![Who Lives in the Sloterplas?]( "Who Lives in the Sloterplas?")
info‘Wie woont er in de Sloterplas?’ is de tweede tentoonstelling in GALERIENIEMIENIE. Nesie Junyi Wang en Anastasija Diukova zijn benieuwd hoe bewoners van Amsterdam Nieuw-West zich verhouden tot het waterlandschap van de Sloterplas — een kunstmatig meer dat is gevormd door de modernistische idealen van de Tuinstad. Via wandelingen, gezamenlijke evenementen en participatieve spellen onderzoekt het project hoe deze ontworpen landschappen worden beleefd, herinnerd en gereguleerd. Het nodigt uit tot nieuwe manieren van waarnemen en verbeelden van stedelijke waterrelaties, voorbij mensgericht plannen.

2025Temporarily Out of Place Treehouse NDSM Amsterdam, Netherlands Sustainability and circularity may sound like well-worn concepts by now. Yet in Temporarily Out of Place, ten artists at Treehouse NDSM show that sustainability goes far beyond the reuse of materials and objects. Creating a more sustainable world requires us to re-examine the systems, habits, and assumptions that shape our daily lives. www.treehousendsm.com/agenda/temporarily-out-of-place Group

Flows-rond: Reimagining Urban Water Relations Buurtwerkplaats Noordenhof Amsterdam, Netherlands Based at Buurtwerkplaats Noorderhof, this project explores the hidden water infrastructures of Sloterplas through participatory research and events. Introducing Kaumera, a biopolymer made from wastewater, it brings local communities into conversation with the flows beneath the city. The project focuses on the often unseen water infrastructure around the neighbourhood of Sloterplas—water systems, the human impact, and how it all connects to the landscape around us. The project is funded by a Horizon Europe project called VOICE (https://www.voice- community.eu/). Through artist-led interventions (ATSIs), VOICE encourages citizen engagement to tackle local and regional environmental challenges effectively.
