Lectures 'Amsterdam built on photos'

It is a feast to be an Amsterdammer, a feast to celebrate! On the occasion of the capital's 750th anniversary, Arti et Amicitiae is hosting the exhibition Amsterdam built in pictures. Images from the capital over the past 50 years, from 1975 to 2025. The exhibition is a loving look back through the eyes of 20 photographers and artists who see Amsterdam as property. Not a thousand tulips from Amsterdam but photos, lots of photos.

On Saturday 18 January from 14.00 to 15.30, on the occasion of the opening of the Art Year, there will be lectures in the Arti et Amicitiae society that tie in with this exhibition.

Hans Aarsman on the Amsterdam cityscapes of photographer Arsath Ro'is "Not a picture or he had his moped in view somewhere." (see photo), Martin Grootenboer on the turbulent, beautiful, painful 80s and Arnold Weel on photo series for the Parool, endlessly walking through the city.  

The society will be open this day from 12.00 - 17.00 for drinks (no lunch).
The lectures are free to attend at the society. Registration is not necessary.
Admission in the exhibition rooms: €5.
