  2. Workshop Monsters

    Workshop Monsters

    QueerHub Nieuw-West, Notweg 38, Amsterdam

    OndersteBoven kicks off 2026 and with it its 20th anniversary with the workshop Monsters by Dorian de Rijk, organized together with Queer Currents as the closing event of 2 years of Alliantie Queer365, supported by the Municipality of Amsterdam.

    Join us on an expedition!

    For this special occasion, Dorian has created a workshop about safety and belonging. Dorian: "Monsters is about how we deal with things that aren't clear-cut. It celebrates that you can look at things from different angles. How do you deal with something that can't be captured in one word? Even in a place where you feel safe, something can feel different than you expect. What does safety actually feel like? And how do we think we should experience it?"

    Monsters wants to create space that doesn't exist yet. New space for new experiences, a space where anything can happen. A queer space. Create your own monster portrait with Dorian, design a Fake-ID, or brew an elixir. This winter is the moment to deepen roots and create new forms of belonging.

    In her work, Dorian draws inspiration from the Japanese Knotweed, a plant that grows everywhere. This plant shows us a new way of looking at belonging. The Japanese Knotweed makes every place her home. She grows through everything. She can be disruptive, but also healing. In winter, she goes underground to strengthen her roots. A monster, full of resilience.

    You are welcome, so do register!

    AutiRoze

    DOC, Stadhouderskade 89, Amsterdam

    De lobby van het Dovenontmoetingscentrum (DOC) is inmiddels een thuis geworden voor onze maandelijkse bijeenkomsten. Het DOC heeft een leuke bar met lieve vrijwilligers die je graag helpen met een drankje. Deze vrijwilligers zijn dus slechthorend of doof maar kunnen goed liplezen en leren je graag een woordje in gebarentaal als je daar interesse in hebt.

    Er is een zitgedeelte in de lobby bij het raam en in het midden van de zaal staan tafels met spelletjes, en in de kast van de lobby staan nog meer puzzels en spellen. Er is ook een hoekje achteraf met wat minder licht waar je even kunt afzonderen als dat nodig is.

    Het is een rustige omgeving, er is geen muziek en we hebben sfeer verlichting. Bij binnenkomst wordt je verwelkomt door Jojo, Remon of Qilan. Je ontvangt dan twee muntjes voor consumpties. Hapjes en snacks zijn gratis. Via de nieuwsbrief ben je op de hoogte of er die avond nog een activiteit plaatsvind zoals Bingo, Hints of een lezing.

    Bye bye 2025 & here we go, 2026!

    After a year overflowing with drag mayhem, sexiness, machissimo, otherworldliness, oddities, sweetness, and rebellion; and 6 unforgettable editions, we bonded, gathered, laughed, and cried together in beautiful queer chaos.

    After much suspense about what 2026 would bring for MATES & MASCara, we are thrilled to announce: we’re back!

    So mark your calendars and ask your crush, lover(s) or bestie to join us for our first edition of 2026: a Valentine’s special you won’t want to miss.
