Sunday July 26, 2026, movie night: Shadow Game (Eefje Blankevoort, Els van Driel, 2021), documentary with English subtitles. Door opens at 20:00, movie and presentation start at 20:30. Free entrance, donations welcome to support No Name Kitchen (NNK).
Everyday teenagers who have fled their war-torn countries try to cross Europe’s borders in search of protection and a better life. They travel through a shadow world we never see: a world of minefields, bears, fast-flowing rivers, smugglers and border guards. ‘The game’ is the bitterly ironic term for crossing borders that has become commonplace among these young refugees. Risking their lives, the teenagers undertake a treacherous journey that often takes months or even years. Along the way, they grow up fast. Shadow Game is a journey through the dark side of Europe with teenage refugees as our guides. Shadow Game is a transmedia project by Eefje Blankevoort and Els van Driel. It consists of a feature-length documentary, a web series, an adventure game and a photo series in collaboration with Cigdem Yuksel. Trailer of the movie: https://vimeo.com/514264176
The proceeds of this screening will go to No Name Kitchen (NNK), a grassroots organisation committed to defending the rights of people on the move across European border countries.

Saturday April 25, 2026, Bella Ciao dinner & party. Door opens at 18:00, food served from 20:00. Cash only!
April 25th marks Italy’s National Liberation Day, a celebration of the country’s freedom from the nazi-fascist occupation.
81 years ago, on this very day, the partisans of the Italian Resistance regained control of Northern Italy, bringing an end to twenty years of fascist oppression and five years of war.
For two years, the partisans fought under the Italian tricolor flag, standing against the black flags of the fascists and the swastikas of the nazis.
Celebrating April 25th means remembering that struggle for freedom and democracy and defending the values of Italy’s anti-fascist Constitution that was born from that struggle.
To celebrate these ideals we’re hosting a Bella Ciao dinner and party. There will be great food, live music. […Lees verder]

Monday December 15, 2025, No Borders. Fundraiser for No borders protesters facing potential jail or house arrest on December 16th trial. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
Our comrade has been convicted to four years in prison in association with a protest against a border wall between Italy and Austria in 2016. The aim of the project was to block the migrant routes from Italy, another attempt at building Fortress Europe. The project fell through and the wall was never built, but over 60 people have been convicted. The charges were devastation, looting, aggravated resistance and damage. After the first round of appeal — enabled by your support back in February — the most serious charges were dropped and the maximum sentence was reduced from ten years to four. The 16 of December is the final round of court to decide if to give them house arrest. If you can donate, please do so here. All funds will go to the legal defense. On the 7 May 2016, at the Brenner Pass, hundreds of No Borders demonstrators protested against the Austrian state’s migration policy. At that time, the Austrian government had announced plans for tighter border controls, to restrict access through the Alpine crossing and to build a fence to prevent a new influx of refugees arriving from Italy.
We stand in solidarity with our comrades who: campaign against borders everyday, fight for freedom of movement, fight fascism and repression, oppose police violence. It is our duty to fight for freedom and it is our duty to win. […Lees verder]
Wednesday December 10, 2025, Actual Tea Party and Letters to Prisoners Writing Session, 16:00 – 19:00
Let’s gather around a teacup and delicious cookies to write letters to prisoners!
Repression in Italy is becoming increasingly harsher due to a new ridiculous “security law” approved last June. In recent months, numerous comrades have been arrested and detained under illegal conditions, in an attempt to isolate them from their community and to scare those who fight against repressive laws and big infrastructures (especially under attack is the struggle against the building of what would be longest suspension bridge in the world connecting Calabria to Sicily?! – as our just dearly departed national icon singer Ornella Vanoni said (at 91yo): truly who the fuck cares).
We are organising this meeting to show them our solidarity through letters.
— If you have contacts with prisoners who would like to receive letters, we invite you to come and we will write letters for them too! <33333
Snacks will be on donation basis and the profits will go towards covering the legal costs of those detained following the protests against the construction of the Calabria-Sicily bridge.
