Upcycled Pride flag by Dide Verkerk // 25 July // Volkshotel & Werkplaats
Dide Verkerk turns waste into bold, upcycled garments and wearable protest pieces. Pieces that celebrate imperfection and genderfluidity. Their work pushes against systems and invites people to stand out in their most authentic, raw form. During Pride Week, Dide will translate this spirit into a one-of-a-kind patchwork flag on our windows.
Pride Window Drawing by Lucas Braak // 25 July – 3 August // Werkplaats

Queer Digital Detox // 27 July // Riet
Queer Unplugged invites you to Queer Digital Detox: a day all about mindful tech use, real connection, and radical self-care for queers and friends. Expect a few hours of unplugging, socialising, and watching queer short films, all without your phone. A chance to slow down, look up, and really see each other. Less scroll, more soul.
Queer Gym // 28 July – 1 August // Riet
Amsterdam’s first queer gym, WERQ, is taking over Riet with four Pride workouts. Strength, Yin Yoga, and kickboxing.

Doka Studio x Jezabel // 2 August // Doka
Jezabel is a queer space that celebrates expression through dance, drag, performance, and all things funky. From disco and italo to house. It’s a stage for both established and emerging queer voices in the Netherlands. For them, queerness isn’t just about expression but also a powerful form of protest, and that spirit runs through everything they do.
