Whooo! 24H West on May 25: Save The Date!! ✔️🗓️✨💗🪇 more than 50 fantastic locations open their doors and show and let you feel what the district of Amsterdam West has to offer for special, creative, social, and unique places!! And so is MidWest Amsterdam: a place where people feel at home, where there is space and a place where ideas are being created, where people meet, where people come together, where good food is being shared, where stories are being shared, where friendships start, where memories are being made, and life is being lived 🏡
We are happy and super duper excited to welcome you together with the team at the FestivalHart on May 25!!
Together with the Turning Tables cooking team that exists out of the most warm-hearted and talented chefs, we will provide you with the most yummy dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (or all!). Plus have a look at the green market in the garden where you can buy plants biological and non-toxic plants for on your balcony or your terrace; have a peak let yourself wander through the end photo exhibition that Stichting De Vrolijkheid has composed together with the residents of the ship after their photo course, or/and have a painting workshop with the beautiful Fatima from Studio Marsam and discover your hidden talent(s) while creating something together.
24H West! A wonderful day, a wonderful opportunity to bring different worlds together, to experience, to feel, to share, to create, to celebrate! To celebrate the richness of diversity, of our differences, and similarities!
Turning Tables is an initiative that wants to see the world connect, that wants to see the world come together. Turning Tables is an initiative, an answer, a response to the growing distance. Together with residents from the asylum center, the GALAXY, in Amsterdam, we started a newsletter and will start hosting community events as a response to the growing distance.
Turning Tables is an invitation for you to take a seat at the table: there where stories are being shared, unfolded, and discovered. There where communities are being formed. Build. Created.
Do you want to join the table? Share a delicious meal? Read inspiring stories? Get to know the other? Do you want to be updated for the upcoming community events?
In the current society, where paid labor, over hours, a fast pace, and productivity are being overvalued, we tend to forget that slowing down, connecting, talking, and taking time for oneself, for the other, is where one finds “its true destiny”.
In a time when the other is put down as scary, as brutal, the unknown is not worth looking into, we stay stagnant and comfortable in our bubble and polarize. We disconnect. We forget.In a time when we are death scared of change, when we hold on to what we know, we vanish. We obliterate. We forget not only the other but also ourselves. Forgetting also that we find ourselves in the other. We are the other. We forget the faces, the names, and the stories behind the other. Being left with just, the other.
We forget that we grow, that we get to know, ourselves and the other, there in what we left behind in the rush of life, we forget that there is where we grow, and that is where we get to know ourselves and one other, there in what we run away from the first, there where we find connection, there in (building) community.
The Turning Tables Community Cooking Club will be more than happy to be meeting, welcoming and hosting you!
The meal and experience are provided on a donation basis: you pay at the end what you can, what you feel like :)
The community dinners are realised with the help of donations: with all the donations we will be able to let this project grow and host more of these beautiful community events!
Let's come together! We are excited to see you!
