Benefit Voku for Takland Vrijstraat

By: börek - January 5th, 2025  Filed under: Volkseten/Voku

Monday January 6, 2025, Benefit VoKu for Takland Vrijstraat. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Takland is a squatted house and social center that’s been running since Kingsday 2023, when we declared ourselves independent from the Dutch state. For the past months we’ve been hosting a weekly jazz bar with different musicians opening and a jam session after. Running the space, getting all the equipment and also maintaining the house costs a lot of money and energy. So come by for some great food and to support another social center so that we can also host benefits again.

Antichrist(mas) – Fuck your Hallmark Holiday VoKu

By: börek - December 18th, 2024  Filed under: Volkseten/Voku

Wednesday December 25, 2024, Antichrist(mas) – Fuck your Hallmark Holiday VoKu. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Another year of manufactured cheer, another season of capitalist ritual.
No more capitalist spectacle. No more lonely Christmas.
Are you alone this Christmas? Abandoned by a system that commodifies connection? Estranged from family structures that never truly supported you? Feeling the cold isolation engineered by neoliberal economies that strip away genuine human solidarity?
Tonight we cook together.
Bodies moving. Hands chopping. Strangers becoming community.
Reject the system that keeps us divided. Reclaim connection through collective cooking.
Everyone is welcome to cook, eat, clean or have fun. No hierarchy or religion. Just solidarity.

The film deals with the pending eviction of the Neighborhood “Baaibuurt West” in Amsterdam, an undefined space that has naturally grown and developed over the past 40 years and is home to several individual communities, big and small, many plant and animal species, and plenty of free birds. The purpose of the Voku is to get together, have some good food, and possibly tell some stories about our part of this city which we’ll have to leave behind on December 31st. All profits will be donated to No Border Kitchen.

Solidarity voku for our comrades in Peru fighting against mining companies

By: börek - December 10th, 2024  Filed under: Volkseten/Voku

Thursday December 12, 2024, Solidarity voku for our comrades in Peru fighting against mining companies. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Gira Holanda warmly invites you to this benefit voku. We will share this meal in solidarity with our comrades from Perú, in the region of Cajamarca, who are and have been resisting for years against the violence of mining companies, such as Goldcorp and Newmont. These corporations seek to profit from the land and water of local communities, extracting gold and other minerals from the Andean mountains, leaving behind holes on the earth, desertified soil, and polluted water and wind.
With this dinner we aim to provide a little financial help to our comrades who are resisting there, and who have had to flee to Europe to protect themselves, and to create a little moment of awareness of the violence that mining involves. Mining for our technologies and our luxury in the “Global North”.

¡AGUA SÍ, ORO NO!
WATER YES, GOLD NOT!. […Lees verder]
