Monthly agenda
June events at the Amsterdam Museum
Every month, the Amsterdam Museum organizes engaging events such as special tours, lectures, symposia, performances and evening openings. For these public programs we collaborate with a diverse group of partners to provide a platform to the city's many communities.
Queer Gaze Tour met Sharan Bala (Dutch-speaking)
28 juli, 11.30 - 12.30 uur, Amsterdam Museum aan de Amstel, gratis bij geldig entreebewijs
Tijdens de Queer Gaze tour op zondag 28 juli van 11:30 tot 12:30 neemt gastrondleider Sharan Bala je mee door de vaste collectie van het Amsterdam Museum.
Kunstenaar Sharan Bala (zij/hen) houdt zich in haar werk bezig met de medische instituties die haar gezonde intersekse lichaam hebben gemedicaliseerd. Door haar ervaring te gebruiken in haar multimediale performatieve installaties en sculpturen stelt ze vragen over machtsstructuren, de medische blik en de medische, politieke en sociale opvattingen over sekse.
Sharan is intersekse activist, zo gaf ze onder andere een speech op de Dam tijdens de Pride Walk in Amsterdam en heeft ze regelmatige publieke optredens. Haar doel is om meer aandacht te generen voor de rechten van intersekse mensen en ze wil graag ruimte creëren voor andere intersekse mensen binnen onze maatschappij.

Grand March Tour by Amber Vineyard
2 August, 12.00pm - 1.30pm, The Willet-Holthuysen House
On August 2nd, September 8th and October 6th join a unique tour through the exhibition Grand March: A Historic House through a Ballroom Lens, guided by Amber Vineyard, founder of House of Vineyard. Discover the Willet-Holthuysen House on the Herengracht through the lens of ballroom culture. Amber shares insights on powerful themes of resistance, community, self-expression and the evolution of ballroom since the 1970s. This exclusive experience offers a fresh perspective on history and art.
Amber Vineyard is the 'mother' of the dynamic and internationally recognized House of Vineyard. House of Vineyard was founded 10 years ago and grew into more than a group that organizes or participates in balls: it is a powerful movement that introduced ballroom culture in the Netherlands and continues to enrich it.
