Meiden van de Meeuw: an audiotour in Amsterdam

Language: Dutch. Each wednesday afternoon a girlsclub meets at communitycentre De Meeuw ('the Sea-gull') in Amsterdam Noord. Nienke Rooijakkers thrust them into mini-reporters of their own lives. Dreams, contemplations and practical lifelessons follow eachother up while you are guided through the neighbourhood. Evelien van den Broek made the music and sounddesign for this audiotour. Environmental sounds, voicerecordings and music are embedded into one large soundscape. A sound documentary about a working class neighbourhood with a history - where life isn't always easy, but where the buoyancy is enormous.

Commissioned by Soundtrackcity. With financial support of Amsterdamse Fonds voor de Kunst, Mondriaan Stichting, Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds, SNS Reaalfonds and city district Amsterdam Noord.
