Weaving resistance

Workshops, discussions & talks towards a society based on freedom and solidarity

Amsterdam

1 & 2 March 2025

The yearly 2.Dh5 festival returns to Ru Paré in Amsterdam for its nineteenth edition from March 1st and 2nd 2025.

Now more than ever, we need community, support, and mutual aid as much as ever before. Let us bring together the threads of our hope, knowledge, and skills, to weave a resilient resistance against the powers that seek to dismantle our communities and repress our struggles.

Practical information

Volunteers

The festival runs off of volunteer labour, a barebones budget, and an abiding communal desire for non-professional, autonomous and extra-institutional political space grounded in our local conditions and struggles. Find any affinity in these commitments?

Stands

We have an info market with more than twenty stands. Find out who’s coming here.

Sleeping space

There are (free) sleeping places at 2.Dh5 for Friday night, and Saturday night. Below, you can reserve sleeping places for yourself, or yourself and a group.

You’ll be sleeping on the floor in a warm space, so make sure to bring at least a mat and sleeping bag.
