During my internship at the Independent School for the City in Rotterdam, I've made this booklet which contains the results of the Spring School "Borders are for Crossing". This Spring School was organised between the 18th and 25th of March 2019.
The course focussed on the visible and invisible borders in an urban area that straddles the cities of Rotterdam and Schiedam: Oud/Nieuw Mathenesse. The area has two sharply divided zones: the first is a mid-century housing neighbourhood that has for decades been the destination of migrant workers and other immigrants to find homes, start businesses and families and gradually integrate into the Dutch economy and society. The second is a former harbour area which is going to be redeveloped into innovative and creative urban area.
I was also partially in charge of the photography. All the images on this spread, are mine.
