De Pride Amsterdam is een feestelijk evenement met een homocultureel karakter. Het wordt sinds 1996 jaarlijks gedurende het eerste weekend van augustus gehouden in de binnenstad van Amsterdam. De officiële naam van het evenement was aanvankelijk Amsterdam Pride, vervolgens van 2007 t/m 2016 Amsterdam Gay Pride en sinds 2017 heeft het evenement zijn huidige naam.[1] Anders dan de naam doet vermoeden heeft dit evenement oorspronkelijk niet het demonstratieve protestkarakter van de Gay Pride Parades elders in de wereld. Het Nederlandse equivalent daarvan is de jaarlijkse Roze Zaterdag die meestal eind juni of begin juli in telkens een andere Nederlandse stad plaatsvindt
Hoogtepunt van de Amsterdam Gay Pride is de Canal Parade, een bonte stoet van boten die op de eerste zaterdag van augustus door de grachten vaart. Oorspronkelijk ging de tocht vanaf het Westerdok via de Prinsengracht, Amstel, Zwanenburgwal en Oudeschans naar het Oosterdok. Sinds 2017 varen de boten in omgekeerde richting, namelijk van het Oosterdok, via de Nieuwe Herengracht, de Amstel en de Prinsengracht naar het Westerdok.[4]
Jaarlijks komen enige honderdduizenden bezoekers op dit evenement af en het is daardoor een van de drukst bezochte publieksevenementen van Nederland. De betrouwbaarheid van de (voortdurend stijgende) bezoekersaantallen staat overigens al enkele jaren ter discussie. In de Verenigde Staten werd de Amsterdam Gay Pride in 2008 uitgeroepen tot de beste Gay Pride-viering van Europa en in 2018 werd de Amsterdamse Pride verkozen tot Beste Publieksevenement van Nederland.[ member the past, create the futurete the future
Pride Amsterdam

Pride Amsterdam is a festive event with a gay cultural character. It is held annually during the first weekend of August in the city centre of Amsterdam since 1996. The official name of the event was initially Amsterdam Pride, then from 2007 to 2016 Amsterdam Gay Pride, and since 2017 the event has its current name.[1] Contrary to what the name suggests, this event originally did not have the demonstrative protest character of Gay Pride Parades elsewhere in the world. The Dutch equivalent is the annual Pink Saturday, which usually takes place at the end of June or beginning of July in a different Dutch city each year.
The highlight of Amsterdam Gay Pride is the Canal Parade, a colourful procession of boats that travels through the canals on the first Saturday in August. Originally, the parade went from Westerdok via Prinsengracht, Amstel, Zwanenburgwal and Oudeschans to Oosterdok. Since 2017, the boats have been sailing in the opposite direction, from the Oosterdok, via the Nieuwe Herengracht, the Amstel and the Prinsengracht to the Westerdok.[4]
Every year, several hundred thousand visitors come to this event, making it one of the busiest public events in the Netherlands. The reliability of the (constantly rising) visitor numbers has been under discussion for some years. In the United States, Amsterdam Gay Pride was voted the best Gay Pride celebration in Europe in 2008 and in 2018 it was voted the Best Public Event in the Netherlands.[ member the past, create the future
Art For You
Henk Adriani (Amsterdam, 1952) fine art and photography trained as a photographer at the Fotovakschool and began working in practice at Satina in Amsterdam.
Since 1974 he has been working as an independent photographer. .
In the years that followed Henk began to produce various forms of visual art in which fine art as the photographic technique played a leading role.
From 1986 onwards Henk focused on a different approach to the phenomenon of the image, using painting techniques.
In this working method he found a greater challenge to express his inspiration in a much looser spontaneous and lively way.
Recent works, including those in oil, acrylic, gouache, watercolor and combined techniques, reflect feelings of emotional expression more strongly than is possible with photographic techniques. It is therefore justifiable to speak of "I paint where photography stops".
In most of my works on paper or canvas I use a bright and colorful palette.
There is often no real definitive plan, but there is a global idea, I never work from pre-made sketches or drawings, I experience the subject during the work.
All kinds of changes can be made to the depiction during the entire process of creation.
The images have a recognizable form, sometimes figurative, but very often strongly leaning towards abstract.
Making art in the broadest sense of the word, in principle all materials can be considered for the creation of my art expression: photography, painting, working in ink, charcoal or pastel and various graphic techniques such as etching and screen printing, often in a combined form.
