title invites you an experience that both dazzles and disturbs in equal measure. Often dismissed as low culture, vulgar, or kitsch, the performance embraces the consumption of popular culture and the subconscious value beneath its glossy surface.

Far from a guilty pleasure, Trashed My Title grants a rarer gift: Permission. Permission to find joy in internal desire beyond rigid notions of “good” taste. Here, shame transforms into celebration as bodies move unapologetically in defiance of judgment. Amidst the communal glow of sequins and shine lies a soft yet subversive revolt—a glamorous reclaiming of pleasure.

In 2024, Trashed My Title was officially added to the library archives of the University of Vienna’s Theatre Department, making Tibrewal the first Indian artist to have her work preserved alongside pioneers like Doris Uhlich, Julian Hetzel, Jerome Bel, and Judith Sanchez Ruí. This inclusion ensures broader accessibility for both academic and public engagement. Tibrewal continues to shape diasporic and decolonial discourse within a predominantly Eurocentric art world, establishing herself as an emerging voice on the international performance landscape.

About Avantika Tibrewal

Intimate, provocative, and thought-provoking, Tibrewal’s work explores human behavior and the politics of the unspoken within social norms. By positioning the body as a vessel of meaning-making, she fluidly moves between live performance and documentary interview, providing audiences with a dynamic experience that critically responds to the fast-paced attention economy of modern spectatorship. Uninterested in fixed narratives, Tibrewal allows the performer-audience relationship to organically reveal the deeper messages embedded in her work.
