    Expo Closing Party – Between Here and Nowhere

    Bar Bario, Bilderdijkstraat 186, Amsterdam

    Join us for the closing celebration of Between Here and Paradise, an exhibition exploring youth in Baladougou, Mali. The works trace stories of growing up between tradition and modernity, while reflecting on the artists’ own journeys into adulthood.

    Galakoor presents: 'Fool Me Twice'

    Vrijburg, Diepenbrockstraat 16, Amsterdam

    Fool Me Twice… But what if that second time is actually the chance to rewrite the story? In 750 years, a lot has changed in Amsterdam. Where queer love was once kept secret, today the same songs are sung again—now freely! We will sing songs by Benjamin Britten, Jake Runestad, Clara Mak, Schweelinck, Amy Beach and Samuel Barber, among others. Joost Kleppe wrote a short prelude especially for this concert.

    Half of the program will be performed a cappella – vulnerable, pure, self-reliant. The other half will be supported by the warm accompaniment of pianist Gerrie Meijers.

  2. Poly stories - Jealousy talks

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

    Poly stories - Jealousy talks

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

    When did you experience jealousy for the last time? Jealousy. We’ve all felt it, whether as children with no access to the right crayon, watching our lover sliding across the room after batted eyelashes, or deep into our polyamourous seniority, when we were least expecting it.

    In the ENM community, where freedom, compersion and sharing are front and center, we might hide from our jealousy because it makes us question our legitimacy as a poly person. Doesn’t that erase the conversation?

    Let’s stop jealousy shaming and dive within. Jealousy shakes you to the core and wakes you up to the things you’ll want to work through, or desire to ask from another. It can be beautiful, or hurtful, depending on what you do with it. Like every feeling, it is valid.

    What is the line between claiming responsibility for our feelings, and finding a way all partners can feel free and safe at the same time?

    Poly Stories invites you in the exploration of the wondrous world of non-monogamy through personal storytelling—together navigating the edges and unpacking (moral) dilemmas.

    Bookclub: The argonauts

    Café Saarein, Elandsstraat 119-HS, Amsterdam

    BOOKCLUB: THE ARGONAUTS, MAGGIE NELSON
    Wednesday 1st of October at 20:00, we gather to discuss the landmark book The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson. Ten years after its publication, it has become a modern classic on queer love, autotheory, and motherhood beyond the nuclear family. Blending love story, theory, and queer life, Nelson explores intimacy, transformation, and the possibilities of kinship in fearless and deeply personal ways.
    Join us for an evening of conversation, reflection, and thoughts about this work that continues to spark dialogue, challenge norms, and inspire queer thought.

    Send an email to saareinevenementen@gmail.com to join.

    Poly stories - Poly parenting

    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.
