Onder de daken van Nieuw-West

How and when does the feeling of home begin?

For this project, Kakebeeke spoke with Saskia, Roy, Konca, Hasan, Nadia, and Jaleesa, residents of the largest communities in Nieuw-West. Their personal stories offer an intimate glimpse into what it means to feel at home in a constantly evolving neighborhood.

Combining photography and conversation, the exhibition shows how a sense of home is shaped—and sometimes distorted—by time, architecture, and societal change.

Artist Walk & Talk – March 8, 2:30–4:00 P.M.

During this special tour of the museum house, Karijn Kakebeeke will talk about the project's development. Following the tour, there will be a question-and-answer session where she will discuss her research, working methods, doubts, and the creative process behind the exhibition.

Van Eesteren Conversation & Book Launch – March 12, 7:30–9:00 PM

This evening, the photo book "Under the Roofs of Nieuw-West" will be officially launched. The discussion will be moderated by Soumaya Bazi. The book's design is by Jeremy Jansen, whose previous designs have won national and international awards. Together with the audience, the audience will explore what it means to feel at home today and how we can maintain connection in a diverse city.
