Raising Radicals

By: börek - October 11th, 2026  Filed under: children's activity, Meeting

Sunday October 25, 2026, Raising Radicals, een (soort van) maandelijks op een zondag om 14.00 in Joe’s Garage, Amsterdam-Oost

Een (soort van) maandelijks ouder-verzorger-kind-cafe maar dan een beetje anders. Misschien komt er af en toe een specifiek thema aan bod zoals; welke acties zijn veilig met kinderen en welke niet? Alternatieve gezinsvormen vieren of misschien is er soms een leuke activiteit voor kids, of misschien is het gewoon al leuk genoeg om te kletsen met politieke activistische ouders en kunnen kids lekker met elkaar spelen, klagen over hun hippy-ouders whatever. Alle input en ideeen zijn super welkom.
Stuur graag door naar alle ouders/verzorgers die zich thuis voelen op een plek als Joe’s Garage!

A monthly-ish parent-child cafe, but a little different. Perhaps a specific theme is discussed occasionally, such as; which actions are safe with children and which are not? Or maybe there is a fun activity for kids, or maybe it’s just fun enough to chat with political activist parents and kids can play with each other, complain about their hippy parents, whatever. All input and ideas are super welcome, Please forward to all parents/ caretakers who feel at home in a place like Joe’s Garage.

From 20:30 to 22:00, music on the stage with Moukliomos Drom. Donations more than welcome.

With great pleasure, we are welcoming back Yiannis Chaldoupis at Joe’s Garage, this time with Moukliomos Drom. In 2022, Yiannis had visited an event organised by Aman Molli and ended up on the stage with his clarinet. In 2024, Yiannis performed with Nikos Tsop on guitar.
Moukliomos Drom is a band with deep roots in Epirus, Greece. Yiannis performs with Joris van Beek (violin), René Gosse (percussion) and Jan Wollring (accordion).
“The heart of our sound is formed by clarinetist Yiannis Chaldoupis, born and raised in Parakalamos. This village in northwestern Greece, near the Albanian border, is known for its vibrant Roma community. They play a crucial role in the preservation and development of the Epirotika (the unique, local music style of the Pogoni region). Yiannis grew up in this tradition and learned to play the clarinet from his uncle from the age of thirteen – in exchange of cutting wood for the man” https://moukliomos-drom.geomuziek.nl/ […Lees verder]

20:00 Sesten Sese: A Curated Evening of Shared Voices

This evening brings together three musical practices connected through voice, community, and collective memory. Opening with the intimate songwriting of Anllel Maria and Doğa Ak, followed by the mother–child musical practice of Dilden Dile, and concluding with the collective polyphony of Queer Choir Amsterdam, the programme moves between queer community, Anatolian folk traditions, diasporic memory, couragous worlds and intergenerational exchange. Together, these performances invite audiences to experience singing as a living practice of gathering, listening, and carrying stories forward. Doğa and Allel Doğa Ak and Anllel Maria are a kuir duo of songwriters and singers from Turkey and Ecuador, currently based in the Netherlands.
