Art in Amsterdam must better show who lives in the city

English · translation

In Amsterdam, there are more than 1,750 artworks displayed outdoors on the streets. Many people see these sculptures every day. But the stories behind this art do not represent everyone in the city.

Some groups of people are not well represented in the artworks. That is why the municipality of Amsterdam wants to change this. In the future, Amsterdam wants all people to see themselves reflected in the street art.

Art in the city must show who all lives in Amsterdam. The municipality ensures that the art is distributed more fairly. This way, everyone feels at home in the city.
