Beautiful morning sun + a new publication in @parool.nl this weekend. About the bureaucracy behind parking permits and how the city of Amsterdam has failed some of its citizens. Read here: tinyurl.com/2p8mubt #hetparool

Mario is a young poet, student, and Catholic. Trained in western literature, he grew up with stories of miracles and witchcraft. “Religion is not a chain, but a source of wisdom, like science or art.”

From the project 'Yo soy otro tú, tú eres otro yo' about Mexicans and their faith #fromthearchives

Research question: tips on artists or art projects that incorporate extensive journalistic research, particularly through installation-based storytelling and immersive mediums (XR/VR, etc)? + journalists who use transmedia or installation formats? #research #transmedia #journalism

+ some more to read [in Dutch]. It's such an important subject (more than 17,000 people homeless in Amsterdam alone) so go and have a look at the exhibition if you can @amsterdammuseum.bsky.social

(Also mucho thanks to @jpekker.bsky.social for the text and the time ✨)

The exhibition 'Homeless in the city' is open! It's an important topic so please go see it @amsterdammuseum.bsky.social

Here’s Brian at the opening—standing in front of the poster, which features him watching a movie in the rain on his favorite park bench.
