 Guided walk & rubbing printing in Amsterdam Nieuw-West 

the eco-social lives of water

 July 2, 2025

  Starting from Buurtwerkplaats Noorderhof
  Max 15 participants (intimate group – RSVP to join)
  Free, with snacks & drinks
  Event in English

We will guide a walk around the neighborhood of Sloterplas, tracing how water shows up or hides within the urban landscape. From mossy cracks and rusted drains to quiet puddles and damp walls, we’ll pause at subtle signs of presence and disappearance—making rubbing prints from textures that speak to you. 

As part of the route, we’ll visit the Museumwoning at Van Eesteren Museum, stepping into a lived domestic environment of a 1950s Tuinstad household, where water is used and disposed of, and where ideas of cleanliness and dirtiness are negotiated.

During the walk:
•⁠  ⁠create rubbings on paper
•⁠  ⁠capture a feeling, scent, or visual trace
•⁠  ⁠share stories about water in the neighborhood

What flows, gathers, leaks, or lingers in your daily life?
What does it mean to trace what isn’t always visible?

Led by Rosalie Bak & Nesie Wang, this walk is an invitation to sense with the body, move with care, and hold space for the eco-social memory of water in the neighborhood—layered, maintained, often forgotten.
