Schijnheilig is a nomadic collective dedicated to claiming neglected spaces and transforming them into creative, freely accessible and non-commercial places for people to meet. Our activities include visual arts, music, theater, poetry, lectures as well as everything that emerges within and around such creative practices.
In January 2010 Schijnheilig squatted a former school building at the Passeerdersgracht 23BG, in the heart of the Amsterdam ‘entertainment area’. The renovated space we have reclaimed is equipped with a stage room, an exhibition space and a debate/cinema hall. Meanwhile, the building has become a buzzing meeting place for artistic, scientific and politically engaged people.
Activities in Schijnheilig are publicly accessible and free of charge, as it operates on a non-commercial basis.
