Waterworks: stories on queer grief. ~ How do we want to be held in our queer grief?
~ How can we support one another in these impossible times?
~ Workshop + shared vegan/gf Ethiopian dinner (all together 15,- supported places available) On the 28th of June, remembrance day of the Stonewall Riots in New York City (1969), join us at Stichting Tugela85 for an evening filled with heartfelt narratives and shared experiences. This event is a safe space for the queer community to explore the complexities of grief and loss. Through storytelling and conversation, we aim to foster connection and healing among individuals who have faced unique challenges. Join us for an evening of reflection and support as we navigate the waters of grief together.
The evening will be hosted and held by Rajni Shah & Sanne Pols:
~ Rajni Shah (they, them) is a writer, a researcher, and a performance maker. They identify as queer, quiet, trans non-binary, and a feminist killjoy. In 2021, they published Experiments in Listening, a book which also exists as a series of five print-at-home zines. Rajni works one day a week as a researcher and Head Heart of the THIRD programme at the Academy for Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam. They think and write about listening and gathering as creative and political acts, and how listening relates to embodied practices of grief. Rajni loves to learn about unlearning, to write songs, and to practise collective healing.
~Professional storyteller and public speaker Sanne Pols is the proud and founding mother of LGBTOUR_Amsterdam: a queer walk through the pink and historic heart of her beloved city of Amsterdam; sharing LGBTQI+ stories and experiences with queers and allies from all over the world. In addition, Sanne Pols is a well-experienced expert on training D & I in the workplace, schools, and sports clubs, organising Pride boats, and winning LGBTQIA+ Awards with her workshops on diversity.
The birth of Waterworks (see 2nd picture)
In 2023, Sanne lost her lover and partner, Afina. And with that queer grief came into her life like a whirlwind. Together with the need for communal support. Waterworks was born from necessity and had its first get-together in September 2023.
Hope to see you there!
All the love, Rajni & Sanne.

Boat tour

Night view

Buy a cup of coffee or tea before boarding and enjoy your leisure time.
Feel the customs and customs of Amsterdam on the water, see historical relics, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beam bridge, and listen to the past and present.
Before boarding, I thought what was there to see in Amsterdam. After the boat started: this experience was still good, and I could calm down and savor life.
The Prince&#39;s Canal, Anne&#39;s House, West Church, &quot;Dentures of Amsterdam&quot;, whether serious, deep, or funny, RMB 127 is still worth it.

This boat is relatively basic and cost-effective; you can also try a more expensive boat full of colorful flower decorations, take pictures, and the most important thing is that there are wine waiters on the boat, and you can order wine/drinks.

Good to see what it&rsquo;s like, also feels kinda perverse goggling at people trying to make a living butttt idk

Anne Frank House

Historic buildings

Had amazing time knowing the house and the writings. Just not encouraging elderly people with limited mobility to come due to climbing stairs is not easy.
