Concurrently with American Photography, Carrie Mae Weems’s 2021 series Painting the Town will be on show in the Rijksmuseum’s photography gallery. At first glance Weems’ large and powerful works resemble abstract paintings. During the Black Lives Matter protests, campaigners wrote texts on the panels that shopkeepers had used to board up their windows as a precautionary measure. The authorities then rendered the slogans illegible by covering them with large patches of paint. The unintended result of this act of censorship was a series of painterly compositions. Weems uses her work to explore what it means to be a witness to history, through themes such as racism, sexism and discrimination.

Oltre Terra, Formafantasma’s ongoing project and traveling exhibition, explores the history, ecology, and global dynamics of wool extraction and production. It goes further than the simple definition of wool as material, to look at it within a much broader ecology. Wool is the entry point for delving into the intricate interactions and interdependencies within an ecosystem. By looking at the history of sheep domestication, wool production, and material culture, Oltre Terra unravels the complexities of the cooperative symbiosis between animals, humans, and the environment. The exhibition explores this very intimate, yet complex, bond between humans and animals, emphasizing the impact they have on one another.

Making ice cream seems simple, but there is much more to it than meets the eye. Whether you encounter ice cream in Amsterdam or make your own at home, the science behind it is fascinating. Have you ever wondered why the ice cream you take out of the freezer is often cloudy? This is because it freezes too fast, trapping air bubbles and small impurities. Clear ice, on the other hand, melts more slowly and is perfect for in your drink. To make clear ice, you can boil water first or let it freeze slowly. This way, you remove air and impurities, which not only makes your glass look better, but also keeps your drink cooler for longer without diluting too much.
