About our event partners
TheShadow is an Amsterdam-based organization that is all about sharing love, identity and culture. We manage this by organizing events, producing performances, hosting workshops, creating artistic projects and building a strong community.
One of our projects is The Arabian Flavour - a set of events, dance-collective and band with an Arabic touch. The monthly Arabian Flavour Night creates a stage to fresh faces from all over the world, while sharing the Arabic culture. Ten editions throughout the year are concluded into a big summer celebration: Arabian Flavour Festival. Besides that, the dance collective and band share the Arabian Flavour with the outside world. They visit external events with workshops and performances.
TheShadow also organizes projects that shed light on other (sub)cultures, like Breaking, Funk, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Eritrean music and many other styles. We pride ourselves on working with creatives that didn’t get all the chances they deserve (yet) - hidden talent, self-taught artists and newcomers. Diversity and inclusion are two of our leading goals: We do not only carefully select the performers on stage, but also open up to everyone in the audience through interaction.
Break your bubble, and get to know more people, artforms and cultures!
