The exhibition of ‘100% Mensch’, a series of portraits of legendary people from history, will take place in WTC Amsterdam. They tell their story and thus provide a historical LGBTQ+ perspective. From Leonardo da Vinci to Freddie Mercury and from Florence Nightingale to Marlene Dietrich. The portraits, made especially for this exhibition by international artists, can be admired in the central hall of tower H/I.
Pride month
We organize the exhibition for two good reasons. Firstly, we look back at Pride Month, a themed month in which special attention was paid to the position, emancipation and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. At the same time, the exhibition provides a festive setting for the Back the work week in which we aim to further embrace the theme of inclusivity & diversity, an important topic in the Zuidas district.
During the Socialclub Back to work week, the director of Projekt 100% Mensch will fly in from Germany and give an exclusive presentation about this exhibition. We serve a special LHBTIQ+ themed mocktail and snack for everybody!
