Your home away from home.
Because Amsterdam needs a home of cultures. NDA-KO brings it through the blended echoing voices of the Black community through food, art, music, and fashion.
WHAT IS NDAKO
WHAT IS NDAKO
NDA-KO is literally what its name stands for: Home in Lingala.
We aim to shed light on Black creators, innovators, and thinkers who are shaping the Culture. Our Home was designed with the idea that the Western world needs a space where people of Afro descent are given the opportunity to expose their craft to the masses but also are given the chance to create, get inspired, and mingle with like-minded individuals in a safe space.
With our four pillars, we want to take you to our homes and share with you our cultures, our food, our infectious joy, and the values we hold dear to our hearts.
Boye malamu na NDA-KO. Welcome Home.
