Social Capital
I am a tool of gentrification is onderdeel van het meerjarige kunstprogramma Social Capital, een initiatief van TAAK en LIMA media art platform. Amsterdam breidt zich razendsnel uit. Het publieke domein komt daarmee steeds verder onder druk te staan. Hoe kunnen we, ondanks regelgeving, monocultuur en vermarkting, de openbare ruimte nog blijven zien als plek voor verbeelding en avontuur? Social Capital zoekt naar antwoorden met interventies, presentaties, workshops, performances en video’s, geprogrammeerd op onverwachte locaties in verschillende stadsdelen in Amsterdam.
Social Capital is tot stand gekomen dankzij bijdragen van Mondriaan Fonds, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst en Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Noord-Holland.

Please join us for the première of I am a tool of gentrification. West by Lyuba Matyunina.
Lyubov Matyunina investigates in this experimental documentary the role played by artists in area development and how processes of gentrification can nurture not only the market but also the creative sector. She noted that artists often play a central role in gentrification processes but eventually have to clear the field. Could artists also permanently fulfill social functions in neighbourhoods, she wonders. And, could city development not only be profitable to the market, but also to the creative sector? These questions form the starting point for a series of experimental documentaries in different parts of Amsterdam in which Matyunina investigates the complexity of gentrification, but also speculates on positive alternatives for the art and artists.
The Amsterdam-West edition will focus on broedplaatsen like Broedplaats Lely, WOW and HW10 and analyses the functioning of theses place in neighbourhoods were housing price are rapidly rising.
Lokaal 01 will serve a simple dinner. (cash only)

About Social Capital #2
I am a tool of gentrification is part of Social Capital, a multi-year programma by TAAK and LIMA media art platform. Amsterdam is expanding rapidly because of economic and social forces. As a result, the public domain is under increasing pressure. Despite regulations, monoculture and commodification, how can we continue to see public space as a place for imagination and adventure? To address this question, TAAK launched Social Capital in september 2018 consisting of interventions, presentations, workshops, performances, videos and installations at unexpected locations in various Amsterdam neighbourhoods.
