On May 5, people throughout the Netherlands will gather on squares, bridges and sidewalks for a Liberation Meal (Bevrijdingsmaaltijd). In this tradition, NDSM together with Treehouse are shaping The Great Cultural NDSM Liberation Meal this year, a celebration full of cultural programming and food.
Amsterdammers, local residents and Northerners are invited to share experiences about (un)freedom together at long tables while eating and flying kites. Blowing along with the wind that always seems to blow a little harder on NDSM; Maurice Scheltens and Bert Jan Pot, founders of the Kite Club, will share the free feeling of kite flying. During and after dinner, there are musical performances by, among others, local talents from Treehouse NDSM, who all sing about freedom in their own way.

MICHIEL J. RIS
Michiel J. Ris is a poet and amateur actor. In his autofictional poems he explores the relationship between two brothers: one a poet, the other a marine. The brothers shared one and the same childhood, but now inhabit two completely different worlds. However, the distance between them is effortlessly bridged by their shared love of stories. But as the broadcast draws nearer, I also realize that his little brother will take his stories with him and that he can be left without both.
Michiel J. Ris' debut collection Broersgedicht will be published in the spring of 2024 by Uitgeverij HetMoet.
