Buildup starts at 19:00. We start playing at 20:00.  
All EECtronic experiments are welcome, everyone gets 10 minutes to play.

This is the place to be if have been planning to try out your looper pedal to make clever poetry , wanted to use your synthesiser for a crowd, like to make some harsh noise walls, want to live code visuals on your laptop or are a DIY instrument enthusiast.. Go wild.

We have DI’s, a projector with an HDMI cable, tables to put your gear on, microphone stands, microphones lights and a PA system .  
Our assumption is that everyone has a single mono or stereo output.  
Let us know if you need more than that hour to setup (this includes the line check), or if you have some unusual outputs. -> eectronicopenstage at acu dot nl.

To the guitarist: This is a night to be experimental with your guitar and mangle the sound beyond any form of recognition.  
If you want to try out your new shredding solo the the international open stage might be more suited, and the Flying carpets is perfect for those who want to jam.

Entrance: Free.

Taste Before You Waste

Pasthéi! is a radical film club, active most Sundays in ACU. We’re not a cinema, but a group of friendly folks who like to watch weird films together and chat about them at the bar.

Our main method of communication is the Pasthéi newsletter, in which upcoming screenings are announced.

The Int’l Open Stage

Learning the art of Drag is an amazing journey in one’s life, but the threshold to start is often quite high! Queer Arcana Homebase offers the perfect place to start experimenting.

Under the guidance of our wildly talented coordinators, you will learn basic and advanced make up techniques. Play around with gender and expression as you transform into different versions of yourself!

This is a biweekly workshop! Feel free to return as many times as you want! There is always something new to learn!

We provide everything you need to get going. We supply make-up, mirrors, and lights. This is an entry level workshop, so no experience required!

Sign-up is required: https://queerarcana.com/makeupworkshops/

Queer Arcana

The Barricade is a volunteer-run public library and cooking crew with a focus on anarchism, anti food waste and leftist politics.

In our permanent collection, we have a variety of materials (books, journals, zines) on feminism, Marxism, decolonialism, environmentalism, veganism, squatting and DIY culture, including classic and contemporary texts in both English and Dutch. Membership and borrowing books is free.

Every Sunday evening we prepare a free meal that can be enjoyed in the ACU bar. Perfectly ripe and beautiful vegetables and fruits are coming from the dumpsters of Utrecht. Donations will be used for the kitchen or other political goals.
