Home by Mounir Raji is a heartfelt ode to Amsterdam-West, specifically the Kolenkitbuurt and the Admiralenbuurt, and above all to the people who bring them to life. The exhibition takes place across two locations: Mercatorplein and MAQAM, both in Amsterdam. The exhibition at Mercatorplein runs from 13 October to 7 November 2025, and at MAQAM from 16 October 2025 to 30 January 2026.
Raji spent much time around Mercatorplein and MAQAM, from sidewalks to living rooms and backyards. There, he met people who are often overlooked, yet form the beating heart of the city. Some came from far away, carrying a suitcase full of courage and memories. Here, they rebuilt their lives, each in their own way, in their own language while together shaping a neighbourhood.
