WE HAVE A DREAM
We no longer borrow from closets.
We no longer ask to belong.
We wear what the fire gave us.
This is not fashion.
This is Myth stitched in skin.
Amsterdam. Winter.
The gates were locked -
But we entered anyway.
We lit candles in forbidden rooms.
Raised fists with camera's rolling.
Not be seen.
To be remembered.
This is not nostalgia.
This is rebellion in sillouette.
A resurrection through denim and defiance.
We do not wear clothes.
We carry prophecy.
And the dream?
Its not a hope.
It's a sword.
And its already drawn.
AMSTERDAM, WINTER. THE GATES WERE STILL LOCKED.
BUT WE ENTERED ANYWAY.
WE DO NOT WEAR CLOTHES.
WE CARRY PROPHESY.
AND THE DREAM?
IT IS NOT HOPE - IT IS A SWORD.
AND IT IS ALREADY DRAWN.
Where fear ends, freedom begins.
What unites us is greater than what divides us.
No matter where you stand, we can still stand together.
To create, to love, to feel, to connect. To breathe.
For Freedom is part of the fabric of being human.
Let’s celebrate our unity, rejoice in our dignity.
The future is alive.
Friday, February 25, the corona restrictions will be lifted.
