'Local Heroes 2019'

With the exhibition series Local Heroes, CBK Zuidoost stimulates the local art climate in Amsterdam Zuidoost. The arts field in the Bijlmer is changing. More and more artists are finding their way to this side of the city. This number will also grow in the coming years. Substantial construction projects of new homes will be realized in the near future. Old office buildings have to make way for this. Before these buildings are demolished, they are temporarily empty. It is precisely in these temporary places that new opportunities arise for artists, as a result of which the cultural ecosystem will continue to expand.

In this edition of Local Heroes, six artists who are based in Amsterdam Southeast present their work.
