Around the corner on the Overtoom 5 walking minutes away, there is OT301. This underground cultural hub has been squatted (1999) and bought (2006) by a diverse, international community that is united in an association called EHBK. It runs this alternative, not-for-profit platform as a collective, in which housing, workspaces and public functi ons are combined to contribute to the arts, politics and subculture.
The nightly gigs are just one part of OT301’s charm. Daytime is taken up by community classes and art workshops, and there’s a table tennis bar in the back room (plus a radio station in the basement).
Check out their website for latest activities, ot301.nl
