- Project: De Wilde Reis Tijgers
- What: Art direction & Design
- Collaboration: Marjolein Dordregter, Stichting de Bakkerij
Meet your neighbourhood in a new, surprising way! ‘De Wilde Reis Tijgers’ was a temporary (5 – 23 Dec, 2010) travel agency in Osdorp, Amsterdam. A group of children from this neighborhood, created 4 trips, demonstrating travellers an alternative way of looking at their environment. The trips were sense-related, one could listen to music interviews and invented stories in the ‘listening route’ (yellow route). Alternatively one could look at (red route) a wall painting, fresh new designs for the least interesting looking building, a photography exhibition and a ocumentary film. The ‘tasting route’ (pink route) was very popular. Here, visitors were introduced to all the lovely flavors Osdorp knows. Visitors were even able to meet a family in their own house and to taste some local home cooking. During the ‘feeling route’ (blue route) one would be introduced to the boxing school, a dance and an art work that made the selected place nicer. Visitors were able to enter a house, choose the right colour door, and see 15 different comfortable chairs, made by the children. The results of this project are proud children, involved local residents and a more pleasant neighbourhood.
