Artivist Library: the Living Room

ned / eng

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:

  • community outreach & social events
  • knowledge-sharing and skill development
  • activist organizing and resources

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.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM
