Bajesdorp

**Bajesdorp: A Community-Driven Housing Project in Amsterdam** Bajesdorp is a community-driven housing project based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with a strong focus on social art, theatre, music, and food. The project originated from a squatting community that was evicted and demolished in 2019 but managed to secure a foothold for future development. Currently, Bajesdorp is in the process of building a collectively owned and cooperative permanent broedplaats (breeding ground for creativity), which will serve as a shared housing and atelier space for artists and creatives. The community is open to new members and offers various activities such as open training weekends for acrobatics and communal meals at affordable prices. Bajesdorp also hosts artivists-in-residence, such as Asia, a graphic artist from Warsaw who focuses on feminist subjects. The project emphasizes inclusivity and initiative, fostering a community of open and creative individuals who organize unique events and activities.
