Hoe vrij zijn we écht in hoe we naar ons lichaam kijken? En wie bepaalt eigenlijk wat ‘mooi’ is? Tijdens deze interactieve sessie duiken we in de invloed van schoonheidsidealen op ons dagelijks leven en mentale gezondheid. We onderzoeken de dunne lijn tussen sociale druk en zelfexpressie: is bezig zijn met je uiterlijk een vorm van aanpassing, of juist een manier om kracht en identiteit uit te drukken?

Onder begeleiding van ga je zelf aan de slag met klei en creëer je jouw eigen beeld van het ‘ideale’ lichaam. Wat je maakt, zegt vaak meer dan woorden en vormt de basis voor een open en eerlijke dialoog. Verwacht een avond waarin creativiteit en gesprek samenkomen. Reflectief, confronterend en verbindend, met ruimte voor real talk.

Inloop 18:30

We’re back!

You know the feeling. Stares. Comments. That uncomfortable feeling on the street. Street harassment is no exception, it is part of daily life in Rotterdam, yet it is still too often ignored or normalized. Join Young Feminist Roffa, as part of the Rotterdam Week Against Sexual Street Harassment, for an evening of conversation, reflection, and action. During Taking Back the Streets 2026, we go beyond awareness. Where is your limit? Why don’t bystanders intervene? And what does it take to actually do something?

Through a spoken word performance, a panel discussion with experts and people with lived experience, and interactive moments, we bring together different perspectives. From everyday situations to broader systems. Stay afterwards to chat, share experiences, and meet new people, with music, drinks, and space for connection.
