Hot love nests and more in the Freezing Favela

Build a temporary city at Mediamatic Fabriek

Freezing Favela, the temporary city in and around Mediamatic Fabriek, is coming along nicely. In the coming week, we will start working on City Dust Pavilion's architectural retreat, Pretty Nice Stuff's 6-meter-T-shirt, and the Hot Love Nest. Drop by and learn how to construct an oven or a shower, and how to build walls with paper and cloth. Visit our website for building dates.

More information

The Freezing Favela is being built in and around Mediamatic Fabriek, Oostenburg Amsterdam. Builders, cooks and other makers have been given the possibility to claim a part of the big industrial Van Gendthallen as their own. They work on their projects autonomously, but like in any other community, materials, space and functions have to be shared. Favela citizens are making tostis from scratch, paper from cow shit, furniture from cardboard, and food from our very own aquaponics farm. And everyone is welcome to contribute. Build this city with us. We're open every Wednesday and Sunday between 2pm and 5pm.
