Moor Mother w/ Aquiles Navarro & Olof Melander + James McClure & Joao Guerra

OCCII, Thursday, June 4 at 08:30 PM GMT+2

SPACEIS THE PLACE:: “Moor Mother live at OCCII” Moor Mother w/ Aquiles Navarro & Olof Melander + James McClure / Joao Guerra Duo

Surprise gig! Moor Mother plays live at OCCII (Amsterdam), backed up by her musical soulmates Aquiles Navarro and Olof Melander! Expect the unexpected: new work, improv, and a selection from Moor Mother’s rich oeuvre.

Opening: James McClure & João Guerra

Vocalist and poet Camae Ayewa aka Moor Mother describes her music as “low fi/dark rap/blk girl blues/witch rap/coffee shop riot gurl songs/black ghost songs”. Her vast discography meanders adventurously between jazz, hip hop, and noise, with records under her own name, under the moniker 700 Bliss (with DJ Haram), or in collaborations with Irreversible Entanglements, the avant-metal band SUMAC, and many more.

“Moor Mother might be the most radical Afrofuturist artist to emerge for years” – The Wire

https://moormother.bandcamp.com/

Recently, Moor Mother has moved toward a more melodic and song-oriented approach, while still blending spoken word, experimental jazz, electronics, and radical poetry. Her album Jazz Codes (2023) draws from her poetry project and pays tribute to jazz visionaries such as Woody Shaw and Mary Lou Williams, combining layered vocals, atmospheric production, and free-form improvisation in collaboration with Swedish producer Olof Melander. On her latest full length album The Great Bailout (2024), she expands this cinematic and haunting sound into a powerful meditation on colonial history, displacement, and collective memory, moving between tenderness, noise, jazz abstraction, and poetic storytelling.

Internationally renowned trumpeter Aquiles Navarro — also her bandmate in Irreversible Entanglements and multi-faceted artist in his own right— contributed to Jazz Codes as well as Circuit City and Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes, and later collaborated with Melander on the album Tangles (2024).

DÉLAGE + JACOB DWYER + DJ STEFHANJA

OCCII, Saturday, June 6 at 08:30 PM GMT+2

Délage – Another Day Album Release Show + Opening Act: Jacob Dwyer + DJ: Stefhanja

Délage is an Amsterdam-based trio creating dark, motorik dream pop. They consist of Till Hormann on vocals and guitar, Carlijn Fransen on keys and vocals, and Marius Schwarz on bass and vocals. Their new album, Another Day (2026), follows and builds upon the dreamy sounds they’ve been developing across their two previous releases—Loverboy Beatface (2018) and Twist and Doubt (2020) on label Field Mate Records—yet it takes an existential turn in its lyricism and approach. Reflecting on isolation, loneliness, and monotony, with Another Day, Délage use the holes that appear in one’s life-fabric as a frame through which to bear witness to timeless themes like love, hierarchies, aging, precarity, and escapism.

<a href="https://delage.bandcamp.com/album/another-day">Another Day by Délage</a>

<a href="https://delage.bandcamp.com/album/another-day">Another Day by Délage</a>

Délage offer a peculiar and infectious spread of contradictions across their songs, which range from painfully sweet to joyfully sombre – using every colour of life’s emotive palette to assemble their poignant and compassionate music. Their multilingual and multidimensional songs draw from new wave and post-punk influences to build an expansive sonic world of giddy melodic pleasure with an undercurrent of sympathetic strangeness and alienation. From within the shadowy uncertainty of modern life, Délage shine a beam outwards with their melodies, their words, their songs – each is glinted with a sense of hope and potential and lights the way to somewhere new. – Aidan Wall

Masterclass: Creative Methodologies for Decolonial Futures

OT301, Sunday, May 31 at 05:30 PM GMT+2

Masterclass: Creative Methodologies for Decolonial Futures

As part of the Decolonial Futures Research Priority Area (RPA) at the University of Amsterdam, fellows Dia Barghouti and Soraya El Kahlaoui invite you to an evening of performances, presentations, and collective discussion at OT301 in Amsterdam on May 31, exploring creative methodologies in colonial contexts through the case of Palestine. Bringing together research, music, film, and performance, the event reflects on how creative practices can become tools for documenting dispossession, imagining resistance, and reclaiming collective histories.

The evening unfolds in two parts: a documentary film screening, followed by performances, research presentations, and an open discussion with the audience.

Part I — Film Screening

16:30 – 17:30 —Landless Moroccans

As part of the evening, prior to the presentations, we will be showing the documentary film Landless Moroccans, written and directed by Soraya El Kahlaoui.

Part II — Performances, Presentations & Conversation

17:30 – 17:50 — Break (transition to the performance/talks)
17:50 – 18:00 — Opening by Khadija El Mourabit
18:00 – 18:30 — Performance by Maya al-Khaldi
18:30 – 18:45 — Presentation by Soraya El Kahlaoui
18:45 – 19:00 — Presentation by Dia Barghouti
19:00 – 20:00 — Conversation with the audience

The evening will open with a live musical performance by Palestinian musician, composer, and researcher Maya al-Khaldi, whose work experiments with Palestinian musical heritage, sound archives, and lost performance traditions to imagine a decolonial future.

Soraya El Kahlaoui, researcher based in Palestine, will present her ongoing work on the narratives of dispossession between Morocco and Palestine through video testimonies and life histories, reflecting on visual storytelling as a method for amplifying marginalized voices and documenting experiences of loss, displacement, and resistance.

Palestinian playwright and researcher Dia Barghouti will then present her work on Palestinian theatre, exploring how experimentation with extinct Palestinian traditions and Sufi rituals can create new opportunities for artistic innovation and resistance to the Israeli occupation.

The event will conclude with an open discussion with the audience, creating space for collective reflection on decolonial knowledge production, artistic practice, and the politics of representation. Moderated by Khadija El Mourabit.

Phono Lake's First Night At The Lake

Phono Lake, Saturday, June 20 at 11:00 PM GMT+2

We're re-opening Phono Lake this summer for two clubnights. After a winter away and two amazing sold-out Phono Clubs keeping us going, we're finally heading back to our intimate lakeside cabin. This year we're keeping it cosy - two nights, two carefully selected lineups on June 20th and July 18th. And before summer closes, we’ll return to the island for our end-of-summer festival on September 12th. To celebrate the occasion, we're providing an upgraded soundsystem and extended opening times for some serious dancing pleasure.

On our first night, we're keeping it all things house from New York to Amsterdam with Pal Joey joining us for a groovist masterclass and a special house set by Amsterdam's Sandrien. Cape St. Francis' Lil Lawaw brings his signature blend of house and R&B to conclude the line-up for our first night at the Lake.

With a capacity of just 200, these nights will be intimate and tickets limited - grab a ticket while you can.

Pal Joey (Joseph Longo) is a Queens-born DJ, producer, remixer and label owner whose raw, sample-heavy sound helped define the underground house music of late '80s and early '90s New York. Rooted in the city's club culture - orbiting the same world as Larry Levan and the legendary Vinylmania record shop - his music fused jazz-funk samples, chopped breaks and deep house energy in a way that was more hip-hop informed and rougher-edged than almost anything coming out of Chicago or Detroit at the time. Through labels including Loop d'Loop, Cabaret and Foot Stompin', and aliases such as Soho and Earth People, he built a catalogue that sits in the space between Larry Heard, Masters at Work and Todd Terry - but with a distinctly New York street sensibility all his own.

His 1989 track Hot Music (as Soho) remains one of the defining records of the era, its loose swing and unfinished rawness influencing everything from UK acid jazz to lo-fi house decades later. Beyond the underground, Longo's reach extended to production and remix work for Deee-Lite, KRS-One and Sade - a testament to a versatility rarely matched by producers so deeply rooted in the underground. He remains a producer's producer: a cult figure whose influence quietly runs through generations of artists who value feel over polish.

Opening Refugee Welcome Week 2026

Pakhuis de Zwijger, Monday, June 8 at 06:00 PM GMT+2

Radical hope is not naive optimism, but an empowering practice. It asks us to face reality honestly, even when it is painful, while still believing that change is possible and worth working for. This opening evening of Refugee Welcome Week 2026 creates space for the truths that are too often blurred, avoided, or polished for others. Refugee status tells us where someone has been, not who they are. Facing this truth is where the possibilities begin. This evening is not about refugees. It is an evening by refugees, inspiring creators of their own destiny in a new cultural space.

The evening begins with a community dinner at 18:00. For €25,50, you are welcome to join the table for the community dinner in the Grote Zaal. Just like last year, you can buy a Solidarity Ticket along with your own, to invite a refugee to eat with you. Refugee Welcome Week will make sure someone receives the donated ticket.

After we connect and dine together, we will officially kick off this week with a coalition panel with the organisers and partners. From 20:00 onwards, artists and storytellers take the floor across three breakout spaces, inviting the audience to poetic, theatrical, zine-making and co-creation experiences. Throughout the evening, a curated visual art exhibition reminds us that displacement is not an identity. It is a circumstance.

If you only wish to join the programme from 20:00, please select a free ticket.

Transportation support is available for people living in AZCs or shelters outside of Amsterdam. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

About Refugee Welcome Week NL 2026

Refugee Welcome Week NL 2026 is a refugee-led programme bringing together 30–40 young refugees and newcomers across four Dutch cities. Over two weeks, participants take the lead as performers, curators, hosts, producers and storytellers, creating spaces of connection through art, discussion, film, music, food and community action. Refugee Welcome Week NL is part of the wider international Refugee Week movement and is organised in close partnership with Refugee Week UK. Explore the full programme at refugeewelcomeweek.nl.

More info about the exhibtion and participating artists will soon be announced.

More info about the panel and participating speakers will be announced soon.

As refugees we are often seen primarily as recipients of help, but many of us are dedicated to activism and human right protection in our destination country. What does it mean to dedicate a life of displacement to protect human rights in a new country? How can our own experience of exile help us to raise awareness about human right dismantlement happening in current times? And do we build resistance to stigma and far-right propaganda by sharing different perspectives and narratives ?

In this session we will listen to experiences of human right activists with refugee backgrounds operating in different contexts (Netherlands and South Africa) and reflect together through co-creative exercises to understand what their experience teaches us about today’s theme: What truth do we need to face to stop repeating harm?

This programme presents A Letter Full of Love to a Non-Person, a collective book project created through community writing workshops with LGBTQI+ refugees. Participants are invited to create a small zine using words, drawings, or fragments. This hands-on activity explores storytelling in an accessible and creative way.

On Anger and Fatigue is an artistic research and lecture-performance that investigates the relationship between truth-telling, exhaustion, and resistance within the contemporary European Art worlds. The work merges the aesthetics of the performative lecture with the oral tradition of storytelling, creating a hybrid form that oscillates between academic critique and poetic confession.

About the contributors

Sajad Salmanpour is an author, community builder, and the founder of Queer Work, a platform dedicated to supporting LGBTQI+ refugees in the Netherlands. His work is rooted in the belief that storytelling is a powerful act of presence a way to reclaim voice, identity, and belonging in the face of displacement. He is the initiator of the collective book project A Letter Full of Love to an Unknown Person. As an author, Sajad is interested in the intersection of memory, migration, and identity. He sees writing not only as expression, but as a form of connection between past and present, between individuals and communities, and between silence and visibility.

Alongside his creative work, he actively builds collaborations with organizations, cultural spaces, and networks across the Netherlands, contributing to initiatives such as Refugee Welcome Week. His approach bridges storytelling with social impact, creating moments where voices are not only heard, but held and recognized. At the heart of his work is a quiet but powerful intention: to create space where people can exist fully, and where their stories can live beyond them.

Elena Ponzoni is an academic researcher working from the principle of Radical Hope, which involves humility and recognition of the lessons, knowledges, and practices of communities that experience injustice. It involves learning from the ability of those who, despite oppression and structures of impossibility, find the capacity to act, care, love and challenge power.

Refugee Academy, initiated together with professor Halleh Ghorashi, has the goal of centring refugee knowledges in research and society. Now part of the Co-creation for Inclusive Knowledges Lab, Refugee Academy follows the principle of Radical Hope by creating small acts of resistance to transform academic institutions, and challenge both colonial heritages and hierarchies engrained in how we create (academic) knowledge. It means working with people with lived experiences and collective wisdom that are currently marginalised, having the courage to address power differentials, and intertwine our work, perspective and lives.

Anas Younes is a theatre practitioner, cultural researcher, and curator working across Syria and the Netherlands. His practice connects performance, participatory theatre, cultural policy, and public programming, with a focus on how art can create spaces for dialogue, collective reflection, and social imagination in contexts shaped by conflict, displacement, and migration. He has collaborated with cultural institutions, municipalities, festivals, and grassroots initiatives across Europe and the Arab region as a facilitator, lecturer, curator, and artistic programmer. In the Netherlands, he has worked with organizations such as SPOT Groningen, Vrijdag, municipalities, and newcomer centers, using theatre as a tool for participation, inclusion, and intercultural exchange.

Anas also curated public programs for Mena is Here Festival and contributed to Diwan Arts and Culture Festival in Switzerland. He is the director of Culture Tank Factory, a Syrian think-and-do tank focused on cultural rights, civic imagination, and participatory approaches to public policy. Through this work, he develops research labs, policy discussions, and community-based initiatives linking artistic practice with justice, governance, and collective futures.

Naya Aljoudi is a Syrian artist, whose poetry is a tool to combat the systemic erasure that writes many intersectional identities out of their own biographies. Their work moves through war, exile, and trauma, while returning to love and care, practices of both survival and defiance, and collective becoming. On stage, Naya offers performances that invite audiences to question language as a technology of resistance against censorship and harm, and whether it can serve as a tool for collective liberation.

Mohammed Badran is a Palestinian-Syrian social designer, anthropologist, and community organizer based in Amsterdam. He is the co-founder of Syrian Volunteers Netherlands , where he develops initiatives that connect diaspora expertise, refugee-led advocacy, and cultural programming.

Rula Asad is a feminist journalist, researcher, and facilitator committed to transforming media through feminist values and solidarity. As co-founder and former Executive Director of the Syrian Female Journalists Network (SFJN), she confronted patriarchal narratives and created spaces for Syrian women journalists to claim power in war, post-war, and exile.

Her work bridges journalism, activim, gender studies, and movement-led organizing, shaped by experiences from Damascus to Amsterdam. Rooted in the stance that knowledge and storytelling are political, she mobilizes them as tools to resist erasure, amplify unheard voices, and imagine liberation.

Rula embodies collaboration beyond borders, weaving feminist narratives that challenge authoritarianism and nurture collective resilience. With her cat Mimi, she moves between the Netherlands, Jordan, and Syria.

AmsFF x Uitkijk

De Uitkijk, Friday, May 29 at 06:30 PM GMT+2

Every year, a group of passionate student volunteers organize and produce the Amsterdam Student Film Festival (AmsFF) to provide visibility for aspiring artists and, in the process, foster a community of young people across Amsterdam who are passionate about film.

AmsFF began in 2022 when six Amsterdam University College students recognized an absence of platforms for student work and decided to create one from the ground up, with virtually no funding or formal structure. Now, three years later, the festival is independent from academic institutions and is composed of an even larger team of volunteers from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds, all excited to create the most ambitious edition of AmsFF yet.

The festival will take place May 29th to 31st across five independent Amsterdam venues: FC Hyena, De Uitkijk, Het Documentaire Paviljoen, LAB111 and Droog. As in previous years, a jury of diverse film industry professionals will work to screen the short films and provide feedback for the filmmakers. Audience members will also be able to interact with the filmmakers at select screenings.

Welcome to the opening Night of Amsterdam Student Film Festival 2026!!

Farewell to The Moving Clocks
The dismantlement of the empty homogenous time gives way to the proliferation of multiple temporalities — a cinema that refuses to conform and converge. Eight films present different strategies of intervening the dominant mode of time, be it absurdist theatricality, formalistic experimentation, essayistic narration, or DIY intermedial montage. At the edge of form and intelligibility burst a shock to thought, to bid Farewell to The Moving Clocks and look forward to a world beyond this time.

Program (68 min):
● Muñecas Sinfonola, Directed by Lucie Lelièvre "7:06

Rapid Eye Movement (R.E.M.)

OT301, Thursday, June 11 at 07:30 PM GMT+2

Rapid eye movement happens when you’re asleep, but not this specific night. 4 Electronic acts are presenting their fast-paced, mind-blowing , fragmented music. From IDM to drum&bass to techno. Not only are they here to make your eyes move, but hopefully the rest of the body naturally moves along!

Opening time
Doors 19:30 hrs
Start of event 20:00 hrs

Artists:
Finn Clarke is an electronic music producer based in Rotterdam. From his studio he produces experimental electronic music influenced by IDM and pop. His work is characterized by a combination of minimal, dry sound design, organic field recordings, glitch-like rhythms, and vocals that often add a pop-oriented accessibility to otherwise abstract productions. In his work, he draws inspiration from other producers such as Flume, EDEN, Villager, and Blawan.
Insta
Filler Episode is a new project by Vince Railaf Zuñiga. (frogs. , Black Baby Tiger).
Vince always had the weirdest and outspoken dreams, as if they were trying to tell her something. She decided to translate these into sound and the silence turned into noise. This new project fills empty spaces with drum breaks, melodic industrial soundscapes and harmonious vocals, taking you by the hand into a beautiful nightmare.
Insta
MLHA is a producer and vocalist who creates dreamy and dance-driven worlds. Melancholic sounds en melodies build a space that is introspective and inviting at the same time. MLHA means ‘fog’ in Czech and with ambient textures and layered drops she draws you into her own world of sound.

TRIFEKT IS A UTRECHT-BASED ELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCER SPECIALIZING IN CINEMATIC DRUM & BASS. HIS SOUND BLENDS DRAMATIC, FILM INSPIRED ELEMENTS WITH HEAVY BASSLINES AND FAST DRUMS TO CREATE AN EMOTIONALLY INTENSE EXPERIENCE. MERGING OPPOSITES AND FINDING BALANCE BETWEEN EMOTIONS IS THE DRIVING FORCE OF HIS CREATIVITY. HE BELIEVES SOME FEELINGS IN MUSIC REQUIRE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF AGGRESSION TO BE FULLY EXPRESSED. TRIFEKT BRINGS THAT ENERGY TO THE DANCEFLOOR, TAKING HIS AUDIENCE ON A CINEMATIC JOURNEY.

MOVEMENT AS CINEMA Vol. 1

OT301, Saturday, May 30 at 05:45 PM GMT+2

Movement as Cinema is the first edition of a new recurring screening series dedicated to dance, performance, and experimental moving-image practices.

Bringing together four films by three female filmmakers and choreographers, the programme explores movement as a cinematic language capable of communicating beyond words. Opening with a live improvised performance by Daria Titova, the evening unfolds as a sensory journey through distinct emotional and cinematic worlds.

Curated by Marta Lillioja.

PROGRAMME

Through the roots (2024, 15 min) — Maria Ponomariova & Daria Titova A short dance film directed by Maria Ponomariova, with choreography and performance by Daria Titova. An ode to Daria's grandfather and the rural Russian landscape he cherished — translated into movement, embodying family heritage and the quiet strength of the places that shape us.

THE VOID (2026, 7 min) — Linde Wagemakers An autobiographical dance film navigating loneliness, emotional isolation, and the search for connection. Moving through abandoned spaces that mirror her inner emptiness, protagonist Luna searches for something to fill the void she carries within herself. Tracing a fragile journey from inner emptiness toward self-connection and acceptance, The Void becomes a portrait not only of a person, but of an experience.

OH MY (2026, 4 min) — Linde Wagemakers A group of dancers spreads through the streets of Amsterdam, transforming the city into their playground. What begins as a playful disruption grows into an infectious, collective movement in which bodies find, challenge, and strengthen one another. In a flirtatious interplay between chaos and connection, a living protest emerges. Oh My is a celebration of freedom, presence, and the power of coming together.

SOLUS REX (2024, 7 min) — Marta Lillioja Solus Rex — the "Lonely King" — awakens as the last man on Earth, where the key to immortality lies in ancient rituals of becoming one with the Snake. Drawing on myths of transformation that live deep in human memory, the film guides us into the boundless subconscious — a journey into raw spirit, where movement and sonic texture merge into a meditation on instinct, identity, and transcendence.

The evening concludes with an informal gathering and conversation moderated by Jake Zuidveen.

Doors & bar: 17:45 Programme starts: 18:30 Tickets: €8 presale / €10 door

DÉLAGE + JACOB DWYER + DJ STEFHANJA

OCCII, Saturday, June 6 at 08:30 PM GMT+2

Délage – Another Day Album Release Show + Opening Act: Jacob Dwyer + DJ: Stefhanja

Délage is an Amsterdam-based trio creating dark, motorik dream pop. They consist of Till Hormann on vocals and guitar, Carlijn Fransen on keys and vocals, and Marius Schwarz on bass and vocals. Their new album, Another Day (2026), follows and builds upon the dreamy sounds they’ve been developing across their two previous releases—Loverboy Beatface (2018) and Twist and Doubt (2020) on label Field Mate Records—yet it takes an existential turn in its lyricism and approach. Reflecting on isolation, loneliness, and monotony, with Another Day, Délage use the holes that appear in one’s life-fabric as a frame through which to bear witness to timeless themes like love, hierarchies, aging, precarity, and escapism.

<a href="https://delage.bandcamp.com/album/another-day">Another Day by Délage</a>

<a href="https://delage.bandcamp.com/album/another-day">Another Day by Délage</a>

Délage offer a peculiar and infectious spread of contradictions across their songs, which range from painfully sweet to joyfully sombre – using every colour of life’s emotive palette to assemble their poignant and compassionate music. Their multilingual and multidimensional songs draw from new wave and post-punk influences to build an expansive sonic world of giddy melodic pleasure with an undercurrent of sympathetic strangeness and alienation. From within the shadowy uncertainty of modern life, Délage shine a beam outwards with their melodies, their words, their songs – each is glinted with a sense of hope and potential and lights the way to somewhere new. – Aidan Wall

EVENING PROGRAMME

KELDER

KELDER is an Amsterdam music collective combining Dutch-language rock, hiphop and pop into an energetic, explosive live experience. What started in a basement beneath the streets of Amsterdam with five friends and loud amplifiers has grown into a band performing on festival and club stages.

The group – Kurt, Matthijs, Matteo, Joris and Boudewijn – creates a unique mix of punkrock, hiphop and pop: raw, direct and catchy, moving between big questions and small observations with a playful twist.

Live, KELDER is known for shows where the audience becomes part of the chaos: singing, jumping and sweating together, from small clubs to venues like Paradiso and TivoliVredenburg.

JULIA MANDOKI

Julia Mandoki is a versatile artist blending playful alt-pop with dreamy psychedelic folk. Her music feels intuitive, warm and independent, with a strong DIY spirit as she writes and records everything herself. After years of touring with artists like Albert Hammond and Richard Bona, she now lives in Amsterdam, working in abortion care by day and creating music by night.

Her debut album The Dark Side of the Womb (28 November 2025) takes listeners on a colourful, imaginative journey through identity, mental health and imagination. Live, she delivers a warm, slightly psychedelic festival set full of surprising turns and dreamy melodies.
