Interactive Workshop with Giulio Beja & Veronica Motta and Listening Session with Mark Knekelhuis

Thu 22 · 18:00 · café40 · Amsterdam
“What if creating a more accessible, safer, and inclusive nightlife isn’t about adding more rules — but about changing how we show up in the space?" Giulio Beja and Veronica Motta are ’Spazi Sensibili’ , a project that explores accessibility, safety, and inclusivity within club and night culture as practices of collective care. Together, we will question who gets to feel safe, visible, heard, and free on the dancefloor — and who is still being excluded. Through hands-on exercises, collective mapping, real-life nightlife scenarios, and open discussion, we will explore how discrimination and exclusion can show up in night spaces, while reflecting on our own experiences, perspectives, and capacity to intervene. Rather than offering fixed solutions or more rules, we focus on building awareness, confidence, and practical tools for collective responsibility and action: How do we notice? How do we respond? How do we look after each other? An invitation to move beyond awareness — to unlearn, challenge, experiment, and co-create nightlife where difference is actively welcomed, protected, and celebrated.” The session will be accompanied by a listening session with Mark Knekelhuis, creating space to connect the themes explored with music, sound, and collective experience. Entry is free until full capacity. For this edition of ADE, café40 welcomes (dis)comfort : a three-day programme rooted in the belief that music can, and should, create collective spaces for awareness, dialogue, and reflection. Born from a desire to reconnect with ourselves and those around us, the programme invites audiences to slow down, listen deeply, and make space for meaningful exchange. Throughout the programme, Sasha Todorovska and Virginia Gianni will present their artworks in the space. Discover the full programme at Café40 here .
