While a certain big fish enjoys living in the center of London, one of his houses in Amsterdam, left alone for 11 years, was squatted in March of this year. Sadly, the big fish does not want to pay the electricity bill and the little fish with little money are left with a big bill to pay.
Will you help them out?? Come to the voku, enjoy the food and company, and help us get out of a couple hundred euro debt! […Lees verder]

Eat in solidarity of Tío Mane Reading Room in San José del Peñón, Montes de María, Colombia on Monday 30th of June.

Today, this space is at risk. Its asbestos roof is deteriorating, posing a health hazard to visitors and endangering the books that have shaped generations.

Solidarity VoKu for The Freedom Theatre in Jenin Occupied Palestine

By: börek - June 22nd, 2025  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday June 23, 2025, Solidarity VoKu for The Freedom Theatre in Jenin Occupied Palestine. Food served from 7pm, no reservation!

The Freedom Theatre stands for Resistance through Art. It has been repeatedly attacked and severely damaged by the brutal occupation of the Israeli army. Its artistic directors and participants have been harassed, incarcerated and tortured in an attempt to suppress every voice of resistance. Still The Freedom Theatre stands strong and continue to spread the words of liberation, participatory arts and human dignity.

The Freedom Theatre in her own words:
“The Freedom Theatre is a theatre and cultural centre in Jenin refugee camp, occupied Palestine. We stage professional theatre productions, hold theatre workshops in the refugee camp, Jenin town and villages, offer training in acting, pedagogy and photography, and publish books, exhibitions and short films.
Since we opened our doors in 2006, we have made theatre and visual art available to every young person in Jenin refugee camp. Our work has made Jenin refugee camp known in Palestine and internationally for innovative, thought-provoking theatre and media productions. We have created a generation of artists and leaders, who one day will be at the forefront of the Palestinian liberation movement.”

Voku for Lenna squat legal costs and floor repairs

By: börek - June 7th, 2025  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday June 9, 2025, Voku for Lenna squat legal costs and floor repairs. Food served from 7pm, no reservation!

What is Lenna? Lenna is not just our squat dog. Lenna is also a building on Oetewalerstraat 8, liberated from supposedly “non profit” social housing organization Ymere. Almost two years passed since the last residents have been forced to relocate and this former social housing has been left to rot waiting for the new landlords privatization. Oetewalerstraat 18, also from Ymere, used to be squatted for more than 10 years.
So continuing a long tradition of reclaiming social housing around the neighborhood and Oetewalerstraat itself, Oetewalerstraat 8 has been squatted by a friendly active group almost two months ago. However, we are already engaged in legal conversations and we are succeeding in it!!! At least until we can pay our lawyer…
The ground floor is as messy as Ymere itself. We would like to share our ground floor and our back yard with the community, but apparently we have no floor in the ground floor. These fixing projects requires a bit of funds which we don’t really have. […Lees verder]

The Molli in the Pijp is one of the oldest anarchist places of the city, being squatted in 1979.
For many years the Molli has been legalized, with all the struggles this entails. Molli Voku crew will take over the Joe’s Monday VoKu and they will blow your tastbuds away. All proceeds will (saddly) go to the legal cost of having a legalized squatters bar, mainly renewing the horeca permit…
