Where would we be without Cultural Free Spaces?

WHAT ARE FREE SPACES?

Free spaces are also known as fringe areas. They are pockets of “free space” in the city, not yet developed or designated. People live and work here as part of a collective, either within or just outside the city. There’s room for encounters, experimentation, and social engagement. These are places not focused on commerce and profit.

Free spaces are also characterized by their concern for nature and the climate. There is room for (alternative) art and culture, as well as social and community initiatives. The focus is on sustainability, reuse, recycling, and combating (food) waste. Everyone voluntarily contributes to the bigger picture. These are alternative communities without a traditional “profit model,” but the value of such a collective cannot be underestimated.

HET GROENE VELD

Het Groene Veld is such a free space, one of Amsterdam’s last remaining fringes. A place in the city where culture and nature aren’t invented or planned, but emerge naturally. Free from rigid structures and commercial pressures. Driven by (neighborhood) residents, artists, and curious Amsterdammers who want to create, discover, and connect. It’s a place where you can still make mistakes (and keep making them) and start over, without the feeling of failure. Everyone is welcome at Het Groene Veld and can help build this unique ecosystem.

Deadwood from France

Electro Blues Rock https://deadwood.fr/ An electro-blues duo, then trio... it reeks of metallic drafts and Tom Waits-style tracheitis... Sizzling tales, consumed by firewater, from rock to blues via swampy hip-hop on a hypnotic loop. A disjointed doll, a mystical-asympathetic guitarist, and his demonic double. They embark the audience on an improbable raft on a treacherous sea, in a concert as chaotic as it is demonic, as bluesy as it is noisy, as drunken as it is inspired. De Stokers Melancolic circus Polka Punk meets Ska & pinch of Klezmer https://www.destokers.com/ Fajadja All original Bassheavy funk hiphop ska reggae disco Beats.. https://www.facebook.com/FajadjaBand/ Pish ‘n’ Chips Taxidermy Puppet show https://www.instagram.com/pish_n_chips?igsh=MXE5MnEyZHdoMWlmZw==
