The Spirit of Amsterdam

Imagine: a church or mosque as a party venue. During The Spirit of Amsterdam, more than 40 places of worship will transform into a celebration space. For example, in the Fatih mosque, you can attend a Zikir ritual for men and women. In a Protestant church, the focus is on what it means to be both queer and Muslim, and at the Protestant Deaconry, you can visit a wedding marathon for couples in love who cannot marry. This includes people without residence permits, for instance, or the homeless. Check out the complete programme.

The Spirit of Amsterdam | Friday 22 - to Sunday 24 November | various times and locations
