On Saturday, April 19, Feniks, Emancipatie Expertise Centrum opens its doors for two meaningful sessions that explore how we can create safer, more inclusive spaces—both in music and in everyday life.
The day begins at 12:00 with a Workshop Bystander Intervention, where you'll learn how to recognize and respond to inappropriate or harmful behavior. Through a crash course on gender norms and practical intervention strategies, Feniks offers tools to help you make a difference when it matters most.

Later, at 14:00, join us for Becoming who you are in metal: Creating a safe space together. Musician Kim Hoorweg (V***A, Vulvaverse) shares Kim's journey from jazz to metal, and the search for authenticity and freedom of expression along the way. In conversation with Veerle Slegers (Feniks), this session invites reflection on how we—as individuals and as a community—can support one another in being fully ourselves.
Both sessions take place at Feniks, NS-Plein 17, Tilburg.
