This exhibition at OBA Oosterdok showcases special maps from the 'Subjective Atlas of Amsterdam'. It presents the city through the lived experiences of its diverse residents, especially those often marginalized, offering a nuanced view of urban needs, accessibility, and safety.
On display at the Amsterdam Library at Oosterdok from September 8 to October 29, 2023, the 'Subjective Atlas of Amsterdam' touring exhibition presents a collection of special maps and videos that reveal the city as experienced by its residents. The exhibition critically examines how the perspectives of policymakers and designers, often lacking in diversity, do not fully reflect Amsterdam's varied population. It highlights the experiences of individuals who often face barriers related to accessibility, affordability, and safety. The maps and accompanying narratives, such as those by Eric Groot Kormelink, Mahmoud, Teferi, Janfrans van Eerden, and Vreer Verkerke, illustrate the challenges faced by different communities, including those with disabilities, without residence permits, or belonging to the LGBTQ+ community. Other contributions, like Ravi Blits's work on electronic waste recycling, Anna Torres's observations on the Red Light District, and Alexandra Rouppe van der Voort's focus on her garden, showcase a broader spectrum of urban life and personal connections to the city. Together, these maps form a poignant collection of personal realities that challenge conventional urban planning and policy, aiming to contribute to a more inclusive and better city for everyone.
Admission to this exhibition at OBA Oosterdok is free. The exhibition is on display from September 8 to October 29, 2023, during the library's visiting hours (Monday-Friday 08:00-22:00, Saturday-Sunday 10:00-20:00). Information about accessibility for visitors with disabilities is also provided.
