Exhibition summary
This exhibition at OBA Bijlmerplein showcases 'The Subjective Atlas of Amsterdam', featuring special maps from the atlas that highlight the diverse experiences and needs of Amsterdam's residents. It aims to present a more varied image of the city, offering perspectives often unheard in policy-making and design.
Curatorial context
The Subjective Atlas of Amsterdam travels to OBA Bijlmerplein for a focused, free exhibition running from March 9 to May 5, 2024. This exhibition delves into how Amsterdammers, particularly those whose voices are less frequently heard in urban planning and design, experience their city. By presenting a collection of personal maps, the exhibition aims to foster a more inclusive vision of Amsterdam, reflecting the everyday realities and needs of its diverse inhabitants.
The project critically examines the demographic of city makers, who are often predominantly white, theoretically trained, heterosexual, and male, contrasting this with the rich diversity of the city's population. The maps displayed offer a bundle of everyday experiences, some delightful, others poignant, representing a broader spectrum of realities that policymakers and designers might overlook. The initiative seeks to contribute to the development of a city that truly serves everyone, encouraging a deeper understanding of the varied lived experiences within Amsterdam.
