Dear Diaries - From Afghanistan

Open: 17:00 - 19:00
Tickets: € 0

Join us for an event presented by three students from Afghanistan. Their Dear Diaries project is a space for them to share the personal experiences, realities, and stories behind their everyday lives since 2021, with the state of education for women at the heart of their project. They will join us online live from Kabul and their readings will be followed by a Q&A session during which you can ask them any questions you may have about Afghanistan and their lives, and share solidarity. 

Join us in person, in Amsterdam 

NieuwLand is wheelchair accessible but the toilets are not. The nearest public spaces with larger toilets are Wereld Museum Amsterdam (open Tuesday-Saturday 10-17) and hotel The Manor (open 24/7). 

Entrance is free but there will be a donation jar (cash or pin). Please think about donating something if you are able - a place like NieuwLand can only exist through the contributions of volunteers and friends, who know of the importance of places like this, which exist as an alternative to a capitalist economy, an individualistic society and a gentrifying neighbourhood.
