We The People returns with our recurring program blending poetry, spoken word, music, and (performance) art. Themed ‘The Fire Next Time’, this edition of We The People is dedicated to the different stories of resistance against systemic violence. Taking inspiration from James Baldwin’s book, using its urgency and clear-eyed critique of systemic violence to frame a space where artists address the injustices still shaping our world — from inequality, state violence, to erasure — while affirming resistance, community and truth-telling.

With performances by Femi Dawkins, Lev Avitan, Maha Eljak and Clarice Gargard, and a dj set by Mo Wrights.

About We The People

We The People is an Amsterdam based platform and community for poetry and (performance) art, since 2018. We focus on forefronting the voices of people of color, queer, and migrant peoples as the norm. Our namesake event ‘We The People’, is a recurring program blending poetry, spoken word, music, and (performance) art. So far, we’ve had the joy of hosting our curated programs and open mics in parks, bars, community spaces, national pop podiums, and even on the street.
