De Vloek, Self-managed social center in Scheveningen harbor, Netherlands.
Located at Hellingweg 127, the building contained workspaces, concert venues, theater facilities, and a vegan restaurant named Water en Brood.
The municipality tolerated De Vloek's occupation in 2003, permitting its operation as a cultural project until the final eviction in September 2015.
The center provided spaces for music rehearsals, theater productions, art studios, and hosted regular exhibitions featuring local artists throughout its existence.
De Vloek operated without external funding, offering affordable meals and activities to thousands of residents from Wednesday through Saturday.
The location housed a youth sailing school alongside artistic spaces, creating an unexpected combination of maritime education and alternative culture.
