The Ancient Greeks had the Agora and the Romans the Forum. Here in Amsterdam we have the Rode Hoed that stands in a 400 year old tradition of facilitating an influx of idea’s. Rode Hoed is a keen watcher and booster of societal debates and also a producer of debates, symposia, literary and even musical gatherings. In fact, our Oosterhuiszaal resonates a beautiful acoustic sound. We’ve become famous in the Netherlands for our cultural programming and therefore often have the honour to welcome the (non-)famous subjects of the Dutch policital, cultural and intellectual society in our midst.
