Artist Steffen Maas made a mosaic portrait of the legendary Nelson Mandela at the corner of Krugerplein and Pretoriusstraat (also called “De Krugerkop”). 🇿🇦🙌

The mosaic was constructed from hundreds of wooden shields with South African patterns in 2014. It emerged from the collaboration between residents from the Transvaal buurt, among others. The mosaic was intended to confirm or emphasize the neighborhood's connection with South Africa. 🤝

NEW: Cooperative in Amsterdam Nieuw-West! 🌱
Building a greener, more connected city through cooperatives!

🌟 We’re excited about the recent launch of Groen Coöperatie (Green Cooperative) in Amsterdam Nieuw-West - a powerful example of the Community Economy in action!

The cooperative ensures that communities have direct ownership over their neighbourhood’s green spaces, keeping economic and social value where it belongs - within the community, not in the hands of private profit-driven entities.

By giving people a say in how their local environment is shaped, Groen Coöperatie fosters stronger, more resilient neighbourhoods.

Amazing how beautiful and efficient it is living in a functioning society: infrastructure built for people, to make daily lives easier.

Goes for big — Port of Rotterdam's investments to go zero-CO₂ within 25 years — and small: train travel made so easy, it's show up, tap, go.

The installation “Landed Rock” by designer and visual artist Clinton Kabena is about migration. In 2022, more than 100 million people worldwide were fleeing war and violence. ☮️

They usually settle in an environment far away from home, which is unknown and new to them. 🚙 🧳

After I got home from the park where I shot this, I looked up this very tree on one of my favourite websites from the city of Amsterdam. A huge detailed map of all trees and their location in the city. Check it out!! You don't need to know Dutch to appreciate the site. Just zoom and zoom in until you see all the dots. Click on one!
