THE RED THREAD

A contrary & artistic Christmas project
for the Spuibuurt Amsterdam.
A community project led by Sasja Strengholt

The Spuibuurt is dressed with a winter coat of 22 objects this year. This authentic Amsterdam neighborhood has always remained quirky.

The diversity of entrepreneurs has joined forces to create a warm and cozy welcome this Christmas for the Amsterdam residents who cycle or walk through it every day.

An art project made by happy knitters and makers who are from (or support) the Spuibuurt. Together they worked on objects that transformed the Spuibuurt into a cozy Christmas neighborhood. Trees, lanterns and alleys received original custom made decorations. A project that will grow in the upcoming 3 years.

Made for and by Amsterdam residents, under the direction of artist Sasja Strengholt.
Commissioned by the Spuibuurt entrepreneurs' association.
