The yearly 2.Dh5 festival is coming to Ru Paré in Amsterdam for its seventeenth edition from February 24th to 26th 2023.

2.Dh5 is an annual festival for the exchange of radical ideas, strategies and practices by grassroots groups, collective projects and direct action campaigns in the Netherlands and beyond.

Volunteers

The festival runs off of volunteer labour, a barebones budget, and an abiding communal desire for non-professional, autonomous and extra-institutional political space grounded in our local conditions and struggles. Find any affinity in these commitments?

Stands

We have an info market with more than twenty stands. Find out who’s coming here.

Children!

We’ll have childcare at 2.Dh5 this year.
