‘Design your own Smib t-shirt by sketching and etching.’ This was part of the assignment given to participants by artist Georgy Dendoe (Smib) and education officer Jaleesa Clows (Museum Rembrandthuis) during the two-day workshop Rembrandt van de Buurt.
The workshops were organised in the Amsterdam districts of North, Southeast, and New West, in collaboration with the social welfare organizations DOCK, Vivell, One Youth Work, and the OBA Maakplaatsen (Makeplaces). In each district, 15 to 20 young people participated in the workshops. One winner was selected per district, and their etching was printed on a Smib t-shirt. However, there are no losers in the project, as all the participants’ works will be exhibited at The Rembrandt House Museum until January 18th and will then travel to various OBA libraries in Amsterdam.
Rembrandt van de Buurt is a collaboration project between The Rembrandt House Museum, Sumibu (Smib), welfare organisations DOCK, Vivell, One Jongerenwerk and OBA Maakplaats. It is made possible by:
