Free to be: Portraits of ADMAmsterdamse Droogdok Maatschappij (ADM) was a creative free haven and the Netherlands’ largest squatted community. On January 7, 2019, ADM residents were brutally evicted from the terrain they occupied for 21 years, although the United Nations delivered two measures against the eviction.In 21 years, ADMers built a unique space teeming with creativity, a beautiful and chaotic experiment of interaction between people and the nature. ADM space was razed to the ground during the eviction, in which most ADMers lost their home and personal belongings. Valeria Mongelli did a photo reportage on ADM community, documenting the last weeks of its existence.Paper Fetish will host a temporary exhibition of Valeria’s work. The presentation of the photos will be accompanied by the screening of the short documentary “Once was squatters’ paradise”, which includes some of Valeria’s photos. The documentary was realized by the newsroom of 31mag.nl.The meeting will be accompanied by an Italian dinner (optional), music and artist talk with screening. Guest presentations related to the topic are welcome.
