Chosen Family

Chosen Family is an Amsterdam foundation building spaces for queer, gay, trans, and gender-diverse people.

We don't have it all figured out, but what works, we share - We show up for our community and lift each other up.

Building new projects

Part of why we exist is to help others start their own things: an event, a space, something else entirely.

Your identity, your values, your community stay yours. Chosen Family is the foundation underneath; what you build on top is yours.

Projects

A cultural program of queer music, art, and conversation — from dancefloors to talks, workshops, and everything in between.

KNIT

Loud, sweaty, unapologetic. Curated and community-led hedonistic event series with safety and friendliness as a foundation. The room we wished existed, so we made it.

TLKS

Talks, workshops, and panels: the daylight side of the program. Where the community learns, argues, and shares what it knows.

KNIT with Friends

KNIT teaming up with other collectives to throw open events. More crossover. Anyone is welcome.

The foundation

Chosen Family Stichting is a registered Dutch foundation, based in Amsterdam. We exist to create spaces for queer, gay, trans, and gender-diverse people, and to support the projects and people that build culture around them.

What we make goes back into the work.
