Join artists, musicians, and activists at Artivism: Breaking the Chains, a one-day event at Plantage Doklaan, Amsterdam. Explore how colonial legacies still shape bodies, economies, and power; through art, music, and workshops that create space for silenced voices, reflection, and resistance. Location: Plantage Doklaan 8, Amsterdam.
What to expect
Artivism: Breaking the Chains brings together visual art, live music, and interactive workshops in the historic surroundings of Plantage Doklaan. Expect installations and performances that confront the ways colonial histories are still written into our bodies, our economies, and the systems that decide who is protected and who is left exposed. Workshops invite you to move beyond watching and into doing, unpacking these legacies together and imagining what repair and resistance can look like in practice.
Who it's for
This event is for anyone who believes art can hold difficult histories and open up honest conversation — activists, artists, students, and curious neighbours alike. Voices that are too often silenced take centre stage, and the audience is invited to listen, reflect, and take part rather than simply observe. Whether you come for the music, the art, or the workshops, you'll leave with a sharper sense of how the past still shapes the present, and where you fit into changing it.
