The exhibition 'BORO x Mobiel IK ZIE JOU, WAT ZIE JIJ?' at the Van Eesteren Museum presents a unique textile artwork developed through a year-long collaboration between designer Antoine Peters and residents from Amsterdam West and Nieuw-West. Through a series of workshops, participants engaged in painting with vegetable waste and discussed their experiences with waste management in their neighborhoods.

Peters was inspired by these community-created pieces to design an installation for their exhibition. This project, BORO x Mobiel, is a social design initiative aimed at connecting community members through shared creative activities. BORO x Atelier, a social sewing and dyeing studio, champions sustainability, circularity, and talent development.
