The Human Experience: The People Who Represent Us

WHEN | February 2, 2023
TIME | 18:00 - 19:30
WHERE | Zoku Amsterdam

Together with Vayne Entertainment, we’re launching our new speaking series: The Human Experience. Featuring local residents who contribute to society in a variety of meaningful ways, this series aims to let us meet, think, and come together to talk about our collective human experience and what brings us together.

Meet activist Jorian van Schagen

For our first edition, we’re inviting politician and LGBTQIA+ activist Jorian van Schagen. Jorian has been active in politics for over a decade. During the last elections, he was the driving force behind the “Pride Agenda,” which contains a variety of much needed LGBTQIA+ proposals to make Amsterdam more queer inclusive.

This session will be hosted by artist and Creative Director at Vayne Entertainment, Kevin de Wit. During this evening, you’ll learn about Jorian and his role, have the opportunity to ask him questions, and mingle with a well-rounded group of likeminded people!
