A cultural movement

In the monumental venue of Zonnehuis in Amsterdam, We The People celebrates an era that has witnessed many socio-political and cultural movements across the globe: the '70s. Movements that challenged existing systems, shook the cultural landscape and inspired pride in our different identities. Many within We The People’s community still build on these movements today, be that through decolonization, black pride or sexual liberation, just to name a few. Even spoken word poetry builds on the legacy of black artists from this very era, who reflected their realities in this art form. As a platform that was created to give platform to the voices of these movements especially, We The People pays homage to this influential era with a head-nod to SoulTrain, an iconic television show started in 1970, created for free and prideful expression of African American cultures through dance, music and fashion.
