The Sensational Workshop, Writing for GBTQ men
Queer hub,
Notweg 38,
Amsterdam
6 sessions in january and february
A series of five writing sessions, each dedicated to one sense: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, followed by a sixth closing session. Drawing from memories and shared experiences, we explore literary techniques, read short texts together, and develop our own writing through guided exercises.
The workshop focuses on language, the body, and queer masculinity. The process culminates in a small collective publication of selected texts.
All bodies and abilities are welcome — diverse experiences enrich the work.
Language: The workshops are conducted in English but other languages may be used for production. We will find ways to read, if you chose another tongue more familiar to you.
Costs: Free
The meetings are on the following dates:
January 20, January 27, February 3, February 10, February 17, and February 24, 2026
Times: Doors open at 7:15 PM. Meetings begin at 7:30 PM. Meetings conclude around 9:30 PM
