Location: Grote Kattenburgerstraat 3

Vincent van Gogh lived with his Uncle Jan at the city’s naval dockyard. Hundreds of labourers worked there building boats. To Vincent, the sound of their footsteps was ‘something like the sound of the sea.’

A plaque on the building, on the left corner next to the National Maritime Museum, recalls Vincent’s stay here. Feel free to walk through the gate and take a look.

The Art of Making It Up as You Go

When artist DonChristian Jones started at MoMA as the inaugural Adobe Creative Resident, they created a vision for working with young people to share their stories about what art and community meant to them. In the summer of 2024, DonChristian—through their Residency at MoMA, along with the non-profit they run, Public Assistant—and the Lower Eastside Girls Club collaborated on Frequency Gardens, a summer program and radio show. Over the course of a month, eight teens learned how to record and edit audio, conduct live interviews, and tell their stories through art. Four of the teen participants interviewed DonChristian about their collaborative process and what it was like to hear themselves as part of the exhibition.
