No. 37 - Spring 2025

Please note: This issue is available in Dutch only.

Ik kan blijven kijken naar jou, Amsterdam! In this anniversary year, we bring a unique ode to the capital. We asked an architect, book designer, theater maker, curator, writers and chefs about the unconditional love for their city and created a guide with all their favorite places. A number for everyone who wants to experience the city like an Amsterdammer. PS This is not a tourist guide!

Editor-in-chief Nicole Ex talks about the Nine Streets, actor and theatre maker Kim Karssen about the Transvaalbuurt, book designer Irma Boom about Oud-Zuid, writer Safae el Khannoussi about the Frederik Hendrikbuurt, architect Auguste van Oppen about Noord, chefs Naiara Sabandar and Zana Josipivic about the Baarsjes, and curator Jacquill G. Basdew about Oostenburg.
