    We’ll explore creative techniques, experiment with instant cameras and discover how imperfection and unpredictability can become part of the creative process. At the end, we will decorate the pictures taken during the workshop.

  4. Queer talk

    Rita community center, Reguliersdwarsstraat 54, Amsterdam

    Queer talk

    Rita community center, Reguliersdwarsstraat 54, Amsterdam

    There was a time when communities gathered around the fire to share stories.

    We didn't get to know each other through headlines, labels or opinions. We got to know each other by listening. Through stories, strangers became friends, differences became bridges, and people remembered they belonged.

    Today, we have never been more connected, yet many of us have never felt more alone.

    Queer Talk is an invitation to slow down and return to something ancient.

    An intimate evening where three people with the courage to tell the truth share the stories that shaped them. Stories of identity, love, grief, joy, transition, resilience and belonging. Not because they have all the answers, but because someone in the room might finally hear the words they needed.

    After the stories, we stay.

    We talk.

    We listen.

    We meet one another beyond assumptions, labels and first impressions.

    Everything we create is rooted in three simple words: Safety · Truth · Coherence. Because we believe people don't tell the truth until they feel safe, and that genuine connection begins when we have the courage to be seen as we are.

    Whether you're queer, questioning, an ally, or simply someone longing for deeper human connection, you are warmly welcome.

    Come exactly as you are. We'll meet you there. 🦅♥️
