StoepStories Retrospect

By 20-10-2022

 

StoepStories 5 – ZUIDAS
Jan Rothuizen en Dirk van Weelden | Marijn Smulders  | Reinier Gerritsen

Gustav Mahlerplein. Amsterdam zuid
Vrijdag 2 september

With this Stoepstories, we dive into the world of the Zuidas. Marijn Smulders shows the Friday afternoon drink. Reinier Gerritsen made a selection of his running bankmen and illustrator Jan Rothuizen shows his drawings for ‘From the Zuidas’. Together with writer Dirk van Weelden, he interviewed employees at the Zuidas. A visual search for the culture of the financial centre.

StoepStories 6 – WATER 
Sanne Derks | Jan van IJken

Achtergracht, Amsterdam centrum
Vrijdag 9 september

For us, water from the tap is taken for granted. That this is special though shows Sanne Derks’ project: Manifiesto Del Agua. Clean fresh water is a daily struggle for Cubans that demands the utmost of their ingenuity and the bureaucratic system does not make it easy for them. In addition, Jan van IJken presents his photographs from the series Planktonium, about the invisible world of living microscopic plankton: organisms invisible to the naked eye. Jan van IJken photographed water from the Achtergracht through his microscope and will present this during StoepStories 06. Maarten Ouboter of Waternet will talk about the water in Amsterdam’s canals.

StoepStories 7 – NOORD
Kay Fahner | Raimond Wouda

Buikslotermeerplein t.o. BCC winkel en ING Bank
Donderdag 13 oktober

For pavement stories NORTH, Raimond Wouda shows photographs from Tuindorp Oostzaan. A new selection of images, building on his book Polder VIII. This work is combined with photographs from the series ‘Daughter of Many’ in which Kay Fahner tells the story of her parents’ shoe and clothing repair shop in Amsterdam North. A neighbourhood shop where neighbourhood stories and concerns are shared. With increasing gentrification, they don’t know how long the doors can stay open.

StoepStories 8 – IMMIGRATION
Thana Faroq | Bertien van Manen

Achtergracht, Amsterdam centrum
Vrijdag 07 Oktober

Bertien van Manen produced the book ‘Vrouwen te gast’ in the 1970s. A period piece about the first migrant women and the new life they started in the Netherlands. We present her together with Thana Faroq a young photographer from Yemen who studied at the KABK and now teaches there. We will show her series ‘I Was Younger Yesterday’ in which she looks at the lives of Ammar, Lyla, Rahmin, Hafsa, Chaman and Ammar, whose refugee status has been denied by the Netherlands and who are fighting the threat of deportation. As a result, they live in limbo, stuck between borders; unable to return home and unable to build a new life here in the Netherlands.
