🌼 COMING SOON: DOWNLOAD THE MAP & PROGRAM 🌼

On Friday, 27 November, Focus Filmtheater opens its doors for the fifth edition of the Verre Binding Culture festival. Let’s discover what connects us. Will you join us?

Feeling what connects us

Over the past two years, residents of asylum seeker centres in Arnhem and local artists have come together. They’ve listened to music, selected films and created art. In doing so, they’ve made a statement. They’ve moved beyond the usual talk-show debates and created new memories together. Along the way, they discovered what connects them. Now it’s time to share that feeling with everyone!

What to expect

Listen to personal stories, dance together to the music, sample dishes from different cuisines and take part in a variety of workshops. There’s also a continuous programme for children, plus an ice-skating rink!

Featuring performances, workshops and exhibitions by, among others: Omar Ka & Fula Band, Khattar Shaheen, Veronique Efomi, Jesse Laport, Aiman Hassani, Dansplaats Arnhem, Changing Stories and De Luistersalon. Will we see you there?

Come and discover what brings us together. Be inspired by experiencing things side by side. And above all, come and feel what connects us.
