Chosen Family

The people you find on dancefloors, in green rooms, in group chats at 4am. We're an Amsterdam foundation building spaces where queer, gay, trans, and gender-diverse people can find theirs.

Everything we make goes back into the work — into nights, into collectives, into the people building queer culture in this city.

What we do

KNIT

A club night for gay, bi, and trans men. Loud, sweaty, unapologetic. The room we wished existed, so we made it.

KNIT COLLABS

KNIT teaming up with other collectives to throw open parties. Less curation, more crossover. Anyone is welcome.

Building new projects

Starting something — an event, a space — is mostly admin. Legal structure, ticketing, bookkeeping, insurance, equipment, staff. The boring stuff that eats the energy you wanted to spend on the thing itself.

We don't claim to have it figured out. But we've learned a few things running KNIT, and we'd rather share what we have — infrastructure, gear, and the lessons — than keep it to ourselves.

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