Thursday October 24th 2013, Benefit voku, towards fighting unjust evictions, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm

Tonight’s benefit will go towards fighting unjust evictions. On October 1st 2013, the three year anniversary since squatting was made illegal in The Netherlands, an apartment was squatted on a social housing block that the owner Eigen Haard plans to demolish sometime in the distant future, to make way for privately owned houses. Now only three weeks on the squat faces eviction. When evicted the apartment is likely to remain empty or be given to the anti-squat company Camelot until demolition begins (no sooner than in the 2nd quarter of 2014 according to the owners website). We want to fight this unjust violation of are constitutional and human rights in court. That fight costs money folks! So come eat and dig deep into your pockets to support the cause! […Lees verder]

Monday October 21st 2013, Benefiet Voku SOWETO, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm

Soweto goes for Pieter Nieuwland – Update on SOWETO & the Pieter Nieuwland project.
We are a collective that is enthusiastic about creating more community owned housing. We are currently taking an old school building in Amsterdam Oost and turning it into a community living, working, and social space. We are seeing this as a starting point in bringing more buildings back in to the public domain – a counter movement toward the growing privatization of public spaces a reclaiming move against the increased corporate ownership of property.
The housing association “Soweto” aims to do what the official ‘social housing corporations’ don’t deliver: to provide communities with affordable space for living, working, organising, talking politics and having fun. It all started with trying to legalize Joe’s garage in the squatted Pretoriusstraat 28. Unfortunately, that wasn’t successful – but now the Pieter Nieuwlandstraat project, close to the Dappermarkt is about to be realized. […Lees verder]

Time for a new Voices of Women Media evening! We are a women’s organization that works with different communities of girls and women to encourage the understanding and making of media.

We are in the process of raising funds for our latest project. The project, called ‘Displaced,’ aims at providing young first or second-generation migrant women living in the Netherlands, Romania, Greece and Spain with video and photography tools to allow them to create and tell their own stories, as well as control their own images of representation.

We want to provide a safe and creative space for young migrant women to celebrate their identity and belonging and share them with the world using multimedia. Join us on Monday for a screening of selected videos done by our former participants – all migrant stories told my migrants themselves. And, of course, for a discussion. Vegan dinner will be served at 19:00, as usual. […Lees verder]
