In Amsterdam people have been squatting/occupying houses (‘kraken’ in Dutch) for decades. The SKSU, or the Student Squatting Information Center, provides information on squatting and the right contacts necessary to squat something yourself. In this way, the SKSU aims to provide a direct solution to people without a place to stay and at the same time address issues like housing shortage and vacancy in a political way.
Squatting your own place in a safe and sustainable way can be a complicated process and if you are a foreigner planning to squat something in Amsterdam, we would recommend visiting multiple kraakspreekuren / squatting information centers to ensure you are aware of all the important issues and to get to know as many local and experienced squatters as possible.
The SKSU is open on every Thursday, from 19:00 to 20:30

Dirty Immigrant Amsterdam presents Polikarpa y sus viciosas
Friday, Jun 21, 2019 | 21.00 till 3.00 | DonationSince 1994, Polikarpa Y Sus Viciosas, 3 girls coming from Bogota, denounces and awakes political consciousness using music as a mean of expression. They play a blend of Hard-core, Trash and feminist Anarco-punk. The lyrics of their songs suggest an immediate and absolute political commitment, not only playing live, but being socially active in numerous project involving lots of collectives. Fighting for the rights for women to dispose of their own bodies, and denouncing the violence against women within the colombian conflict are one of the main subjects raised in their new album: “A mi esta Guerra me Toca” which could be translated by “This war is affecting me”
The benefit money will go to support a collective from Mexico City called D.I.Y. or DIE, which organizes vegan vokus , workshops and promotes alternative bands, fanzines, permaculture and trying to keep open and run a social center called La curva. This collective is already active since 90’s with a different name but with the same ideas, making the Punk more political and more active beyond the music.
C U T E K O - A Brazilian Night Against Fascism
Saturday, Jun 22, 2019 | 19.00 till 3.00 | DonationOnly one thing unites us: our assholes. In Brazilian: cu. CUTEKO is more than a dirty ass party. Think of an asshole manifesto; an asshole speech; a critical beijo grego; an ass-shaking response to the global right-wing currents that are trying to delimit queer bodies in present-day political geographies from Brazil and back; CUTEKO is our Brazilian queer cu contra o fascismo. We are Brazilian migrants, cuír, trans, nonbinary, artists, choreographers, futuristic lesbians, human rights activists, whores, fast feminists, and above all, Marielles. We reject colonial views of our nudity and sexuality. We are not your cheap carnival—but on our own terms, we are proudly cheap. We won’t stay silent in the face of Bolsonaro’s fascism in Brazil. We won’t stay silent in the face of any fascism at all. But we don’t speak ‘weapons’. We talk pajubá! With art, love, dance, friendship and our assholes.
Hereby we invite you to CUTEKO: an evening of Brazilian queer feminist performances and juicy DJ sets! For that, our incredible Vita Evangelista and Mavi Veloso are curating a bold performance program; our Brazilian DJ Kupa Lua lives in Berlin and is coming to Amsterdam to get us soaked (obrigade, Kupa! You are amazing!); we are equally excited to welcome DJ Hajar into the família! And finally: we are stoked to announce that the São Paulo based LGBTQI+ collective Chernobyl is joining us !!! It’s going to be summer and we want to see skin, bikinis, glitter, colors, beach towels, and anything that makes you feel hot.
19h – 20h WOMXN THAT COULDN’T FINISH THEIR WORKS, an action by We Fuck Patriarchy and Racism Collective. Please note: the performance will take place at Dam. We’ll walk to Vrankrijk together for an open conversation after.
21h performance by Fernando Belfiore
22h – 03h DJ Hajar – DJ Kupalua – Chernobyl
The event will be documented by Thiemi Higashi. If you don’t want to be photographed, please let her know in advance.

Wednesday, Jun 26, 2019 | 21:30 till 1.00 | DonationIntroducing a new comedy night in Amsterdam inspired by the best practices of Cunnilingus [kuhn-l-ing-guh s]. For decades, the phrase Cunnilingus has simply related the art of performing oral sex on a woman. However in 2019, Cunnilinguist expert, Mikaela Burch used the art to craft the perfect stand-up comedy show.
I. The Warm-up
Before getting started, a proper warm-up is needed. Time will be taken to make the audience feel welcomed, relaxed and excited for what we have in store for them. Be alarmed, there will be plenty of foreplay.
II. She Comes First
Different strokes for different folks. Our expertise in taking cues from the audience will ensure a great evening but if this fails, don’t worry we are excellent communicators. Seriously, our crowd work is phenomenal. It’s all about you boo.
III. The Big O
An orgasmic burst of laughter from each and every one of you is guaranteed.
Once you get going we won’t stop. You will be pleased.
