NIEUWE NIEUWSMARKT
ISSUE 1: HOUSING STRUGGLE AMSTERDAM - SPRING 2024

Omschrijving

Nieuwe Nieuwsmarkt is a biannual magazine for, about, and from the Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood. NNM is an initiative of Werker Collective and aims to address urgent matters affecting our lives in Amsterdam. By presenting stories, documents, and photos from both the past and the present, we create space for new collective actions. Nieuwe Nieuwsmarkt takes its name from Nieuwsmarkt, a bulletin issued between 1971 and 1972 by the Action Group Nieuwmarkt in protest against the municipality’s plans to demolish the Nieuwmarkt and Lastage neighbourhoods to build a highway and metro line. How did citizens of the past resist homelessness and speculation in Amsterdam? What resources does the new generation of Amsterdammers have? Nieuwe Nieuwsmarkt can be seen as a toolkit to thoroughly remodel the neoliberalism that has sold our city. Nieuwe Nieuwsmarkt is for all Amsterdammers who collectively want to create a more caring, diverse, fair, and sustainable city.
