This dynamic installation allows you to experience an unending stream of waste in its sheer power, and to spot some accidental beauty in the matter we cast aside.

Over the past 30 years, global waste production has more than doubled - and continues to grow. These streams reach even the most remote corners of the world, bringing disruption and transforming environments. But some of them, paradoxically, support and sustain local resilience.

When harnessed by communities and horizontal organisations, waste streams can become a valuable resource. The work of the Grondstoffenstation of the Afrikaanderwijk Cooperative offers a powerful example of this kind of harvesting. It forms an alternative, community-driven waste management system that helps keep both material and financial value circulating within the neighbourhood.

Every Wednesday and Saturday, plastic bags fly through the air here with the Afrikaandermarkt - creating scenes both unsettling and poetic. And yet, some of the energy of this turbulent stream is captured, redirected, and used to sustain lives.

Please note the opening hours of this exhibition:
Wednesdays: 10:00–21:00
Saturdays: 12:00–19:00
