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.
How to get to Tolhuistuin
Tolhuistuin (formerly Paradiso Noord) is located at IJpromenade 2 in Amsterdam North. A free ferry runs from Amsterdam Central Station to Buiksloterweg. From there, turn left and you’ll walk straight into Tolhuistuin. For club nights, the rear entrance (Buiksloterweg 5C) is used. This entrance can be reached via Overhoeksplein
Restaurant
Tolhuistuin also has a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal before the show. We recommend making a reservation in advance via this website.
