Portuguese artist Sara Saco has been working since October at the KijkRuimte on the Van der Pekstraat in Amsterdam North. During this time she has been researching how art projects such as the KijkRuimte can develop a relationship with their surroundings. For her it has become clear that this can only happen when there is a visible exchange with the neighbourhood.

In order to bring her idea into practice Sara is opening a temporary, free hair salon for Amsterdam North at the KijkRuimte. She has chosen this form of expression because the hairsalon is naturally the place to chat, gossip and exchange thoughts with each other.

Sara invites everyone, from 30th November until 10th December, to come over to her hairsalon for a free haircut and friendly conversation over life in the North. Share your experiences of the neighbourhood, whether you have lived here for years or just arrived, and your thoughts on this kind of art project. With and without appointment!

For more information come by the KijkRuimte, 15 Van der Pekstraat, Amsterdam North or mail us at kijkruimte@gmail.com. Opening times are Thursday - Saturday, 1 – 6 pm. It is also possible to make an appointment.
