Curatorial context

The Bijbels Museum presents 'Gezicht van de Amstelhoven: Myonne,' an online mini-exhibition focusing on Myonne Smid and her work at Stichting Oud Geleerd Jong Gedaan (OGJG). Myonne, who has been with OGJG for six years, is now the operational manager of a team organizing enriching activities for seniors, including interactive lectures by students. Her work aims to foster positive perceptions of older adults, promote lasting intergenerational contact, and encourage looking at each other with fresh eyes, free from prejudice. She emphasizes the importance of listening and personal attention in her leadership role, creating a safe and confidential atmosphere for her colleagues. Myonne champions the principle that 'everyone deserves equal treatment,' a value she has held since childhood. She actively works against discrimination and hopes for a society where individuals are seen as unique human beings rather than categorized by their background or appearance. She seeks common ground rather than focusing on differences, maintaining a positive outlook on shared humanity. Myonne finds the Amstelhoven, where the Bijbels Museum has its offices, to be an inspiring place, feeling at home despite the recent move. She draws extra energy from organizations within the building that are dedicated to making society better and helping people. This experience has led her to call for increased collaboration with other organizations in the building and the Diaconie. The photo for this presentation in the 'Gezichten van de Amstelhoven' series was taken by Mais Shourbaji. This series, created in collaboration with and for the people associated with the building, is made possible by financial support from the Protestant Diaconie Amsterdam and Stichting Rotterdam.
