Holding Back the Tide

20-11-2025 20:30 - 22:00

Amsterdam

A woman swallows a pearl. A subway car falls to the ocean floor. A deluge bursts through the cracks of New York City. In every borough, oyster shells are pried apart and carefully returned to sea. A chorus of farmers, diners, sous chefs, fishmongers, activists, and landscape architects colloquializes the oyster’s many lifecycles. These educational snapshots about the bivalve’s ecological role, mating habits, communal living, and historical presence take on new meaning and flirt with the mythic. Underwater dances and poetic addresses blend the human and nonhuman worlds. The oyster as a water filter, carbon capturer, storm barrier, and habitat maker transcends its environmental promise and becomes a queer icon of New York City’s unlikely survival story.

Retracing cyclical ecologies for the largest metropolitan area in the United States calls upon an existential reimaging of a sustainable future. Out with the narratives of bootstraps and capitalist urban individualism; in with the water-bound, the intergenerational, the queer collectivity. Once New York City was built by the oysters. Now, it is built anew.

The director will be present at the screening, which is the Dutch Premiere for this documentary.

𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙡𝙮 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙞 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮

“Level 2 classes are for those who already know how to coil rope, tie a single column tie and double column tie each with double wraps and a square knot. You have taken in-person lessons both as the one tying and the one getting tied. Preferably you already have your own ropes.”

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘿𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨:
*Duration: 3 hours (2 hours of class + 1-hour rope-jam for free tying and socialising)
*Language: English (Dutch translation available)
*Discounts: 20% off for community members! DM for the discount code.
*Volunteer discount is 25% off, dm for the code and volunteering information.
*Self-tying or partnering up in two and more is possible, will be initiated during the class

We aspire to give more space to queer, trans and gender non-conforming people of color and immigrants, as organising team we would like to see more of our community in our space. Each class includes a space-holding person to ensure everyone feels welcome and supported.

𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙊𝙬𝙣 𝙍𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙨: 𝙉𝙤 𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙨? 𝙉𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢! 𝘽𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙚 (𝙞𝙛 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙘𝙠) 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙪𝙨.

𝘽𝙞𝙤 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧: She’s the founder of RopeLounge and has been teaching shibari for over 10 years in Amsterdam. The aesthetics and Japanese approach to tying have a great appeal to her. Generally she likes the more challenging way of tying and enjoys seeing her partners suffer in her ropes. From an educational point of view she likes to focus both on the technical part for safety reasons and the playful part for fun.

Poly stories - Poly parenting

26-11-2025 19:00 - 21:30

Treehouse NDSM, T.T. Neveritaweg 55-57, Amsterdam

Other than the nuclear family, known from television and the instructional guides our surroundings hand us, poly parenting may look a bit different. Breaking the rules is exciting, but what do you see when picturing an ENM family? A kitchen table with four middle-aged lovers, sharing pasta and value systems with a child on lap? A woman zipping up her dress and handing cash to the babysitter before heading out for date number three this week? How about the pregnant couple, who, overcome by nesting hormones, is not sure what to do with the unicorn? Or, yourself, with no child wish, developing a crush on that cute parent?

Poly parenting might be a question of the more the merrier - and then some additional questions. Eyebrows might raise and demand explanations, lovers may or may not (want to) be involved, children may or may not know. What to do when perspectives, wants and needs change throughout the years?

Since there is no clear guideline on parenting in an ethically non-monogamous structure, endless possibilities lie ahead for exploration. How do others handle this situation? What have they learnt? What has surprised them? Let’s come together and design our own family tree.

FiteQlub festival

29-11-2025 - 30-11-2025

Akhnaton, Nieuwezijds Kolk 25, Amsterdam

Our bodies remember, resist, and reimagine.
This festival brings us together to practice care, collective healing, joy, playfulness through different practices and rituals. Together we’ll build trust, share skills, and pass on history, centering decolonial, intersectional politics, sexual liberation, and the wisdom of lived experience.

Expect shibari sessions, BD$M, sensuality, playfulness (you know what kind), storytelling, and moments of rest.
We’re here to learn and unlearn, to protect each other, and to celebrate pride that refuses to leave anyone behind.

👉BIPOC cuties to the front!
👉No cis-men policy!

Shibari is centred around the dynamic between partners and creating a scene of play where ropes are leading the player. The practice is rooted in eroticism but evolved outside Japan apart from sexual also to artistic practices and community building. Whether you’re tying or getting tied, our classes provide a safe entry point into this beautiful practice.
