From 19:00 till 20:00, Volkseten Vegazulu, vegan food served, no reservation.
From 20:30 to 22:00, music on the stage with Moukliamos Drom. Donations more than welcome.

With great pleasure, we are welcoming back Yiannis Chaldoupis at Joe’s Garage, this time with Moukliamos 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.
Moukliamos 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]

BANGS is an autonomous theatre and performance festival taking place for the third time October 1-4, 2026. BANGS receives no funding, BANGS raises funds! This year, for Palestine and Lebanon.

20:00 Soft-Boy Turkish Oil Wrestling
Ozan is a Turkish man who failed at toxic masculinity. This combination of stand-up comedy and performance art is a high-energy crash course in cultural subversion and absurd physical clowning. He performed this show at Fusion Festival and various places in Berlin, and now he wants to bring a violently funny, unapologetically weird celebration of modern masculinity to Amsterdam!

Voku fundraiser for Zaki Mohammed

By: börek - September 13th, 2026  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday September 24, 2026, Voku fundraiser for Zaki Mohammed. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

On Thursday September 24th, QUT will host a donation based dinner at Joe’s Garage. Vegan food will be served 19:00. The donations will go directly to our friend Zaki Mohammed’s to cover his nursing school tuition fee and help bring much needed food and medicine to his family in Nuseirat Camp. Zaki is a Palestinian volunteer aid worker from Beit Lahia. Since the war on Gaza began, he has witnessed and endured suffering in ways nobody should. The indiscriminate killing of his people and family members, as well as the ongoing forced starvation led Zaki to create QUT, a Palestinian Aid Initiative.

Qut قوت directly translating to food, sustenance or nourishment is a project between Zaki Mohammed and a small organizational team based in Amsterdam. QUT has arranged fundraising events in the form of dinners, presentations and performances with the proceeds going to initiatives that benefit Palestinian people living in occupied Gaza. QUT is a is a way to let Zaki give back to his family and local community.

Through donations to his gofundme Zaki has been able to facilitate:
Construction of a well for clean drinking water,
Distribution of food parcels. Medicine and other necessities.
❤️‍ Medical examinations, check-ups, doctor visits and emergency medical services.
We hope you will join us in raising money for Zaki to continue his pursuit of a medical degree at an online University based in Cairo. We see this as a clear progression of his past aid work and are excited to witness his personal development into a more steadfast future! […Lees verder]

Thursday September 17, 2026, Chaos kitchen Voku for Amsterdam Bangs. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Amsterdam Bangs is an autonomous theater and performance festival that will take place for its third year in a row all over Amsterdam on 1-4 of October 2026. Bangs is non-hierarchically- and self-organised: anyone can propose a show, create a workshop or performance, wherever they want. The past editions of Bangs hosted drag shows, poetry readings, street interventions, a raging bingo, chickens escaping from Albert Heijn, etc. So keep your eyes out for what will happen this year!
The whole festival is one big benefit. Donation are collected after each show and sent to a social cause. For example, last year Bangs collected almost €6000 that was donated to a mutual aid fund in Palestine and a community project in Kashmir.
Want to participate or volunteer for Bangs? Our call out sheet will be open soon.

Solidarity Voku against a social housing eviction. Concert with Les French Fries, Alex Riey & Guillaume Square Neck

By: börek - September 3rd, 2026  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday September 10, 2026, Solidarity Voku against a social housing eviction, concert with Les French Fries, Alex Riey & Guillaume Square Neck. Vegan food served from 7pm, no reservation. Between 20:30 and 22:00, music on the stage. Free entrance, donations more than welcome to support the 2 touring bands.

The money of the voku will go to help support M, a 24-year-old currently threatened with eviction. M. arrived in France alone at the age of 15 and was taken in charge by the state’s children services. He managed to find work in a bakery at night and was granted access to social housing. He also obtained a residence permit but at his last renewal, even though he had submitted all the required documents on time, the state’s service did not issue him a temporary receipt (which allows him to work) while waiting for his new residence card. Because of this, M. lost his job and hasn’t been able to pay rent for the past several months.
He is now threatened with eviction by the social housing company. In light of this urgent situation, friends were able to gather money to lend to M. so that he could pay his rents of the last months and go to a court, where the judge will decide whether or not to cancel the eviction order.
This voku will help reimbourse the money his friends lent him to avoid eviction. Thanks for your support!!


Concert with Les French Fries, Alex Riey & Guillaume Square Neck – Les French Fries (France/USA) a duo of sisters, Elsa & Audrey, playing traditional american old time folk & appalachian harmonies accompanied on the fiddle and the guitar. https://lesfrenchfries.bandcamp.com/

Monday September 7, 2026, Benefit voku for WAVES, Mobile Cinema School in Palestine. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

After the screening of the documentary “The Story of Jenin” from Ehab Ghafri in July, we are now organising an event to support WAVES, a mobile cinema school bringing cameras, sound equipment, editing tools and filmmaking mentors directly to children and teenagers across underserved communities in Palestine. Every child deserves the chance to tell their own story.
From refugee camps to remote villages, WAVES gives young people the tools to write, film, edit and share their own stories, and brings those films back to their communities through outdoor screenings.
WAVES brings cameras to children who have never seen a camera

“We will prioritize:
• Refugee camps (Jenin, Balata, Tulkarm, Nur Shams)
• Remote villages with no arts access
• Schools in marginalized areas
• Community centers serving children with disabilities
We will not leave anyone behind. […Lees verder]
