  15. Queer art club

    Kriterion, Roetersstraat 170, Amsterdam

    Queer art club

    Kriterion, Roetersstraat 170, Amsterdam

    Something new, something cool! We're collabing with @kriterionamsterdam for Pride Month! On Sunday the 22nd we’re doing Queer Art Club AND we're watching a movie in their gorgeous theater together! That’s June 22nd, from 3:40 pm to 6:30 pm. Have a relaxed and artsy time with us & bring all your queer friends (or make some new ones)! 🎨🌈

    The movie: Looking for Langston (1989)

    A black and white, fantasy-like recreation of high-society gay men during the Harlem Renaissance, with archival footage and photographs intercut with a story. A wake is going on, with mourners gathered around a coffin. Downstairs is an elegant bar where tuxedoed men dance and talk. One of them has a dream in which he comes upon Beauty, who seems to reject him, although when he awakes, Beauty is sleeping beside him. His story and his visits to the jazz and dance club are framed by voices reading from the poetry and essays of Hughes and others. The text is rarely explicit, but the freedom of gay Black men in the 1920s in Harlem is suggested and celebrated visually.

    Queer Art Club basics:

    * bring your own art project/supplies
    * all levels and art forms are welcome
    * queers only (you know who you are)
    * registration for the movie is required, link in bio

    Kriterion is a wheelchair accessible space.

    Bottoms up bar

    Free Willie, Amstel 178, Amsterdam

    🧷 Opening night: July 8th — Pool competitions at 7pm & 9pm

    We’re launching a weekly afternoon and night bar unlike anything else in Amsterdam

    To bring comfort:
    for FLINTA (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, genderfuck, genderqueer and agender folks).

    A space to come as you are. To share time, breath, language, silence, sweat, or just a drink.
    Not a kinky party. Not a dance floor.
    A soft & rowdy container for joy, rage, care and expression.

    ✨BUB comes from the same universe as BOTTOMsUP — and stands for both Baby (in Aussie slang) and BOTTOMS UP BAR.
    Let’s build this place together, week by week.

    Intersex Film Festival

    Theaterzaal van OBA Oosterdok, Oosterdokskade 143, Amsterdam

    During Pride Amsterdam, “I” on screen brings a programme of impressive films, documentaries and shorts focusing on intersex experiences. Each story invites understanding, wonder, and dialogue. Whether you get sucked into the probing stories or listen to the inspiring panel discussions, there is always something to experience.

    That's not all: discover the Pink Giants in the IHLIA exhibition, and engage with experts, experts by experience and filmmakers. Together, we will make visible and discuss what has long been invisible.

    Experience, learn and enjoy!

    Delamar theater, Marnixstraat 402, Amsterdam

    Willem & Frieda: Roze Verzet

    Delamar theater, Marnixstraat 402, Amsterdam

    In de opvolger van de succesmusical De Mol en de Paradijsvogel staan de queer verzetshelden Willem Arondéus en Frieda Belinfante centraal! We reizen af naar Hollywood in 1949, waar het leven van Frieda Belinfante stilstaat en de oorlogsjaren in Nederland ver weg lijken. Totdat haar oude vriend Willem Arondéus verschijnt. Tot grote verbazing van Frieda, want Willem is in de oorloog geëxecuteerd door de nazi’s. Samen namen ze deel aan de beroemde aanslag op het Amsterdamse bevolkingsregister, maar ze hebben daar vanwege hun geaardheid nooit erkenning voor gekregen. In deze meeslepende, humoristische en ontroerende musical wordt eindelijk het verhaal van Willem en Frieda verteld en komt hun vriendschap in een onverwacht nieuw licht te staan.
