EU 2016 ARTS & DESIGN PROGRAMME ≥ THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

AMSTERDAM

We witnessed events putting our society under great pressure: the global refugee crises, terrorist attacks in Europe, (inter)national conflicts, Brexit. These events strengthened our shared conviction that culture can and should play an important role in our society, through exchange, collaboration, connection and inspiration. Throughout the whole process of developing the programme, we focused on the makers to imagine and co-design future society.

We’ve asked designers, directors, thinkers, scientists, musicians, poets, artists and students to come up with answers to urgent contemporary questions in cities. Matters like sustainability, migration, affordable housing, healthcare, waste and food. We wanted a bottom-up approach and connect makers from different European countries and from different disciplines.

It was a fruitful open invitation to professionals as well as the general public, to make, imagine and narrate ideas, stories and concepts. And it led to an inspiring and very extensive programme in Brussels and the Netherlands, with Amsterdam as the solidly pounding heart. Together we created FabCity, The Wall and the On Stage-programme.

This book shows a rich impression per month, a selection of all the different activities and people of which the programme consisted.

A programme made by people, a lot of people, who bring their experiences into the future Europe.

INTRODUCTION THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

In Autumn 2014, we sat together for the first time to think and talk about how to create a cultural programme related to the Dutch Presidency of the European Union. Now, at the end of 2016, we look back on six incredible months, in which we’ve connected, created, (been) inspired and educated and have gotten a glimpse of the future of everyday living.

We wanted the dialogue to be stronger than debate, inclusiveness to be obvious, diversity to stimulate the creative process and people to wander off the beaten path looking for exciting and unexpected results. In the end, this all lead to inspiring contributions towards the future of Europe. Much needed in the alarming times we live in.

PREFACE

For this purpose, we started by initiating the EU2016 Creative Call. We organised a boot camp, and from April 2015 onwards we programmed two weekly meet ups at Pakhuis de Zwijger in which we generated innovative and inspiring ideas and kickstarted the execution of those ideas.

Everyone could join in, every opinion counted – it had to be about imagination, confusion, wonder, connection and innovation.

From 1 January 2016, the Netherlands presided over the Council of the European Union for six months. It was not all about politics, though.

The cultural programme Europe by People, The Future of Everyday Living looked into contemporary social issues through arts and design. The programme contained of the following: an art intervention in public space The Wall, a self-sufficient and sustainable FabCity, an On Stage programme of performing arts and a programme of events in Amsterdam and Brussels.

THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

NEW EUROPEANS

The Arts & Design programme Europe by People, The Future of Everyday Living was based on the belief that art has the power to enrich our society, to make it a more inspiring and better place to live, with a stronger economy - whether through design, architecture, fine arts, fashion, theatre, music, dance, film, poetry or literature.

The strengths of the Netherlands lie in innovative thinking, creativity and talent for collaboration, networking and enterprise. These are strengths, which best manifest themselves in our interactions with other countries.

This is why co-operation and co-creation were at the core of our cultural programme, why we focused on actively engaging with the public and on fostering a truly interdisciplinary approach.

We also focused on the new generation of artists

THE WALL an interactive wall, which could be visited online as well as offline. The actual wall around the Navy base where the formal activities took place, served as a background for temporary art installations and performances.

FABCITY a temporary, partly self-sufficient society at the Java Island where students, artists and professionals – worked, created, did research and came up with solutions for everyday city problems.

Europe by People, The Future of Everyday Living consisted of four elements:

ON STAGE throughout the whole period, there was an extensive On Stage programme with theme-based performances, exhibitions and projects.

BRUSSELS at the same time there was a parallel programme in Brussels, consisting of performing arts, festivals and exhibitions.

and designers – the people who will shape a new Europe in the decades to come. We asked them to come up with their answers to urgent issues and solutions, to pressing problems resulting from social, cultural, political and technological change.

FABCITY: MAKERSPACE FOR URBAN INNOVATORS

More than 400 young students, professionals, artists and creatives developed the site into a sustainable urban area, where they worked, created, explored and presented their solutions for current urban issues.On campus the fifty pavilions were divided into eight areas.

Here students, professionals, researchers and artists demonstrated, developed and tested solutions for our future cities, including alternative forms of energy, new ways of transportation, different possibilities for treating water, local food supplies and re-using waste. There was also a number of performing arts shows and installations from innovative creators. Their vision of the future took shape in theatre, dance, film and music performances.

The Wall was an on and off-line programme of art installations and performances located along the 450-metre brick wall that surrounds the Amsterdam Marine Base. This base was where, during the 182 days of the Presidency, the official EU-meetings took place. The Wall separated the politicians from the public during this period and was at the same time used to enhance the communication between these two worlds. Over the six-month period, New Europeans, a group of young European creators and thinkers co-created a physical space with artistic interventions and a cultural programme. It was a test site for everyday life, visible and open to the general public as well as the official EU programme participants.

The New Europeans presented their explorations into Europe’s future on an interactive and layered art installation mounted along The Wall. Their work is presented in the attached New Europeans booklet.

by Europe by People, while other performances and exhibitions were included because of the way they fitted into our vision.

BRUSSELS In Brussels, Europe by People presented a selection of Dutch artists, theatre makers, dancers, designers, and programme makers, who all showed a great sense of active social involvement in their work. They shared their views on the future of Europe in performances, projects and exhibitions.

The artists involved showed their views on contemporary and future Europe, in words, images, plays, dance and music. In May and June the programme reached its climax – FabCity buzzed with creative energy, while in the rest of the country several associated cultural activities took place.

What role does art have in defining the European identity? How can artists help us understand Europe better? How does the generation of young makers handle social issues like migration, privacy, sustainability, urban development, social innovation and international conflicts?

Most of the programmes were accessible to the audience, and the ones that weren’t were made visible on alternative platforms, both off and online.

Off campus hundreds of students worked together in multidisciplinary teams to research transformational issues in eleven study areas across Amsterdam. The teams investigated concerns and issues which are not unique to Amsterdam but are happening in cities all over Europe. Together they developed creative and sustainable solutions to tackle these problems. Students worked on-site in the study areas, doing fieldwork and talking to stakeholders. In the Learning Lab at FabCity, they met with peers to exchange knowledge and showcase their results. The participants came from various educational backgrounds, including art and technology academics, universities and vocational colleges.

from well-trodden paths offers unexpected new insights. It put emphasis on the challenges facing Europe nowadays, with culture as a means for raising questions, seeking confrontations and enable unexpected connections. A very nice example is FabCity, a temporary living lab for our future city. Here people experiment with the imaginaries of the ideal city, and this is how the ideal turns into reality. By designing, building and doing research on the ideal city, which does not exist as such today, other people will start sharing these urban imaginaries.

By imagining the future it can become reality.’

INTRODUCTION

Even though I sometimes would rather be a scared, tunnelvisioned, I-only-care-about-myself-andthe-small-circle-around-me standard piglet and even more rarely a power-hungry, fuck the world, I-want-more-more-more boss piglet, I am not.

INTRODUCTION THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

For the project In Search Of Europe, I travelled 17 cities in 8 countries in 30 days and interviewed more than 20 young creative professionals who are trying to improve the society they live. There is a new generation awakening in Europe and they are ready to fight for change. Professor Trapman of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam said people will never change in essence, evilness and greediness will never disappear and it’s our duty to offer a counterweight. There are three types of people Trapman said: the destructive ones, the indifferent and afraid ones, and those that want to improve. I’d like to point out every person is all three, but it’s about the leading attitude.

In my theatre show ‘Us Pigland’ I spoke about the boss piglets that can suckle from the first nipples, the standard piglets that drank from the middle nipples and the specials that got the rest in the back. All three types of people will always exist and they keep each other balanced.

I noticed that the battles of all these creators I met, no matter how different they are, share some common elements. Creators strive to create a society rather than a better society per se.

I quote Simon Allemeersch, who we spoke to in Ghent. He literally said: I don’t want to create a better society; I want to create a society.

Society is a moment in which people meet each other and share or show their story.

THE 5 BATTLES OF A CREATIVE GENERATION

I have the necessity not to surrender to the inequality and loneliness and unfairness of the world even though I know that it won’t go away and that this side I have doesn’t make me ‘better’ than every other. It’s just a part of me.Apparently I am somebody with a cause and I follow this cause as intensely and disciplined and vulnerable as I can. Sometimes I fail because the other piglets are in me too, but I do my best alone and together.

The beauty is there are people like me all over the world. The people I spoke to also try to carry out their necessity to cause something. We, piglets from the back nipples, we creators, we share a battle and that makes the loneliness bearable: it connects us and allows us to carry on.

INTRODUCTION THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

The last battle is that of the local and the global. What we do locally reverberates globally.

The local is necessary to realize the sense of belonging, while the global ensures the work itself is recognized. Social media can and must be used to offer a counter measure to globalization (that centers mostly around the economy) by presenting the power of the human and local to the world. The battle of the creators who are everywhere and in all layers of society is a difficult and everlasting but essential battle.

It is of the utmost importance that they meet every now and then, to share and exchange their ideas and visions. Because the most difficult and yet the most important is to never give up the battle.

31

Giorgio de Finis’ vision was to open a museum for modern art in an old salami factory in Rome occupied by 200 immigrants and outcasts. 300 top artists from Europe donated 400 art pieces.

People can visit the museum and everyone works and cooperates for free; Giorgio is not making any money and even moved back to his mother’s house.

I was touched walking around there, by his vision on how art can really cause something. He said: ‘Art gives these refugees a horizon, imagination, dreams, collaboration and encounters. And people would never come to the ghetto’s of Rome for a social project, but they will come for modern art.

Now they meet the residents and find the human aspect in the immensely complicated problem of legal outcasts of society. Also, 200 refugees thrown out on the streets might lead to a small article in the newspaper.

But destroying 400 works of art, that’s barbaric, that is impossible.’ The fourth battle is the one of continuous kicking, biting, questioning, doubting and examining the general way things are. Real change comes from ‘confrontation’ with what is, the ruling system. Creators are the best people to do this because we are not bound to geographical, social, economical, political or other borders. We can and must, in the spirit of Erasmus, continuously and always actively (re) think and question what is happening around us.

And by that I mean creators should not only think but also act, through their art. This active (re)thinking and questioning keeps the world in at least some sort of balance. © PHILE DEPREZ

Simon spoke about the necessity for a sense of belonging that is essential for a community.

The second element creators everywhere share is the battle for a true public space, places of common ground. The idea of the world as something that belongs to us all has been increasingly challenged throughout history. In the 13th century the Chapter of the Forrest, declared that the forest was for all people. But in the centuries that followed more and more forest became the private property of less and less people. Thomas More revolted against this process in his Utopia.

Reclaiming the common grounds, the public space is the other European battle we must fight today.

A third battle is the one of having, commutating and sharing of visions. Visions are not fleeting, absurd dreams. Visions are concrete, can be executed, are achievable dreams that allow us to look beyond tomorrow. They provide insight as well as a horizon. And without a horizon you’re staring at a wall. And walls are terrifying.

JANUARY

The opening ceremony was held on 4 January at The Wall, which encloses the Marine Establishment at the Kattenburgerstraat in Amsterdam. Throughout January, The Wall exhibited Robin de Puy’s Amsterdam Portraits. Over the next six months, a group of young European artists and thinkers, New Europeans, used The Wall as a canvas to explore Europe’s future. They were joined by artists including Dina Danish, Henk Wildschut, David Bade, Raimond Wouda and Paul Faassen. The New Europeans were responsible for the opening ceremony which included a plastic pigeon, white scarves and a ukelele. They explained their choice of attributes as follows: ‘The pigeon is the dove’s

The white scarves were inspired by traditional European clothing, but they also gave a ceremonial and almost religious dimension to the ceremony, thus heightening the contrast with the sillier elements of the performance. Even so, they had a remarkable unifying effect, through the scarves we were welcoming the politicians, not excluding them. White was also for Provo, this being the colour that their policies were branded with.

Speaking of whom, the smoke billowing from behind the ministers paralleled the smoke bombs released

by Provo during the coronation of Queen Beatrix, it shows how things have changed that we were sharing a stage with the politicians this time.

The ukulele is too small to be taken seriously.

Being plastic made it all the more effective, the foreign minister gestured for it to fly away but could not consummate this symbolic gesture, having to hold onto the everyday bird rather than absentmindedly throwing it away.

NEW EUROPEANS TESTSITE FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

New Europeans is a test site for everyday life in Europe. In these six months they created alternative scenarios for the future of the continent, asked themselves how we would want to live together and discovered the values we share with others across Europe. New Europeans stand for a Europe by people. A Europe of doing, gathering, and sharing. One in which people have more in common than a yellow-starred blue flag. A Europe in which we deal with conflict by connecting personally, by testing new forms of co-existence. In an ever-changing Europe, we share values, rituals and dreams rather than borders and institutions.

Commissioned by Europe by People, the young photographer was the first artist to cover the huge billboards at the Wall. She filled them with a series of group portraits, all made in Amsterdam. The series showed the diversity of the Dutch capital, which harbours some 180 different nationalities, more or less living peacefully next to each other, making it a true European, cosmopolitan city.

The exhibition showcased some familiar faces for those frequenting the glamorous night life of the capital as well as sportteams, civil servants, security guards etc.

Robin de Puy graduated from the Fotoacademie Rotterdam in 2009. She subsequently won the Photo Academy Award 2009 and was nominated for various photography prizes. In 2014 she won the National Portrait Prize. And in 2016 she was declared “fotograaf des vaderlands”.

Her work has been published in a number of national and international magazines, including New York Magazine, Bloomberg Business Week, ELLE, L’Officiel, Volkskrant and many more.

Photographer Robin de Puy made cultural headlines with a series of portraits shot on her 10.000 kilometre road trip through the USA, in 2015.

The series ‘If this is true… I’ll never have to leave home again’, resulted in an exhibition, a photo book and a documentary.

AMSTERDAM PORTRAITS

BY ROBIN DE PUY

About making portraits the artist said in an online diary: ‘With my portraits, I create a world of my own, in which I don’t stand out. And I communicate through these portraits.’ And: ‘My photography is not only about how I take a picture of someone, but also about the one I take a picture of.’

The Presidency of the Council of the European Union changes twice a year between EU member states.

During this half year, the standing EU President redesigns a number of spaces in the building of the European Council: the Justus Lipsius in Brussels.

In contrast, this project aimed to look at Europe.

Through three interventions - in different shades of blue - the project tried to connect the inner world of the Council with the Europe that lies beyond the walls of the building.

THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

TEXT: XML AND JURGEN BEY

The typical approach to these designs is ‘nation branding’; the type of furniture and exhibitions in the atrium, foyer and presidential chambers in the building change nationality twice a year.

Accordingly, the interior of the building of the European Council is a consecutive celebration of specific national identities. Paradoxically, this practice of focusing on national identities actually keeps Europe itself out of view.

The exchange of ideas is at the heart of politics.

The architecture in which this exchange takes place has a powerful impact on the type of conversation. The design of XML and Bey for the Presidential Chambers offers multiple seating arrangements. Government leaders can change positions between group settings or bilateral talks, and can choose sides on opposing benches or have a dialogue in a more informal setting.

2. FOYER: EUROPEAN WATERBAR The Justus Lipsius is essentially an office building. Using a ‘tool’ that can be found in almost any office space in Europe - a watercooler - this design for the foyer aimed to create an informal open meeting place in the building. The water bar offered users water from all 28 European member states, organised in one long zig-zag element. Through this universal element – water – the bar playfully provoked questions of national and shared identity.

JANUARY THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

3. PRESIDENTIAL CHAMBERS: UNITED IN DIVERSITY

At first, the meeting landscape appeared to be a single element, but on closer inspection, the element was composed of 28 different unique pieces, one for each EU member state. Following Europe’s unofficial subtext of ‘unity in diversity’, together they formed a landscape.

After the Dutch Presidency, the 28 individual pieces were shipped to the 28 EU-members.

An impression of these installations was exhibited at BOZAR in Brussels from April till May 2016.

The floor of the atrium was covered with a giant carpet of blue artificial grass. On first sight, the ‘European blue’-colour of the floor turned the atrium into an iconic European square.

By hanging a camera from the roof of the atrium, the blue floor gained depth as a blue screen, turning the atrium into a canvas for artists.

Another screen showed the digitally transformed European squares on the ‘floor’: interactive installations and graphic design revealing the depth and diversity of the European blue.

‘There are two words that are central in my work.

Love and freedom. To be who I want to be and to do what I want to do. With lots of love. Unfortunately, as a creator you’re not always free to create.

Mostly because of the lack of money. And I don’t have the vision of the future of the arts sector.

But even if it’s difficult a real artist will go on without fear and with lots of creative hunger and fighting spirit. Human beings with similar or the opposite work background should connect more.

Strenghten and accept each other despite or thanks to the differences. My motto is ‘You have something I don’t have, and I have something you don’t have.

TOGETHER we can make something beautiful.’

If we want to be in the position to organise the future of our cities for ourselves, we need to be more imaginative than we are now.

At first, we were an error in the statistics; we never should have been born here. Our parents should have returned to their home countries, after working their backs to the bone in the factories.

Later, there was the problem of the integration.

After that, the problem of the second generation Muslims. They will always be calling us names: scientific names, so we will always be distinguished from the others. We will always be a problem.

Only the name of the problem will change over time. That’s all. So, no. I’m not homesick.’

THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

‘The future of everyday living will be different and the same. As it has also been in the past with shifts from a production to a service based economy, resulting in more wealth, leisure time and stimulating emancipation. Again we are at a shift. This time from a service economy to a network economy. On the one hand traditional jobs at large organisations are disappearing, on the other hand small scale self employment is on the rise. No one knows how the new balance between private live and work will exactly be in the future and what effects this new shift will have. But eternal values like family, friendship and purpose will remain important. As will eternal threats like war, hunger and social exclusion.’

‘Breaking borders is not about taking away borders it is about acknowledging borders. About being aware of the differences, loving the differences, looking at each other coming from all these different countries and backgrounds and learning from them, absorbing them and then transforming them into something you are, something closer to you. That is my personal experience in living in many different countries in Europe; all the countries leave some form of sediment in my persona and we are all people, especially the young artists here today, that are formed by layers of sediment of other artists, of other forms of art. This is my message to you today: breaking borders is not about taking away borders.’

‘Today, the cities are organised in a way that makes us stay in our adolescence. We safeguard our own identity and stick with our own principles.

We need places where we can get into conflict in a safe way. I can think of a completely other kind of city where people develop their own space under their own conditions. The commons give us freedom and tools to raise our voices. We don’t need fixed identity, but we need to become citizens to develop their identity. Art feeds this development.’

‘The Future of Everyday Living is living life without worrying about the damage you might do to your environment. Everything you use, eat, do, and consume should be made in a way that it doesn’t harm the ecosystem you live in. It’s still very abstract, but getting more and more clear as years pass. Not because I get smarter or I’ve developed myself. But because (luckily) the world is moving towards this direction and more and more initiatives like this pop-up. Making it every time a bit easier to envision the future.’

‘The future of everyday living begins and ends with people: grounding city making approaches in co-creational initiatives based on collective urban process management. Cross-sector approaches to accelerate integration of circular practices in cities, developing a new level of collective socio-spatial urban ownership amongst all.

We see such stimulation through our own practise.

By proposing a set of tools and strategies to enact a wider spatial collective ownership, we see the future of everyday living bringing the discourse of circular city making from niche to mainstream – showing how to better implement people- centered initiatives around socio-spatial circular development.’

It is not individual freedom that is in the driving seat, but security. Greater powers for the police and security services are supposed to ensure that terrorists are intercepted in time, making the world a safer place. But does this approach add up? What if our data got into the hands of these very terrorists – or of a regime with shady intentions? The End of Privacy asked the question what it would mean if, in 20 years’ time, privacy were a concept consigned to the past.’

Explicitly or implicitly, they presented their vision of Europe in their performances, projects and exhibitions, invoking a better understanding of Europe as well as new insights into the role of art in defining a European identity.

A number of projects and performances emerged from the EU2016 Creative Challenge Call. Through a range of national and European networks, European creatives from the younger generation were asked to respond to the urgent issues and major developments of our time.

FEBRUARY THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

European society is changing rapidly. To many artists and thinkers, this time of transition is an important source of inspiration. Europe

by People, On Stage presented a selection of artists, theatre-makers, dancers, designers, choreographers and programme makers who actively respond to current social issues in their work.

Europe by People, On Stage, was set up as a multi-tiered programme. There were performances, projects, exhibitions and debates in Amsterdam as well as further afield. The programme included performances and projects that emerged from the boot camp as well as performances and programmes proposed by external arts organisations and selected because of their connection with the themes explored by Europe by People.

The On Stage programme continued from January until the end of June.

Subsequently, programmes, projects and exhibitions by Dutch and European artists from various arts disciplines were reviewed to determine whether they touched on these urgent issues. From a total of circa 150 entries from the Netherlands and other European countries, around twenty projects were selected for the boot camp, where creatives from various countries collaborated on developing their projects. In the end, half of them were selected and included in the programme.

It will not be achieved overnight. It will require interest and real concern. We must meet the other with empathy. And when we go abroad, we need to keep an open mind and not bother too much about giving up some of the customs of home. Only then may we learn to truly appreciate the beautiful diversity of Europe’s countries and ways of life. I know I would be sorry to see this diversity disappear for the sake of commercial gain.’

Ever wondered what people crossings streets throughout Europe look like? Maybe not, but Dutch photographer Poike Stomps did. He set out on a journey across Europe and captured the crowds getting from one side of the street to the other, right after that traffic light finally jumped to green. From Stockholm to Sofia, from Valetta to Vilnius and from Reykjavik to Rome, he managed to freeze the rhythm of the city in each of the 42 European capital cities. Not only do these images portray everyday street life across Europe, they also show the various cultures, while at the same time illustrating the continent-wide similarities. Stomps: ‘I discovered that even by watching people traverse the street we may

In 1989, four children are born in safety. One of them grows up in Iran, one in Syria and two in Bosnia. Eleven years on, all four have fled their native countries with their families and ended up in the Netherlands. In 2009, they become fellow students at Maastricht drama school and five years later they tell their incredible life stories on stage in their performance Nobody Home.

In 2016, she also staged her new performance “Jihad - de voorstelling”, as part of Europe by People. In this play, three friends are on their way to Syria to join the jihadists. During this journey, they discover each other’s motifs, as they hardly know each other apart from their time at the mosque. In Syria, the situation they encounter is far less idyllic than they expected.

They realise that what they’ve been told through social media and hate mongers is not all true.

The battle against the non-believers is really a battle against people like themselves. And the three friends just serve as cannon fodder.

Jihad was performed by Saman Amini, Majd Mardo, Chems Eddine Amar and Sahand Sahebdivani, who was responsible for the music. Both productions were touring throughout the Netherlands during the presidency.

And so, to get their collective voice across the wall, they designed and installed three mailboxes along Kattenburgerstraat, providing a standard letter in support of undocumented migrants that could be signed and posted on the spot. Using symbols of flight – a carrier pigeon, a plane and a sling, they tried to convey the idea of transcending barriers.

Even though the New Europeans work site was meters away from the place where the EU officials met, they held no special privileges or easy access to the other side. There was no denying that there was a brick wall between them.

105

After a conversation about this initiative at The Wall, the New Europeans felt compelled to ask: ‘What can I do?’ It’s a simple question that does not have a simple answer. Together, they decided to offer one such answer. They resorted to an old democratic practice: sending letters, signed by citizens, to the Dutch authorities pleading for this situation to be resolved and the human rights of migrants in limbo to be respected.

Despite crises hitting society one after another, the portfolio of economic solutions used for societal problems has become bigger and bigger. This one-sided approach has come to the detriment of solutions that are based on the philosophy of care, or rather, of the commons. We urgently need to redevelop that philosophy if we are to prevent a new round of crises of capital, society and ecology.’

The classical role of the press, trying to check facts and show multiple views on subjects, seems to be overruled by an abundance of disinformation and propaganda, being spread with the speed of light on websites and social media groups.

This kind of facts-free information is the perfect recipe for the growth of extreme ideologies and further polarisation. My hope for the future of Europe is that people keep on informing themselves about the others, even if that information doesn’t fit their worldview.’

From 21 to 24 March in Brussels, for four days, 17 authors from ten countries were considering the need and necessity of literature. Among the authors were Andrey Kurkov (UKR), Neel Mukherjee (UK), Jeroen Olyslaegers (BE), Gustaaf Peek (NL) and Cécile Wajsbrot (FR). They were there for the second Passa Porta Seminar, part of Literary Europe Live and Europe by People. During the second morning of the seminar, the horrible assaults in Brussels took place and two of the scheduled public meetings were cancelled. The events underlined the relevance of the debate at the seminar.

On June 18, Perdu in Amsterdam staged some of the participating authors, Frederik Willem Daem, Jeroen Olyslaegers, Gustaaf Peek, Wytske Versteeg and Rebekka de Wit, in collaboration with international literature house Passa Porta and Europe by People. They recited texts and subsequently discussed the politics of writing in a debate. When is political literature necessary (and for whom) and when do you need to abstain from politicising the art? And how does this relate to the idea of an author pre-eminently being the one who can and should make his or her heard?

And what happens when the writer’s theoretical considerations become a reality?

The bell rings, it's break time. Students rush out of classrooms, stairs get clogged and every corner of the building is being seized by groups of youngsters chatting, laughing and eating their sandwiches. These are images of high school still engraved in my memory. Photographer Raimond Wouda captured these very moments in his exhibition School, which was presented at The Wall.

‘School’ is a long-term project that Wouda initiated in 2003. At that time Dutch media focussed mainly on the negative side of high schools. ‘Articles about violence and poor quality of education were dominating the

To the question if his experiences in high school are different from what he has seen in the European schools, Wouda answered: ‘It’s the same in many ways, but a lot has changed as well. The role of social media for example is fascinating. It plays such a large role in a student’s life nowadays; it’s their main source for news. Schools have to act upon this. But in general, students are still struggling with the same things as I used to do.’

newspapers.’ A very one-dimensional view in his opinion: ‘The role of social life was completely neglected, even though it’s such an important period of a young person’s life.’ A blind spot, he concluded, so he took action. Wouda approached each school almost as a micro cosmos. ‘It’s life in its extremes, it’s all about hormones, finding your own personality. That’s why it is so interesting.’He aims to ‘mind-map the lives of today’s youngsters, to reveal the main questions they’re dealing with, how they feel about their future and Europe’. In that sense Wouda takes on the role of an anthropologist: observing the social structures and unwritten rules within the borders of different European schools, but reflecting upon universal themes.

NEW NARRATIVES FOR EUROPE

In the New Narratives exhibition a new generation of European artists reflected on issues such as immigration, the financial crisis and the ecological footprint of Europe. The work sprung from a series of roundtable discussions, which the European Commission organised in 23 countries. Artists, scientists, thinkers and policy makers shared thoughts and visions on the (near) future of Europe. This exhibition was about shared values, such as human dignity and human rights, as well as about economy and growth.

A collection of new stories about Europe, a much needed necessity in today’s political climate.

Three exhibitions opened at BOZAR in Brussels for the EU presidency: ‘Theo van Doesburg, A New Expression of Life, Art and Technology’, ‘Rembrandt in black and white’ and ‘Imagine Europe In Search of New Narratives’. Sparking off each other in intriguing ways, each one of these exhibitions highlighted another aspect of the Netherlands’ innovative strength.

In the room that Designing Democracy created for this exhibition seven student projects were presented. Each one addressed issues that confront the future of democracy: from the experimental medicine Anapatin - a pill to overcome voter fatigue - to transforming political speeches into Youtube-vlogging and the possibility of a democracy run by algorithms.

Through free experimentation, irreverence, confrontation and humour, the student projects open up questions for the future of democracy in times of European crisis. Opening up these issues allows imagination into the dynamic that is necessary to overcome these issues collectively.

In a time when confidence in democracy is under increasing pressure – from the Euro crisis to the US Elections and from the Occupy movement to the streets of Athens – the Sandberg master program ‘Designing Democracy’ investigates the role of art and design in reshaping democratic politics.

Design used to be one of the self-evident tools to shape politics, but today the role of design in large-scale politics is either underestimated or controversial. Directed by architecture office XML, students of this interdisciplinary studio worked on the role of design in activating possible forms of collectivity – the quality or state of being collective – and on developing new democratic imaginaries.

THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

‘There is an old and a new consciousness of the age.

The old one is directed towards the individual.

The new one is directed towards the universal. The struggle of the individual against the universal may be seen both in the world war and in modern art. In place of the dream, the future will put art on a scientific and technical basis.’

FabCity generated a lot of attention from (international) media, Amsterdam citizens, educational institutions and politics. For a lot of the participants FabCity proved a useful stepping-stone; many of the initiatives were continued after it closed its gates at the end of June.

Together with Amsterdam Mayor Eberhard van der Laan (‘This is a city for citizens’), she visited some of the pavilions. They marvelled at the manufacturing plant of the Wikkelhouse and the 3D steel printing robot of MX3D, after which the mayor left and Bussemaker continued her tour, meeting participants and jumping on a Witkar for a short spin.

‘This is the best the Netherlands has to offer.’

FABCITY KICK-OFF 11 WEEKS OF SHAPING THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

It was the start of 11 weeks of intense collaboration, research, education and actual fabrication, shaping the future of everyday living has started. There were 50 pavilions, among which several versions of tiny, self-sufficient houses; containers for 3D-printers - steel, plastic and concrete; places where solutions for excess water were shown; a bread-digester/stove for baking bread and sharing multi-cultural stories; a learning lab for sharing knowledge, research and experience; a multifunctional round stage for performances and debates and a greenhouse/ cafe where participants and visitors could get together for locally grown food and drinks.

FABCITIES SELF-SUFFICIENT: LOCALLY PRODUCTIVE AND GLOBALLY CONNECTED

The Fab City is an international initiative started

by IAAC, MIT's CBA, the Barcelona City Council and the Fab Foundation to develop locally productive and globally connected self-sufficient cities.

The project is connected to the global Fab Lab (Fabrication Laboratory) Network and comprises an international think tank of civic leaders, makers, urbanists and innovators working on changing the paradigm of the current industrial economy where the city operates on a linear model of importing products and producing waste, to a spiral innovation ecosystem in which materials grow inside cities and information on how things are made circulates globally.

More than 200 years since the Industrial Revolution, global urbanisation keeps accelerating. United Nations projections indicate that 75% of the human population will be living in cities by 2050. Newly created cities and the urbanisation process in rural areas replicates a lifestyle based on consumerism and the linear economy, causing destructive social and economic impact, while compromising the ecological systems of the planet.

Fab City is about building a new economy based on distributed data and manufacturing infrastructure. In 2011 IAAC, the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms, the Fab Foundation and the Barcelona City Council launched the Fab City project at the FAB7 conference in Lima. In 2014 at FAB10 the mayor of Barcelona invited his colleagues around the world to join the Barcelona pledge: a countdown for cities to become at least 50% selfsufficient by 2054.

TEXT: TOMAS DIEZ

The first city to become self-sufficient simultaneously increasing employment by creating opportunities through open innovation, and radically reducing carbon emissions by re-localising production - will lead the future of urban development globally.

We have a unique opportunity to build cities from the ground up by synchronising philosophies, visions and objectives together with existing distributed innovation ecosystems, to consolidate and nurture a knowledge based economy that has been developed during the last decade around open source innovations, digital fabrication technologies and distributed digital networks in Fab Labs, Makerspaces and open communities. The Fab City is about radical transformation; it is about rethinking and changing our relationship with the material world, in order to continue to flourish on this planet.

APRIL THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

FAB CITY RESEARCH LAB, IAAC 2016, CONCEPT AND DIRECTION: TOMAS DIEZ, GRAPHIC DESIGN : MARIANA QUINTERO

We need to reinvent our cities and their relationship to people and nature by re-localising production, so that cities are generative rather than extractive, restorative rather than destructive, and empowering rather than alienating, where prosperity flourishes, and people have purposeful, meaningful work that they enjoy, that enables them to use their passion and talent.

We need to recover the knowledge and capacity on how things are made in our cities, by connecting citizens with the advanced technologies that are transforming our everyday life.

The Fab City project will help civic leaders to develop locally productive cities in collaboration with local communities, companies and institutions, revitalising manufacturing infrastructure and incentivising a new economy.

In this way, the citizens and the city are empowered to be the masters of their own destiny, their resilience is increased and a more ecological system is developed with movements of materials and associated energy consumption and carbon emissions typical of the current economy drastically reduced. In order for this to be possible, the city must be locally productive and globally connected to knowledge, economic and social networks, making cooperation between cities, citizens and knowledge centers the basis of the scientific knowledge.

209

In 2015 in FAB11 at Boston, 7 new cities joined the Fab City project, including Boston, Cambridge, Ekurhuleni and Shenzhen. In 2016, Amsterdam city joined the program, and we expect new cities to commit to the Barcelona pledge at the FAB12 conference in Shenzhen, potentially: London, Copenhagen, Paris, Santiago de Chile, and more.

The Fab City initiative is open for other cities, towns or communities to join in order to collectively build a more humane and habitable new world.

Gascoland is a project by Cascoland: an international network of artists, architects, designers and performers sharing a fascination for interdisciplinary interventions in public space. Together they aim at a more ecological and socially sustainable society.

APRIL At FabCity they demonstrated the Gascoland ‘BreadDigester’, which turns surplus bread into biogas, used to fuel a bread oven. It connects issues like energy production and food preservation from surplus, the social aspects of cooking and eating together and the international sharing of knowledge, experience, and tastes.

Cooks from very different cultures – like Morocco, Pakistan, Eritrea and Italy - showed traditional techniques of baking gas-saving bread (on the stove) and shared their preserved foods; all people with extraordinary stories.

The project aimed to share the knowledge of the cooks with the public, as well as their stories. FabCity was also an opportunity for the cooks to extend their networks and develop their skills. The BreadDigester generated a lot of attention and after FabCity the project travelled to other places.

YOUR FIRST TRIP TO CALAIS WAS IN 2005, AND SINCE THEN YOU’VE BEEN GOING REGULARLY. WHAT MADE YOU GO THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WHY DID YOU KEEP GOING BACK? ‘I’ve always been interested in what I call secondary societies — people or situations which are in between two worlds. Illegal immigrants are the most visible people who are in between two worlds. And Calais was the place where they made a mark, they surfaced above the ground almost,

Henk Wildschut has been closely following the development, and the impending demolition, of the refugee camp in Calais for ten years. Taken individually, the photographs seem removed, distant from the subject they’re portraying, but together they are a moving testament to human endurance. During the opening, we had the privilege of asking Henk a few questions. Here are his answers.

‘No, this is totally unique, but I think we will see it more often in the future. As we all know the situation worsened last year, but still there were a lot of new developments. I saw it improve in the past year, because there was a lot of involvement on the part of the volunteers, like nothing I have seen in the past ten years since I have been following Calais. The immigrants build shelters in a very fast way, so they use branches and stuff from junk yards, they also go buy stuff.

But suddenly something changed, people started bringing a lot of stuff, so all the volunteers had trucks full of stuff. There was one action after the festival season in Holland when they collected all the festival tents. I think only from Holland alone there was something like 500 cubic metres worth of goods went into Calais.

But as I said, one of the most important reasons is they don’t want to. It’s not in their interest to be visible, because ultimately they want to enter England in an illegal way, they don’t want to get their picture everywhere. Now the images are so big, I can’t help but think, ‘my god, this guy will be so angry when he sees this photo.’

APRIL

‘Nothing. Everything you see in these images is gone. Except for the church, the church is still there.’

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU? ‘Well, I knew when I started that it was going to end, it was inevitable. It only happened a little sooner than I expected. I was there last Saturday when the main street of the camp burnt down. It was a shock for me because I’d been taking a lot |of pictures of this street for a long time, and it just burnt down. By accident or on purpose, I don’t know, but the police and the demolition team let it burn; it saved them a lot of work.

It was still smoking until the early morning when I asked someone, ‘what do you make of this,’ and all he said was ‘well, you know’ and shrugged.

It was then that I realised they’re not attached to this place. The only reason they’re there is because they want to go to England; this place is temporary. The only ones who are sad are people like me and the volunteers, we are attached. I think that’s very interesting, it’s something I really appreciate about them because it also shows strength and power when you can just create something and leave it because you have a next goal. It’s only a step on their path.’

THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

‘It’s because they don’t want to be photographed, that’s one very important reason. Another reason is my photographs are very distant from the subject. I want to leave it to the imagination, as to who built this, what kind of person is behind this. I want to trigger the imagination of the viewer. In my opinion, a portrait can sometimes be misleading. You can take a picture, and everybody will think, ‘oh, that’s so sad,’ but maybe it’s not true. Maybe somebody is happy, and it was the photographer who asked them, ‘please don’t look so happy.’ I always do it, when I do shoots for a magazine, I always ask people not to smile, because a smile isn’t a truthful moment, no one smiles the whole day. I think portraits are very complicated.

UNDERSTANDABLE. PART OF THE CAMP HAS BEEN BULLDOZED OVER IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO MOVE EVERYONE IN CONTAINERS. A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN’T WANT TO MOVE BECAUSE THEY ALSO HAD TO REGISTER AND I ASSUME THEY WANTED TO REMAIN ILLEGALLY. WILL WE STILL FIND ANYTHING FROM YOUR PHOTOS THERE?

‘FabCity showed us the power of placemaking: connecting things and people, sharing knowhow, building community, and collectively creating places that are altogether more socially and environmentally sustainable. It inspired — in my vocabulary — to imagine everyday urban living in a sustainist mode: more circular, connected, collaborative, locally-rooted, human scale, and co-designed from the ground up. FabCity made me appreciate the cultural value of the ‘commons’, where civic communities of practice — rather then theories or top-down urban blueprints — are spearheading the future for sustainable and liveable cities. It’s sustainist design in the making.’

This Do It Ourselves, or rather Do It Together, mentality unleashes a powerful dynamic in society.

It shows that civic movements are at the heart of change. We need an innovation paradigm shift. Not shareholders value but social value, open instead of closed, cooperative instead of competitive. Smart citizens instead of smart cities.’

FabCity showed a variety of self-sufficient, sustainable, mobile and smart houses - some tinier than others. The Heijmans One - developed by the international building company Heijmans contained solar panels, a battery and rainwater purifying technology. Sustainer Homes showed how obsolete sea containers could be turned into a self-sufficient home with solar panels, wind turbines and a circular water system.

One of the smallest houses was Tiny Tim, made from (burnt) wood and built on three principles: mobile, autarchic and low budget. It also premiered the first water-purifying wall, based on different kinds of plants. In the last week of FabCity, the Tiny Tim team showed how an even smaller version of the home was easily constructed.

More pioneering came from Woonpioniers, who developed the first biobased mobile house in the Netherlands, the Porta Palace. At FabCity it was used for workshops, but also to provide other participants with a roof over their head, like Florian Beukeboom, who was building a home entirely from waste building materials.

TINY HOUSES SMART LIVING AND WORKING IS THE NEW WAY TO DO

FabCity was all about creating a self-sufficient society and leading the way, by showing examples.

A part of FabCity was actually off-grid, with tiny houses and mobile offices connected to a smart grid; a closed energy network for producing and consuming energy.

MAY At FabCity, Zown, part of energy provider Alliander, created a closed microgrid, connecting several pavilions as an example of energyexchange and as a research project to enhance and extend these kinds of grids.

One of the energy producing participants was The Biomeiler - a large wooden barrel filled with woodchips and water, which was turning into compost releasing heat in the process, which can be used to heat buildings and water. And on the river IJ, surrounding FabCity, two solar panels were floating, courtesy by Sunfloat, who produces these much more efficient panels.

At night, FabCity was illuminated by the special streetlights of Zumtobel, which were equipped with smart sensors, adjusting the light to the situation or need of its users.

Another example of flexible housing was shown by the Wikkelhouse. Two prototypes were in use at FabCity, while in a giant hall on the premises the production of the cardboard elements was continuing. The huge truck with its cardboard roll and rotating mould caught a lot of attention.

And then there were the charming offices of Kantoor Karavaan - small vintage caravans transformed on the spot - with the help of students, architects and technicians - into self-sustaining office units.

The luxurious apartments of Finch Buildings were also occupied - people were actually living and working in the modular containers, which are sustainable, healthy to live in and can be adjusted to owners housing wishes.

How do we collectively design our cities and communities to live environmentally and socially sustainable? The process of ‘placemaking’ connects the social to the physical and the ecological. By shifting our vantage point from ‘space’ to ‘place’, it recasts how we envisage the future of our living environment. In doing so it prompts us to re-think the future agenda for citizens, policy makers and entrepreneurs.

How might we design for urban life by connecting the “ecological” principles of the circular economy to the social sphere?

How might we design urban innovations based on collaborative practices that favour sharing resources in an urban “commons” over private ownership and public authority governance?

TEXT: NICOLE SANTÉ In February, European City Makers met in Amsterdam for a pre-Summit, preparing for a massive meeting in May. This New Europe City Makers Summit was the most important moment for City Makers from all over Europe. Seven hundred City Makers, from 150 cities all over The Netherlands and Europe, came to Amsterdam for four days.

The world is changing rapidly and even more so in its big cities. Universal problems concerning affordable housing, climate change, poverty, healthcare, food and energy manifest themselves more prominent and urgent in our exponentially growing cities. At the same time, this is where bottom-up solutions are being created and executed - by so called City Makers.

The summit officially took off with the launch of the first New Europe magazine. This edition contained articles written by City Makers from all over Europe. One of the articles called upon the ministers responsible for the Urban Agenda for the EU to add the so-called (Im)Pact of Amsterdam, initiated by the City Makers network, to their Pact of Amsterdam.

The first copy of the magazine was handed over to Bert Koenders, minister of Foreign Affairs, and Nicolaas Beets, Special Envoy for the European Urban Agenda. Following, minister Koenders gave an inspiring speech, praising the power of the City Makers and calling them indispensable for Europe’s future. Subsequently, several City Makers took the stage to talk about their initiatives at home.

NEW EUROPE CITY MAKERS SUMMIT A CALL TO ACTION

The City Makers movement started in 2012 as an initiative of Pakhuis de Zwijger from Amsterdam with the first City Embassy in Berlin. It was the start of a European platform called New Europe, now consisting of 28 city embassies in all of the capitals of the EU-member states, representing hundreds of City Makers improving their cities by the power of bottom up initiatives. The movement actively links City Makers to the universal contemporary problems and connects them to governments on all levels in order to collaborate on creating the cities of the future: sustainable, self-sufficient, healthy, inclusive, save and clean. The first day of the City Makers Summit was all about meeting each other, the second about getting connected, the third day was about learning from each other and the final day was about taking action.

On day 3, the City Makers cycled across Amsterdam to visit its most inspiring examples of social innovation and the thriving forces behind it.

Simultaneously, the programme ‘We Make Europe: Cities and City Makers enhancing the (Im)Pact of Amsterdam’ was held at FabCity. A co-production of URBACT, Eutropian, Agora Europe, Pakhuis de Zwijger, the Committee of the Regions, ECF and EUROCITIES, to discuss the ‘Urban Agenda for the EU’. This agenda argues that the EU should do more to support European cities by working on better regulation, workable financial instruments and knowledge exchange between cities. The aim of this session was to connect the City Makers Movement to the Urban Agenda for the EU.

THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING

Stories about design and architecture were told in Maastricht and Zaanstad. Talks about co-creation and democracy took place in Zwolle. Social cohesion was the topic of discussion in Lelystad.

In The Hague, the focus was on greening the city.

In Eindhoven, numerous upcoming incubators were visited. In Rotterdam the programme was curated by the re:Kreators network. Finally, the expedition in Utrecht went to the Campus Party and Vechtclub XL. Prominent participant on the last two mentioned expeditions was Markku Markkula, the President of the Committee of the Regions.

On the second day, the most inspiring projects of eight Dutch cities were visited. Every city expedition had its own theme, from co-creation, transformation, creative industry to design and technology.

THE CALL

The following day, New Europe project leader, Charlot Schans, and deputy mayor of Athens, Amalia Zepou, presented the City Makers Agenda.

This call to action was part of the informal minister meeting on the Urban Agenda for the EU under presidency of Ronald Plasterk, minister of Internal Affairs. Parallel to this meeting hundreds of City Makers gathered at the Wall and in Pakhuis de Zwijger to connect.

The City Makers Call for Social Innovation and Collaborative City-Making, which should lead to actual measures in 2018, stated the following:

City Makers are the pioneers exploring, shaping and defining this new way of working.’ The European government was asked, among a list of other demands, to acknowledge the vital role of City Makers in sparking social innovation, to co-create the city with a multiplicity of stakeholders and to re-design democracy for more direct, inclusive and tailor-made decision-making.

‘After some sketching and drawing, I decided to start from the perception of society as a park.

A confined space, surrounded by fences, like Europe, in which people meet each other and have to find a way to communicate with each other. A place where you can chose to ignore each other, or where you have accidental or chosen interaction. A place where you’re not at home or working, but where you try to find rest or adventure.

So I think, even though I also cannot stand people as a species from time to time, the bottom line is we all want to create a better and more liveable world. A world where there will always be tension, as no one can really and fully understand someone else. Sometimes we feel the urge to understand each other, sometimes we won't even try. But we certainly want to live together. This is what keeps us going.’

Whether this cultural paradigm takes expression in sharing a car, or caring about where the trash ends up, this is all part of a 21st century way of living: a way of sharing things, sharing services, sharing spaces, sharing production and sharing responsibilities.’

THE FUTURE OF EVERYDAY LIVING 291

‘Europe by People' is an utopian exclamation and we’d better be real about this. We should wake up to reality and be both receptive as well as defensible in case we feel the need to truly take faith in our own hands. We do not need to be enslaved or blackmailed by antisocial, ecological destructive, abrasive power structures. The alternative is to connect with each other: ‘people’ as ‘nodes’ can face and embrace ‘free will’ in a liable manner. First of all: let’s unchain our food. Liberate and democratise it with the working of a sensible and sensitised governing network.’

I find it particularly inspiring to transform areas into future-proof and resilient districts. In these neighbourhoods, more and more is resolved locally, densely developed and intensively used. It is, therefore, vital that good collective spaces are created. I want to design unique spatial translations for social, collective needs. Because I love the city, the power of the city. I love those places where energy is tangible, where something exciting happens, preferably unexpectedly.’

3D PRINTING A PLASTIC MADONNA, A CONCRETE BUILDING AND A STAINLESS STEEL CANAL BRIDGE TEXT: NICOLE SANTÉ One of the eye-catching themes at FabCity was 3D printing. Several participants were printing products using different materials: sand, plastic waste and steel.

The steel printer by MX3D never failed to impress.

Visitors would happily use a welding mask to look at the machine print steel structures.

The pavilion was set up to showcase products like a bicycle frame and vases. But it also served as a research base on the nodes for a fully functional steel bridge. Joris Laarman Lab designed the bridge for the city of Amsterdam use over one of its oldest canals.

Next door to MX3D, a team of engineers of BAM and students were celebrating a novelty - the world’s first 3D builder entered service on FabCity.

This ‘building machine’ is the first of its kind where free-form print technology is linked to automotive industry robotics. It makes free-form architecture possible, as well as the creation of complex ornamental exteriors. The large printer head, developed and constructed in Italy,

At their building site at the NDSM shipyard, the team developed the Bridge Project, whilst exploring other possibilities of 3D printing on an architectural scale. Their maker space at FabCity included live research on nodes, so 3D printing can finally enter the world of largescale, functional objects and sustainable materials, while allowing unprecedented freedom of form.

At the hall of Makerversity, small 3D printers were used to create toys, games, shoes and statues out of plastic. One of those statues was a 1.20-metre large scale model of the Plastic Madonna, which was revealed On June 8th, World Ocean Day. The actual Plastic Madonna - an initiative by Peter Smith and Stichting Klean will be 12 meters long and made out of recycled plastic from over a 100.000 plastic bottles,

picked up from the streets. In Rio de Janeiro, another larger than life Madonna was placed at the Olympic Boulevard to make people aware of how they can be part of the solution to the ever-growing amount of plastic waste. At FabCity, a workshop XXL printing was organised to inform and inspire people on the possibilities of recycling plastic, using 3D printers.

FABCITY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME MAKING NEW PRODUCTS OUT OF PLASTIC WASTE TEXT: CHRISTEL VAN DE CRAATS PRIMARY SCHOOLS Primary school kids were offered a unique opportunity; they could visit FabCity, the city of their future. The educational programme started at May 11 and continued for ten weeks.

Over 2.000 elementary school kids (groups 7 and 8), from 62 different schools of the metropolitan region Amsterdam, came to FabCity to learn.

The programme combined knowledge and creativity.

Playfully, the pupils were informed about the world of waste, materials, sustainability and circularity. Up front, they were requested to bring their own household waste to the premises.

At the Pretty Plastic Plant, the plastic factory

by Overtreders W and Bureau SLA, they were told about all the different kinds of plastic and the different ways to re-use them. The kids would visit the Plastic Expo, where WASTED showed all the different products being made out of recycled plastic. The kids themselves helped to make new products out of the plastic they brought.

Following, the pupils were taken for a guided tour of FabCity, learning about the different aspects of the future city. Kids of the ‘Kleine Kapitein’, the school adjacent to FabCity, were especially involved with FabCity. Every week another school class would visit, bringing along the plastic waste collected by the school as part of the Plastic Race (a race in which Java Island and KNSM Island were competing for the highest amount of collected plastic waste).

EU IN THE CLASSROOM Not only primary schools visited FabCity; secondary schools also made use of the guided tours. During the Dutch presidency, the municipality of Amsterdam organised the programme EU in the Class Room for more than twenty secondary schools. The programme consisted among other things of debates between the students about Europe. European officials would visit the schools for guest lessons. In collaboration with the city of Amsterdam Europe by People organised a final programme. On 9 June 2016 the students came to FabCity to watch a performance by dance group ‘Don’t Hit Mama’ and to learn about FabCity.

Over a hundred students of MBO schools, located in the province of North Holland, who are specialised in building and infrastructure, came to FabCity for a guided tour. They were assigned by their school to talk to different FabCity participants relevant to their studies, in order to broaden their knowledge on circular building.

The students were also brought in touch with FabCity partner De Nijs BV, who offered them the opportunity to intern to gain work experience.

Students from the ROC-school ‘Facilitating Services’ worked at the FabCafe, powered by Ons Eten, on a daily basis.

The programme kicked off with an introduction week at Pakhuis de Zwijger and included a performance of Lucas de Man’s ‘In Search of Europe’, different lectures and workshops on urban development by amongst others Henk Ovink (water ambassador), Eva Gladek (Metabolic) and Michiel Schwarz (Sustainism) and an interactive discussion on future skills in higher education with minister of Education, Culture and Science Jet Bussemaker, EU policy makers and students. In the introduction week students also visited the Innovation Expo and explored their research area for the first time during a city expedition.

327

The start of FabCity also marked the beginning of the off-campus student programme (11 April – 24 June). In this research programme (international) students coming from a wide range of disciplines, from both universities and art academies, participated. Among the participants were students from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, AMS Institute, HKU University of the Arts, Saxion and InHolland.

Š ANKE TEUNISSEN

For the following ten weeks the hundreds of students worked together in multidisciplinary teams to research transformational issues in eleven study areas across Amsterdam, such as Oosterdokseiland and Buiksloterham. Research topics included circularity, community building, mobility and area development. During the research some of the groups worked closely with a case owner, such as de Ceuvel, BPD, Buiksloterham Circular, BeeCare or the Amsterdam Arena Innovation Center.

The teams investigated urban concerns and issues that are not unique to the city of Amsterdam but are happening in cities all over Europe. Together they developed creative and sustainable solutions to tackle these problems. Students also worked on-site in the study areas, doing fieldwork and talking to stakeholders. In the Learning Lab at FabCity, they met with peers to exchange knowledge and showcased their results.

During the Halfway Festival (19 May), the sea containers of the Learning were transformed into eleven dioramas, in which the groups presented their midterm results with mood boards, posters, videos and photos. In the final week of FabCity, the students presented their outcomes to peers, teachers, stakeholders and other FabCity visitors.

One group of AMS Institute students had the honour to also explain their research and recommendations on the food cycle of the Amsterdam Arena to minister for Foreign Trade and International Cooperation Lillian Ploumen, while she visited FabCity.

Cycling is possible in every city. I won’t let any city off the hook. If you’re in Cape Town, and it’s too hilly, use an e-bike. If I look at subsequent generations, there’s more and more emphasis on wellness and fitness, this is almost an obsession with staying fit. The bike really provides that mechanism to stay fit. They start realising that they don’t really need to go to the gym anymore, that they have free time to do other stuff. (..)

We’ll turn back the clock on climate change quite a bit, because if you can make that kind of transformation, you can actually really radically decrease carbon emissions.’

Sometimes there is friction, but mostly these languages seamlessly merge and strengthen each other. The madman Majnun is a beautiful symbol for bridging social and cultural differences.

In sufi-scriptures his love is understood as a divine force bringing down walls. Following Majnun's footsteps, we want to be part of a city where we will not rest until differences between people will not lead to incomprehension and conflict but to inspiration and renewal.’
