This autumn we invited two Amsterdam-based creators over to Cathy’s house to talk about their recent work …
Jesus de Vega, choreographer (jesusdevega.com)
On his piece, Stigma: “I felt that there was a change in the climate … more homophobic voices … I felt that, as a maker, I wanted to somehow make a stand for the LGBTQ community .”
Emilio Brizzi, photographer (emilio-brizzi.com)
“We are given this beautiful memory … so we can recall the time before we were here … And so maybe … it’s good thing to record a time when we are here , so that your children will eventually look back on these years and find some tangible proof of what it was.”
We chatted with the founder of food pop-up Pinch about starting up a food business in Amsterdam. This film premiered on our SO DAM LOCAL TV show earlier this month but you can now watch it online …
