Radical Sunday School’s second birthday party

Sunday April 6, 2025, Radical Sunday School’s second birthday party. From 12:30 till 23:00.

Radical Sunday School is turning two! Since April 2nd 2023, we have been hosting all types of workshops, discussions, and skill shares almost every week for two years, and WE WANT TO CELEBRATE!
Come join us for a whole day programme! Get cozy at Joe’s and join us for lunch, two amazing workshops, dinner, and an open podium – a day and night you cannot forget.
Thank you to everyone who has been with us and who is curious to see what we do!
Drop in and out whenever – for the workshops, for the food, for the open podium, for the company. We are so happy to celebrate our second year with all of you!

Programme:

12:30 lunch
13:30 – 16:00 first session: Theatre of the Oppressed
The ‘Theatre of the Oppressed’ is a method that allows us to express, manifest, and tackle social oppression. During this workshop, we’ll play, and through playing we research, grow and share perspectives on the personal worldly.
We’ll work with the theme of the day, ‘Communal learning’ and research what that could look like by and through playing theater together.
There’s absolutely no theater experience needed, the workshop facilitator will guide you through the workshop.

16:30 – 18:30 second session: Communal Learning: Confronting Hierarchies Together
Even when we say we’re against all forms of oppression, our radical spaces still have hierarchies. Some people talk more. Some experiences count more. Perspectives are disregarded. Voices go unheard.
What does it mean for those voices to go unheard? How do we actually create room for those on the margins? Let’s cut through the academic bullshit and contradictions, and have an honest conversation about how to actually listen and learn – on how to actually center marginalized voices.
We’ll discuss historical, cultural practices together: practices of learning, of community, and of dialogue, that may help us to learn from and with one another. To create a space where power is genuinely shared, not just talked about.

19:00 dinner
20:00 open podium
As part of our celebration we are hosting an Open Podium! Every radical soul is welcome to take the stage, front and center, and express themselves! 🖤 ANYTHING GOES! Music, poetry, spoken word, theatre, comedy, stories, essays, two minute RANTS, drag – you name it! No microphone – not amplified – bring your own equipment – Joe’s Garage is intimate enough! Time limit of 5-7 minutes for each performance to give everyone the chance to take the stage.

Burendag on the Steve Bikoplein

Saturday 26 september 2020, Burendag on the Steve Bikoplein. Info table, give away shop, drinks and warm food! From 14:00 untill 20:00.

Join us on the square for some drinks or food. We’ll serve Zapatista coffee, kefir, warm borscht and apple cake. Check out the banners and info table, get some update about what’s happening at Joe’s Garage and around in the hood, grab some flyers or some political magazines in Greek, Spanish, English or Dutch. The give away shop is also joining the square, get some books, clothes, bring what you don’t need, your old crowbars and (tomato) seeds for the spring uprising. Meet the community and check out what’s happening in the Transvaal neighborhood. The square is big enough to keep distances from each-others.

Demonstration for the Valreep: October 19th, 14:00

Valreep Legaal demonstration, October 19th 2013

Lawaai Launch Party and Benefit

Friday May 24th 2013: Lawaai Launch Party and Benefit, 19:00 food

The ebb, flow and crises of the capitalist economy, the rise and fall of great empires, the episodic appearance of Halley’s Comet…Great events that come to pass only on serious intervals. Such an event is the publishing of that illustrious magazine: Lawaai! The first issue came out in 2007, after which things became unsettlingly quiet. But no longer do we wait! Number two is here.
Come and celebrate, hang out or criticise the fuck out of us at Joe’s
Garage on the evening of Friday the 24th of May. […Lees verder]

Freetown Bajesdorp, Unplugged Living Room Festival, May 12th 2012

Bajesdorp Festival Poster

On May 12th, a saturday, we gather again, like we’re used to do it once in while. Remember Thuis in Bajesdorp? Tons of quality live acts, uncomplicated friendly and diverse audience, florishing talents taking over the place for your pleasure (and theirs!), all in an awsome non-commercial and non-subsidized event..

But this time, we also do it to celebrate our emancipated freestate, declared on that very same day, namely Freetown Bajesdorp! It sounds funny like that – and it is – but also have some less funny reasons to do this. They’ll be exposed soon in our declaration of independance. At this occasion, just join on what could be the first time in history that an “Independance” is both being declared AND already being commemorated at the same time! […Lees verder]
