DJ Lynnee Denise
In this special evening programme, DJ Lynnee Denise takes us on an auditive journey through the African diaspora, weaving sound clips, music and stories into a living archive. An interdisciplinary artist and founder of DJ Scholarship, Lynnee uses music and sound to tell stories of resistance and survival within the Black queer community.

She connects Baldwin's legacy to underground club movements and sound system culture and explores the role music played in Baldwin's quest for freedom and connection. Her programme invites you to experience the power of music as a bridge to history and identity.
Radical Space in The Bookshop
With the arrival of The Bookshop, ITA introduces Radical Space: an initiative that reclaims theatre as a place for solidarity, empathy and artistic innovation. In this space on Leidseplein, we will give a stage to diverse voices and perspectives, exploring the complex legacy of (our) theatre and its social impact.
Following successful programmes such as Keti Koti 2024, Radical Space focuses on pressing social issues such as colonialism, class inequality, sexism and transphobia. Here, together with artists, makers and thinkers, we develop interdisciplinary projects that provide space for critical artistic commentary.
