    Center of Attention: Pleasure

    By The Pleasure Society @ Huis Willet-Holthuysen, Herengracht 605, Amsterdam

    For one evening, the historic rooms of Huis Willet-Holthuysen will become a stage for queer pleasure, sexuality and erotic performances. Wander through rooms where contemporary queer perspectives meet 17th-century architecture — through workshops, performances, sound and conversations that explore pleasure as a language of resistance, connection and joy. An evening on which Amsterdam’s queer communities leave their mark on the walls of a house that has borne witness to change for centuries.

    Programme
    Move to the sounds of Rachel Green and performances by Eirini Kakopierou and others. Join a talk on chosen family, hosted by Noah de Campos Neto, or explore The Queer Agenda's photography exhibition on queer censorship on social media.

    During a shibari performance by Antartica & Qotton, you can try your hand at life drawing. Put your knowledge to the test in the ‘De Slimste Queer’ pub quiz, hosted by Tessel ten Zweege and Elmer.

    Rather switch your brain off for a bit? Laugh along at Mezrab's Comedy Café, cheer on the many queer battles in our boxing ring, hosted by Hunkydory, or challenge other visitors to a few classic Dutch games. And of course, we'll wrap up the night on the dance floor with AK Soundsystem.
