The Living Room is an intersectional, community-driven, collaborative space for queer, feminist, refugee, and artist collectives in Haarlem that facilitates capacity-building among marginalized communities through:
As an Artivist library, the Living Room is a hub of both community and knowledge. Visitors can access hundreds of books, zines, and PDFs on social change, organizing, and transformative futures. The Living Room is a place to put these ideas to practice, where community comes together to create art, host events, and take action.
In partnership with MeeMaak Podium, the Living Room will host events and presentations related to artivism, queer voices in cinema, cultural fusion, and nightlife.

Test Period
We are launching the Living Room for a test period this season, from 14 October to 27 November. During this time, we plan to involve the community in developing the physical space and ongoing activities, including open hours. The Living Room will officially launch following Nieuwe Vide’s winter recess.
