On 5 May 2023, Street Art Museum Amsterdam will celebrate it’s first (bring your own) Freedom Meal in their new HQ in Dichtersbuurt in Slotermeer. We would like to mix Painting and Poetry, during an informal ALL INCLUSIVE dinner/buffet at SAMA HQ Gardens. Our gardens are intertwined with other residents because of a shared lawn, facing the sunny side, and making it a perfect playground for kids and families.

Our aim is to connect the old and the young, especially those with a non-Western background, including many Ukrainian new-comers. We have therefore created this themed event, ‘All Inclusive, Freedom in Poetry’ to mark the first Vrijheidsmaaltijd (Freedom Meal) since the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the bridges connecting Dichtersbuurt to Plein ’40-’45 is named after Aat Breur-Hibma. She was a Dutch draftswoman and painter. During World War II, she joined the Dutch resistance and ended up as a Nacht und Nebel prisoner in Ravensbrück. There she made poignant pencil drawings of fellow prisoners that are preserved at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Activities:

• Portraits Workshop  (14.00 – 16.00), please register.

• Bring your own food picnic!
